christmas seems to be coming at a rapid pace and i feel like i have no time left! luckily, i had all day saturday to myself. saturday morning i was able to sleep in, and after getting up i drove to joann's for supplies. the rest of my day was spent attached to my sewing machine. i was able to put a nice dent in my christmas presents, but it still doesn't feel like enough. i've also developed a sanity-saving system of precutting all my fabrics the night before i sew and stacking them with their directions, it makes life so much easier and organized.
sunday, my friend talia was hosting a tree trimming party. i was hoping to make her some ornaments from these really cute nesting doll embroidery patterns, but alas i ran out of time. instead i made my aunt gina's artichoke dip and gave talia a darling penguin ornament i bought in claremont village. i'm happy to say that the dip was a huge hit.


i'm really looking forward to christmas and being able to share pictures of all the projects i've been working on. as a post christmas treat, i think i'll tackle this project for myself...
