The week between Christmas and New Year's is always so strange, and I loose track of what day it is. I'm pretty sure it's Thursday, and I probably have things to do, but I don't HAVE to do them today...I'm still on vacation and pretty much just wasting the days reading and catching up on shows...but I'm starting to get the urge to make things again, and I really should work on cleaning and organizing before I have to go back to the day job next week...

| A few fun things I stitched up this week |
I didn't expect to have time to test this fun gift bag, but I managed to squeeze one in over the weekend! The new Boot Gift Bag from ChrisW Designs is super fast and fun! The pattern comes in 3 sizes: Small, Medium, Large. I made the medium one and it's pretty roomy!

I survived the final market show, and made it through my day job trip, so now I can do whatever I want! (after finishing a few little things) I'm really hoping to have the time and motivation to do a deep dive into my stash and purge out a bunch of things I no longer love, finish up a bunch of UFO's that have been on the list for YEARS, and do the same for other parts of the house. Or, I'll plan to do all those, make lists, and then spend the next 2 weeks reading books, with some Christmas stuff thrown in. I should probably buy the kids presents...soon.

| Still my most favorite Christmas ornament of all time! |
This adorable doll fabric from Backstitch made a totally cute little crossbody bag! The Essential Cross Body bag from Sewn Ideas is a pretty quick project, but it does take some patience to get all the curves and gussets done nicely.
