Nostalgic Noel - Nativity Silhouette

I have yet another fun Christmas project to share with you today and as a part of Jo-Ann Fabrics' Holiday Make it - Give it Sweepstakes you'll have a chance to win a $100 Jo-Ann gift card!  I'll get into the sweepstakes details below, but first I'm so excited to share a little Nostalgic Noel.  Jo-Ann Fabrics has compensated for this post, but as always all opinions are my own.

Another Giving Christmas

My friend Karly from Paisley Roots has a series called A Giving Christmas in which I participated last year.  I was really excited to hear she was doing it again this year and quickly jumped on board.  This is a good time of year to remind our kids (and ourselves) about the spirit of giving.

All The Trimmings - Michael Miller

There's nothing more fun to sew with than Christmas fabrics and Michael Miller's All the Trimmings line is no exception.  Here's a tutorial for making your own Christmas Tree Trivet which is a perfect project for using those holiday fabrics.  Michael Miller sent me the fabric for this post, but as always ALL opinions are mine.

Ruffled PJs and Nutta Fabric

Today I have two different tours to tell you about and I couldn't be more excited about sharing them with you.  When I was first approached I didn't realize the days were the same, but what a happy mistake; the two pair perfectly.  They are the Nutta Fabric Shop Tour and the Ruffled PJs Holiday Tour.  Let's start with the fabric.... cause everything starts with the fabric, right? hehe.

Riley's Nightgown

Bean is growing out of her pajamas so quickly lately, that I'm in need of an assembly-line style replenish day.  In the meantime, I have a couple of holiday pajama tours to tell you about this week and first up is Riley's Nightgown and Sleepshirt from EYMM patterns.

Needle Organizer Pincushion - Holiday Blogger Challenge

When Deanna from Sew McCool came up with her 12 Days of Christmas Holiday Blogger Challenge I knew exactly what I would make.  It's her blog anniversary and she's gathered a bunch of us bloggers to celebrate with a challenge.  We are to post a tutorial or holiday-related craft on our designated day between the 1st and 12th of December.  At the end of the challenge there will be a chance to vote for your favorite and the winner will win $100!  And with that challenge, an idea I've had in my head for almost a year is finally realized.
