Lace ornaments
this cross is a bible bookmark, there is a loop on top for adding ribbons. I do not know if this ornament is a snow flake or a christmas star, but it is beautiful anyway, I made some red and white ones to hang on the window with clear hooks.
**candy cane ornaments**
or how about a lizzard climbing down a candy cane, my boys liked this one
this polar bear is great and can be very easily changed by using a different color for the scarf
I'm making lots of these for family and friends.

I made this box to fit a small candle I want to give as a present. it is 3 inches square on top and 3 inches deep, I cut the paper
9x9 inches and scored each side 3 inches from the edge, then it looked somewhat
like a tic tac toe board. I cut every other line from the edge and overlaped them to make a
box. The middle of the top is 1/8 inch wider , to fit better over the box.

Big sister gift
the front is made of cardstock I used a long piece and folded it up to make a pocket , punched the edge, glued the sides shut and reinforced the sides with an eyelet.
for the coloring pages I printed some baby coloring pages, that are available for free from the intetnet, sized them to about 4x 5 inches and printed them on white cardsrock.
I punched a hole in the top left corner of the coloring pages and added a book ring to attach them to the front of the coloring book, just add caryons and you are done,
this would also be a geat stocking stuffer for little kids or a party favor for birthday parties....
the possibilities are endless :)

Fast gift idea
This is a great gift idea and so easy to make, this is a simple white kitchen towel I bought at Target, I love using these, because they have visible lines in the fabric so it is a lot easier to center the embroidery design. I embroidred the chicken, added somd robbin for trim, added a hanger and a tag. If you do not have an embroidery machine, these towlels look great just by adding some fabric ad trim.
Hope you have a great weekend

I sewed lots more bunny bags for friends and family. Otherwise it was school, sports and a broken arm we have to deal with. My oldest son broke his right arm playing basket ball. I can only tell you...bad timing.. he has lots of tests in the end of the year. Well we have about 3 more weeks to go.
I have started a new project, I bought this cute design for a ITH coin valet from http://www.picklepiedesigns.com
, it is adorable and very easy to make (once you understand the instructions).
I tried it a few times and I'm hooked.
