Ready?

I'm not.  I'm doing a major scramble this weekend.  All my shopping is done and most of my wrapping is done but I have some sewing to finish up for Punkie and wrapping all her "Santa" gifts.  My MIL called me this morning and asked if Punk wanted to spend the night over there to give me some private time to get things done.  YES PLEASE!

Enough complaining.  Let me show you what I've been up to.

I found some cute ideas out on Pinterest (again) and put some of them into action.  I have a Godson who is going to be 15 in February and what do you give a 15 year old boy??!?  No clue here so money it is!

I thought this would be a cute way to give my Godson some spending money.




Next, teacher gifts.   A bag for Punk's "main" teacher.  I made the Tahoe Tote and dug in my stash for some yardage.  Punk picked out this combo and I set to work.  I like it.  I hope her teacher does as well.



And a fleece blanket for the teacher's aide in her classroom.



And a little something for me.  About a week or 2 ago I got some happy mail.  Carol sent me a very sweet pincushion.  I just adore it.  Thank you Carol for thinking of me during the busy holiday season!

if you can't see it, Carol stitched "Pins" in the center.  Too cute.
There's a bit more I want to share.  I'll be posting again.  :)

Enjoy your day!
Jen

  2. I wish I were on your Christmas list! The 15 year old is going to have the best time unrolling each of the bills you gave him - he's never going to forget that one! I think your MIL deserves something extra special!
