christmas handmade challenge

as we have a new little man in the extended family this year i've been thinking what to buy him for christmas this year. i have this very cute monster fabric on its way to me and for part of his birth present i'll be making him a cushion with his initial on it. as is becoming a traditional part of my gift.

so wondered if i would maybe use the rest of the fabric to make him a matching quilt for christmas. knowing me im sure if i manage to do just that i wont be able to wait till christmas! : )

see what everyone else is adding to their christmas list over at knicky knacks.

christmas crowds

well the crowds have certainly thickened up over the years and I think I have put off the final christmas shop long enough. I'm deciding whether or not to tackle the christmas shopping crowd tonight. i've just popped into aldi which was 'fun' so not sure if i'm ready for the big shopping centre or not. although i really want to get everything finalised as I'm starting to feel that panic feeling creeping in.
