Christmas Gift Idea

December 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment
It’s my favorite time of year at Bath & Body Works!  Time for Twisted Peppermint everything!  I decided these yummy soaps would make cute gifts for people in hubby’s office and people at school.  So, I bought every soap they had (more than pictured here….yes, I am crazy!)

Then I bought these white dishcloths and sewed peppermint fabric and red ric rac on the bottom.  Super cute!

 I put them in cellophane bags and tied with a ribbon.  I would love to get this gift from someone – and I hope the recipients enjoy theirs!

Alpine Wonderland in the Making

December 5, 2012 by 2 Comments
I’m working on a quilt!  My friend and I decided instead of giving a Christmas gift to each other we would have a sewing day.  So we each ordered fabric from the Riley Blake Alpine Wonderland line, found a pattern, cut it all out & started sewing together.  So much fun!!!

 I found the pattern in Better Homes & Garden’s Quilts & More Winter 2010.  I like our fabrics better than the ones pictured 🙂
 It’s always fun to lay it out and try and figure out where all the colors should go.

 Here it is all pieced together.  Now I have to figure out what I want on the back.  I LOVE this pattern.  It is so much fun!

Best Cat Toy Ever!!

 While we were re-doing our bathroom I came across the perfect cat toy.  The toilet bolt caps!!  Marbles kept stealing them and batting them all over the house.  He would pick them up in his mouth and carry them everywhere.  I ended up going back to Lowe’s and buying him his own to play with.  
You can find them in the toilet “fix-it” section at the home improvement store for around $2.  Perfect stocking stuffers for your cat!!
