A little update on what this month has been like :)

Once again I have been busy. I enjoy being busy for the most part. But lately it seems I really really have been busy but am enjoying myself.  I still have a lot of projects to get done before Christmas plus still get some shopping done.   Here is more or less a picture view of what I have been up to since the last time I posted. 

The top picture is a pile of about 30+ snowflakes I have made so far to take to church to be hung from the ceiling for our Christmas party that is on Friday.  The next picture is what the snowflakes actually look like. I have posted a tutorial on how to make these very easy snowflakes.  They are made from 6 pieces of computer paper or whatever paper you desire.  They take no time at all to make but really make a nice decoration.

I made a tote like this last month for a friend a church to carry her manuals and scriptures and when my sister and my aunt saw it they each wanted one to give away as a gift.  So I made 2 more just like this over this past weekend.  They are made from 3 placemats.  2 for the tote and then one cut up for the handles and the pocket that is inside. The possibilities are endless on the different types of totes you could make.  I have a snowman one I will be making for myself tomorrow.

My oldest daughter is going to have a baby boy in a little over a month, Jan 22 is her due date.  I made her a car seat cover/blanket this evening.  These are so nice and easy to make and really protects the baby from wind, sun and even strangers from reaching in and touching.  It is lined with flannel so will give some extra warmth. 

We had a baby shower this past Saturday for my daughter and it went very well.  Spent most of the day on Friday cooking the food for the shower and then heading over to church to set the room up for the shower.  I took some pictures of the room and of course her and her ever growing baby bump :)  but my computer is having issues for some reason whenever I put my SD card in from my camera to download the pictures I took.  It won't let me download the pictures without freezing up my computer, UGH!!! will have to have that checked out. 

The Young Women I teach at church wanted to make a Scripture Advent calender for Wednesday night activity this past week.  I cut out 480 felt squares then glued them together, I sewed the 4 pieces of felt for the background and the tabs to hang the calender before hand. We only have an hour and half to get a project done so I needed to get as much done as possible for the girls to be able to go home with a finished project.  The girls that came that night had a good time putting these together. They really seemed to enjoy themselves and I think the calenders turned out great.  This coming up Wednesday night we are frosting and decorating cookies for the Christmas Party on Friday. We really have a great and beautiful bunch of Young Women at church. They are always willing to help in whatever we ask them.  I love working with these girls.

Well that is pretty much it for what I have been up to since my last post.  When I get the rest of my sewing/crafting done I will again post.  I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday season.
