    Below are some of the gifts I made for family members for Christmas. There were lots of pot holders! I got on a roll with those...like a production line. They all have the insul-brite in the middle, along with the cotton batting and were all serged. They were almost as quick as the pillow cases. There were almost a dozen shirts that I embroidered. It was one of those, "Can you just do something quick .. you know, not bigger than this, and then with this, and maybe that." and then he said, well I'll just put together a sample .... and after a year, I got tired of waiting and just designed and stitched them out.
    Thanks for looking ... maybe you'll get a little inspiration for next year.

    p.s. the cake was completely edible, it was just a little surprise for the newly engaged couple.

    Super cool awesome football table runner!!!
    Oh the Christmas tree is neat too! I should make one for my mom as she doesn't seem to want to mess with a 'normal' tree any more!
