Alas, our Christmas tree is not up yet. This inspired my to create a whole forest of miniature fabric trees. Not quite the same thing, but very fun, nonetheless. Some of these are for gifts and others will be for sale on in my Artfire shop. 
I love making small gift bags. It can add a unique touch to any gift. A cute reusable bag is almost a gift in and of itself. This particular bag is a variation on my Treasure Bag. I've made it slightly bigger, added a separate casing and made it reversible(for those of us who like options). Of course, something special is going in the bag. You'll just have to wait and see.
I can't believe Christmas has come and gone. The month of December is always so busy, baking, sewing, shopping, etc. I baked/made 10 batches of cookie and candies. There are a few left. My family is always sad when they are gone. Many gifts were made, like the nesting snow folk in the picture. I also designed and made hedgehog earmuffs for my daughter. I'm hoping to post a picture of those soon. As well as all the making and baking there were the parties. One of the most fun was the neighborhood progressive dinner. Appetizers and drinks at one house, main course at another and dessert at our house. Maybe this will become an annual event.
