Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

It's been two months since I posted last... holy cow!

Most of what I've worked on I can't post, or don't have pictures of yet. But I've been pinning up a storm on Pinterest, decorating for Christmas, and trying to get all my Christmas presents done (more on that later!)

And since today is Giveaway Day, I have my very first giveaway to share!

I LOVE decorating for Christmas and I have had so much fun doing Christmas crafting. So up for grabs is this set of handmade ornaments!

  1. Post a comment telling me your favorite holiday crafting project!

    Hi Liz! Your ornaments are beautiful. I have seen this idea on Pintrest and have wanted to try them. I bought material to make a Christmas wreath, so that will be my project for the year!

    I love to make ornaments for my kids . . . the patterns are always different, and I like to do hand sewing on them whenever possible. :)

    Oh my word - I thought these were apples in the preview image - teehee. Good thing I popped on over to find that they are gorgeous ornaments. Thank you for the chance to win them :)Apples - pfff.

    My favourite holiday crafting is making up little Xmas goodies for our home. I'm married to Mr Grinch, so have to sneak in Xmas one item at a time and accumulate them over time. One day he's going to wake up to Santa's North Pole Wonderland and have no idea how it got to that point - bwahahaha.

    Making ornaments with my 4 yr old daughter. This year we are making paper chains and adding on new rings whenever I catch her doing something nice. And she had fun stringing popcorn for the tree!

    I LOVE making a new cross stitch ornament every year for our tree! It's so relaxing to start on it when it gets chilly and dark in the evenings and have it done for Christmas.

    Favorite holiday craft is making cookies. Does that count as a craft? I also look forward each year to making Christmas fruit cake. yum....

    If food stuff doesn't count, my favorite holiday craft is making the kids' Christmas pajamas. This year it's flannel pants, and the shirts have matching flannel appliques. They turned out so cute!

    My favorite holiday craft is coming up with a candy container for 60 people at work that doesn't break the bank. Last year I used mini coke glasses that I filled with candy and decorated. This year I'm using pencil cases but have not decided yet how to decorate...

    Thanks for the great giveaway!

    Our local university has a christmas party with crafts for kids. So anything from that was so fun when I was little. I knew I would get to be creative: the pom pom teddy bear bell, painted santas, etc. Now the nephews are involved and we get things like christmas footballs. A bit ridiculous and fun.
