Last night at our monthly LAMQG meeting we enjoyed an awesome holiday swap.
My partner was Kelly, who asked for something that was Christmas themed. Now, I have to tell you this kinda stumped me at first, outside of stockings and advent calendars, I haven't sewn something holidayish. So after a bit of hum bugging I finally got to work. Kelly had mentioned that she kept two 20 inch throw pillows on her coach and with all the pillow inspiration I have been getting from Angela's blog, I decided to go for it.
Now I have to admit, this little flea market fancy hexagon christmas tree was not easy to part with.
I mean really, look how cute they looked on my sofa!!
Kelly really seemed to love them as much as I did, so it made it easier to say goodbye to these two babies. Besides.....look what I scored
six amazing placemats made for me by Alissa!!
I L-O-V-E them!!!
I am in awe of how she was able to make something for me that truly is "me", they are a perfect reflection of my home and style. She rocks!! The only thing is, no child will ever eat over the babies, oh no, mama will be pulling them off the table before dinner is served. I know this may defeat the purpose, but beauty just can not be comprised by ketchup or spaghetti sauce!
Now....back to all that holiday sewing that I am way behind on.
