Christmas Sew N' Tell

Well Christmas has long come and gone and I realized that now is my chance to show all of the things I that I sewed for my friends and family. Then I realized that I did not take any pictures of the multiple purses, clutches, coin purses or mini duffel bags that I created. So instead here is a post about all of the ornaments that I made for my family and friends, and of course myself.

Here's Mr. and Mrs. Claus made from clothes pins.

Close up of Santa.

Snowman, also made from a clothespin, and a toothpick nose and a thread spool hat.

Clothespin ornaments of Charlie and I to commemorate our Half Marathon Success.

And here is another Santa ornament that I made from a dried milk-weed pod. I remembered making these in the 5th grade with one of my favorite teachers of all time, Mrs. Kenney. I collected milk-weed pods in the fall and then did my best to remember what they looked like and made a few of these.

Then I went to my moms house and the first version from 5th grade was on the tree:
Now this leads me to one of two possible assumptions. 1. I was way better at crafts in the 5th grade than I am now, or 2. Mrs. Kenney had a lot more to do with the creation and execution of this ornament than I remembered.

Here's another bird ornament that I made for my Mum.
Also for Christmas my Mum gave me two kits from Posie Gets Cozy. I have made one kit and here are two of the finished results. I love them! A little tree with sequin snowflakes.
A cute little deer.
And lastly, here is something I actually sewed for the Sew N' Tell. Two Christmas dishtowels I made for my Grammy.

I can't wait to see the other things that everyone else was keeping secret over the holidays on Amy's blog.
Lauren!
