Gift Boxes... and some sewing!

So the last few days I've done very little crafting for me.. Got caught up with my babies and Christian Grey & Anastasia Steele... Yup, I like to read... and I can't put a book down once its started... even if its the second time reading it LOL I should know better than to pick it up even for a few minutes!!
But now that those are finished again I need to get the rest of Christmas ready!
Wanna see what I have completed the last few days?

My sis actually pinned this post on pinterest and I loved it so gave it a try for a couple quick little gifts for coworkers... Each box took alittle over an hour to finish.. a score in my book! And they are adorable!! Imagine if I took more time embellishing? I like the simple look for these gifts.. So shout out to"From my craft room" for this tutorial!!

Cute ey? I filled them with Chocolate, Treats for thier children, Treats for thier dogs, Tic Tacs and Home made beeswaz lip balm. I hope they like them!!

I am also entering one of these boxes into Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week! Wish me luck!

Then I finished up a little throw quilt I made with scraps left over from a tree skirt I made back in October with a pattern from Nite Owl Quilting. The Grinch is hubbys favorite Christmas character and the girls seem thrilled to have a little kid in the christmas decor! 

And that's what I have been working on this week... What about you??

Now off to get started on those pjs!! Seriously!! 1 week to go and I'm just getting started!! And i have all the wrapping left!! Damn you Fifty Shades!!! ;)

My poor sewing machine...

Hello Again!

Today was a sewing kinda day! With Christmas just 2 weeks away I had a few quick little projects to finish up before getting ready and off to work. Wanna see? OK!!

First I put the binding on a quilt for my littlest one. The pattern is from a breast cancer quilt book... Forgive me I don't remember what its called.. I borrowed it from the library... But its pink! Lol!

Second I whipped up a quick bag for a coworkers gift. I used the pattern from Zaaberry.blogspot.ca. This is the 5th bag using this pattern and I love it!! Its quick, easy and soooo cute!!! Thanks Zaaberry!!!

These are the other ones I made:

And lastly I whipped up a cricut cover for my lil sis for her xmas present. I made myself one this summer with a pattern from Crafty Girls Workshop. My sis wanted one right away.. took me awhile but its done!! The best part is that I used Tim Holtz material and embellishments which just tickles my fancy lol. I love Tim Holtz, did I mention that?

First up my cover:

Now here is the new one for lil sis:

So thats what happened here today... Tomorrow.. maybe nothing lol... but Sunday we are making Frozen jammies for the littlest!!!

What are you working on?

Xmas Door Decor

Last year my oldest and I made her a Christmas penguin sign for her door... which reappeared this year with much joy from her! So tonight while waiting for Jakobs Memorial Canvas to dry I whipped this up for the little one...
Pretty basic but so much fun! Can't wait to see if she is as excited about it as I think her sis will be!

Supplies:
Brown, light brown, beige and red cardstock for the reindeer
Background is a Mambi sheets specialty cardstock from a paper pack I picked up at Michaels (sadly just for this project... anyone need some specialty xmas paper?)
Red acrylic paint
Modge Podge
CTMH liquid glass
Winka Stella in clear
Stickles in Xmas Red

Happy Creating friends!!
