Happy December!

Do you have snow? Ice? Rain?  
We have had mornings of 'ice fog', which translates to 'stay home and sew' to me! :-)
With just three weeks to go, I need to buckle in behind my machine and get busy!

Today was playing with mini's~
It started today with block one~
 

~a mini friendship star block.  
I have been moving this mini charm pack from one side of my table to the other and decided to cut into it to make the first mini block.  I hope all the blocks will use pieces 2.5" or smaller, but if not, this will make a cute little pincushion or ornament! LOL 

Since I was still feeling mini :-)  I made a mini tote~

~it measures about 4 inches square and has a zipper at top.  Just big enough to tuck in a little Christmas candy. ;-)  I didn't have a pattern for this, just an idea.  I may have to make a few more! LOL

I hope you are well into your Christmas sewing~ or are you finished? I tend to burn that candle from both ends until the last minute!

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Are you going to do all your Temecula blocks in blue and white?

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
