Getting Ready for Christmas! :)

Hello!

I've been really busy getting ready for Christmas. So much to do! Decorate . . . Trees up but only half done  :(  . . . Decorations aren't up yet  :(  but I've been making a little progress on all my projects.  :}  The 5 aprons turned into 6 aprons. The 2 for swaps are finally going out in tomorrow's mail. :) The 2 for gifts are ready. :)  And the other 2 . . . well they're for me! I know! I just had to. I loved the two colorways I made and I just had to have one of each for myself. I knew that if I didn't do them now I wouldn't ever get them done. I love them! I'll show them all to you next week after my swap buddies get theirs.  :)

Tonight is the first Friday Night Sew-In of the month!

I definitely will need both of them this month! Will you be joining me at your machine? I'm actually ready to go for a change! I know I can't believe it either!  :)  I'm making two pairs of jammie pants for each of my 3 kids for Christmas gifts. Here are the flannel fabrics I'll be using . . .

The first two are for my 22 23 year old son (he had a birthday Monday!). The next two are for my 16 year old son . . .  and the last two are for my 21 (soon to be 22 year old!) daughter.

Here they are all cut and ready to go.  :)  I occupied my sewing room Thursday and got all these cut out and ready to sew. I'm also hoping to get to this fabric tonight . . .

I'm making something for my 23 year old son with it. Yes the 23 year old! He loves pirates! What will I be making him? You'll have to wait and see! Hee hee!  :)  It'll be a really quick project. I showed the fabric to my hunky dude and he actually said to make him one too! Little does he know that I'd already planned on it!  :)  They will make great stocking stuffers! Anyone want to guess what I'm making with it?

I got a surprise in the mail today!  :)  I already knew what it was but I was shocked it got here so quickly! It was an apron I won earlier this week from the Apronista blog. The apron was donated and made by D-Lux 57. I was very impressed with the presentation. It came in a box . . .

I opened the box and it was wrapped in tissue. . .

I was surprised when I saw what looked like a fabric envelope in plastic . . .

It was a fabric envelope!  :)

And it's in the same fabrics as the apron! What an awesome surprise!  :)

Inside the envelope was the apron folded neatly and a little note . . .

Here's the apron . . .

I love it!  :)  This apron is actually a little different than the picture from the website . . . but I love it! (I actually like it better than the one on the website!)  :)  Lucky me!  :)  Here's a close up of the fabrics . . .

It's very well made and a great design! I absolutely love it and wore it the rest of the day!  :)

Don't forget I'll be having a giveaway starting on Saturday! Be sure to come back to see what I'm giving away! Maybe the mailman will deliver it to your door!  :)

Until next time . . .
