Christmas DIY's for 2018

Hi everyone, I sincerely hope you are experiencing a very happy New Year and that the year continues to unfold as happy and healthy.
Today, I am simply sharing some of my DIY projects for Christmas 2018.  There are not as many as other years as I had some surgery earlier in December that really got in my DIY way. I hate when that happens!

I am happy to report I am well and back on track and hoping to make up for lost time. Creativity is such a happy place for me, I am always happy when making.  So to sum up Christmas DIY of 2018, there was some ceramics, some felt work, some EPP (English Paper Piecing), a wee bit of sewing (rag rug) and some baking (cookies, cookies and more cookies). 

The photos below show my Christmas 2018 DIY projects:

I made 2 of these little ceramic t-light Christmas trees at Crockadoodle this year . One for Katie and one for Mallory

Rag rug placemat for my mother (for her coffee maker)

We had a wonderful Christmas with lots of family visiting (23 on Christmas day) and the highlight...... not to take away from visits with all my family and friends however..... we had a wonderful time with our grandson shown below.  He smiles all the time and truly brought sunshine into our home.  Children are so much fun at Christmas after all!
