Twas the Night, my turn

I must say, this is one of the best hops I was ever in.  A BIG HUGE THANK YOU to Madame Samm and Marlene for coming up with this great idea to exchange gifts with other talented quilters.

The gifts we made for each others and those on our Christmas lists, were to be made in 3 hours or less.

First, let me show you what I received from Leah at Quilted Delights.

Everything came in this beautiful bag:

2 little hand "snap" coin purses:

Inside were these mouth watering chocolates:

A cute needle holder,

3 cute scrubbies,

(I seen dishcloths, but these are smaller, and work so much better)

And...my favorite candy, how I'd you know Leah? 

Here are all my wonderful gifts together:  

(Minus the candy...I couldn't help myself)

Thank you sooooo much Leah.

I myself, had a rough month, but I did get a few wallets made:

And a few small wallets for our neices:

I am working on making each of our neices a Christmas Stocking.  (A Santa, a snowman, and an Angel)  (believe it or not I have been working on them for almost 2 weeks, yup, it's been a rough month) 

I did get some pincushions made.  I could hand sew these while sitting in my chair.  

I also want to make each of our neices a doll.  I chose these fabrics.

I made these small dolls the day this hop was announced.  They didn't  turn out quite like what I wanted, so I plan on keeping them for samples.  These were like a test run...now I know just how I want to make them.

Now let's go see what others are sharing this Season.

Before you leave, I want to introduce you to my new tool.  I LOVE IT!!!   That is my "Beam n' Read".  The BEST gift anyone could get.....

I could tell you all about the extra wide personal light from 6 LED's, that DON'T get hot and will not disturb others.

I could tell you how you can switch from 6 LED's to using only 3 LED's and about the adjustible strap.

I could tell you how you can plug it in to household currant (which the cord does not get into your way at all) or use 4 AA batteries (that can last up to 50 hours) and go anywhere with it.  Oh, and how it comes with a large acrylic magnifier and 2 clip on filters for night vision.

BUT....

The best part to me is that with my bad eyes, I can see.  Now, that is what means the most to me!

I now can do any close up work and see.  Whether it be my embroidery or painting.  I can see like I did when I was in my 20's!  All I can say is Thank you Very Much!!!!

Now, come join me and see what others are making for Christmas.     I don't  know about you but I am getting so many ideas as what I can make.  (YEAH!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
