It's that time of the year again when I am finally finished with classes, long arm quilting, trunk shows and writing to attempt some of my own Christmas preparations. 
By no means am I complaining the "quilting" world has been excellent to me in 2019. Thanks to all who have booked me to teach or do trunk shows and to those  with whom I have had the privilege to quilt their quilts.  Also, Thanks to QUILTsocial who has hired me to write their blog posts x 4 weeks this year.  I say it all the time, I love my job and it does not feel like a job.
I just wanted to share what I have been up to for fun this time.  It is not all quilting related but it is definitely crafty/cooking/quilting prep for the Christmas season.  See my photos below:

I made the above wreath out of loop it yarn and $store brush trees, so easy! 5 minutes to make seriously, maybe I will post a tutorial later???

We made some gingerbread houses for upcoming Christmas decor and just for fun. Can you tell by the look on my crazy husbands face and the smile on mine that this was an absolute hoot.  Everybody else's gingerbread house stood up tall and mine is so crooked and goofy looking!  I'd say it probably matches my personality.  But never mind, we had so many laughs.

I have made 3 sets of the above double ended oven mitts for add ons to gifts as I absolutely love mine.  The free download for the pattern is available here.

I always joke in my Free Motion Class that practise makes perfect and that students should be giving everyone a pot holder for Christmas so that they can practise their free motion stitches.  I was not kidding :) the above is one of mine.  Practising meandering/warming up my fingers. For the above pot holder as you can see I just used a 10 x 10 square from a gorgeous Christmas panel that I had.

That's all for now I am sure I will be getting into more crafty trouble before Christmas get's here and will share ideas as time goes on.
Until then, stop and listen to the music, enjoy the season and just breath. 🎄

 I will post pictures of the finished quilts once I get my hands on them!
