At my blog
mavmamadotblogspotdotcom
I have posted pictures of a few Christmas presents I have finished this last week or so. My goal is to have all of my presents made/bought by November 1st, so we can take them when we travel back to Iowa early in the month. Also, I really, really want this to be the year that I succeed with having December freed up to make memories and fun with the kids instead of shopping.

What are you making?

Oh Liz - those look great!! I would love to know if you made up that Advent calendar or if you had a pattern and would share where you got it.

So sad, I haven't even thought about what we'll make this year!!! You have inspired me to get busy . . . if I could just get finished canning up the garden.

Thanks for sharing
Margot

The purse pattern (the wild one) is from Lazy Girl Patterns- I think it is th Towne Purse.

The Advent calendar was a "cheater" panel. Pre-printed, and then just cut and quilted. The little ornaments were fused to felt, then cut out. I bought it in Iowa last year, and didn't get it finished, so really, while it looks early this year, it's actually 11 months late LOL!

Mary, thanks for linking--I just CANNOT get that!
