Here are a few projects from Christmas' past.
The poinsettia felted wool pincushion was a gift from a sewing buddy.
This tree was my fabric rendition of a paper foldout made by my daughter, Amy in first grade. I traced around it onto the green fabric, and placed the decorations where she had. Her ornaments were of paper, and her garland was drawn on. I embroidered the garland, and used buttons and little fabric berries.
Poor Frosty hasn't found a home here for the past few years. I just get him out and look at him!
I've made a bit of progress on my Irish Chain, but not much!

The pincushion is so cute. And what a clever idea for your daughter's artwork to be immortalized--sort of.
Frosty can come live with me anytime!
Blue and brown are a favorite combo of mine--beautiful in that Irish chain!
so nice to remember Christmases past with projects
Fun holiday projects...like the Irish Chain. I've been thinking of making one for nephew.
Wonderful projects but I have always been partial to snowmen!!
what a cute pin cushion!
I love your Christmas tree hanging and the irish chain looks great!
Thanks for the Christmas cheer! The tree is sweet - what a great pattern resource idea. I too have some decorations that don't always have a home out each year, but I like to visit with them annually.
Sweet pin cushion too.
Happy Holidays!!
Merry Christmas. The poor frosty with no home (as of yet) is adorable. The colors on your Irish Chain are very pretty.Thanks for another great year of blogging. I really enjoy reading your blog. Looking forward to what you create in 2012.
It seems that every Christmas, you are working on something wonderful, including this year. I love that Irish Chain.
Oooh, I love the colors of that Irish Chain!
I made a snowman from that calendar pattern, too, and just hung it up yesterday. He's so cute.
