Just a quick note this morning to share a few fun things I've seen lately in case anyone else wants to get in on the action...
I know everyone is busy with holiday sewing and general end-of-the-year craziness, but if you are looking for a couple simple swaps, here you go:
Lindsay of Lindsay Sews and Craft Buds is organizing a Holiday Ornament Swap, and has even broken it down into categories of "Simple" and "Fancy" so you can commit to swapping the type of ornament that fits your taste/time commitment. She has some seriously cute mosaics on her site. I never buy Christmas ornaments, so I am totally in for this. And honestly, some of the "Simple" ornaments are the ones that I like the most, and she estimates 30 minutes for constructing a simple ornament. Sounds do-able, right?

If you need some inspiration or help with your holiday crafting, check out Echinops & Aster's Holiday How-to Series. Jenelle is sharing tutorials for Holiday crafting over the next few weeks and even has a giveaway going on right now. Look at the super cute ornament pattern she shared during Week 1:

And finally, Rachael at Imagine Gnats shared this fun swap with me...The ladies of Crafterhours are hosting a second round of their Spoonflower I-Spy charm swap. I vaguely remember seeing this the first time around and being totally jealous that I hadn't been a part of it. Not anymore...Remember those I-Spy placemats I've been wanting to make? Let me refresh your memory...

So there you go...A few things to think about on this beautiful Tuesday.
Have a great day!
Those are awesome. I'm loving felt ornaments this year-so much that I'm keeping the ones I made for the craft show for myself! Can't wait to see what you make.
