Not yet ready for Christmas

..but i sure wanted to get started making things for christmas right away! I ordered this book a few days ago via Amazon and it arrived today! I love all of Tilda's fabrics and i sure need some inspiration on what to make for christmas so when hubby ordered his cartridges for the printer, I told him to add this book to the shopping cart too :p


and i also have another book i want to buy too! the Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle but was too late as hubby already paid it, so it'll have to wait for next month i guess.

I have a few things I wanted to make from this book such as christmas tree ornaments and the lovely stockings, i think those are going to be my next projects, I just need the fabrics to make them. Here are some of the pages i snapped while browsing quickly before posting this :)


I'm doing as fast as i can to finish my other projects before starting my Christmas projects, managed to finish this cute cross stitch card from a free kit i got when i bought a cross stitcher magazine many months back.

  2. Susan the books are wonderful, and I like especially that you placed your homemade hearts on the cover of Tilda's book...they look like they are part of the cover and fit right in.

    I can't wait to see all the lovelies you are going to make. I would love to have the time to do some crafty projects. I want to order something from your shop at some point. I'm waiting for my paypal account to increase. Hee, hee.

    A cross stitch card! What a delightful idea!

    Blessings,

  3. Susan, you always have so much motivation and energy to finish your projects - it always leaves me inspired!! I have the Tilda 'Summer Ideas' book and really liked it - so glad you shared the inside of the 'Christmas Ideas' one as I was to-ing and fro-ing over whether to buy it and now I'm sure I'd like it! :-)

    I tend to get my birthday in October out of the way, then Bonfire Night (I love Bonfire night more than any 25 year old girl should!) and then I start the Christmas prep. Very excited about this year! Can't wait to see what you whip up!

  4. As I am looking through your post, I start getting this cheery feeling! Christmas is my favorite time of year and I haven't even had time to think about it. Now is the time to set aside time to get THINGS READY! What a delightful book you have chosen and I know that you will make some wonderful things! I can't wait to see them.
    Blessings to you always,
    Brenda

  5. I love craft books, and I love Christmas so it's a win-win situation! I just won a lovely Country Living Christmas ideas book from Annie at the Felt Fairy so I'm planning to settle down with that soon.

    I've started on my Christmas decorations already - is it too soon for a post? You know I don't do that many tutorials but I'm quite pleased with these!

  7. oOhh ahh..that book looks like it has some super cute projects in it! I like the stocking..very girlie! The little snowman on the cake stands, are just too adorable. I can't wait to see what you have made :)
    I have already started making pom pom garland for my Christmas tree this year..thought best start it early, so I give myself enough time to finish it.
    Happy Crafting!!
