I hope this helps :)
They are cute. I printed it out a long time ago, thinking I would make it for a friend and I never did. I might this year though...
It looks like you will have to copy and paste the entire url. It has a no follow in there to break the link but if you copy and paste it you can get it to show up. I double checked after I saw it was broken.

I also use mine to heat rolls and other pastries. Only a few seconds and it is just as though it just came out of the oven.
Also making ornaments and the fabric paper do;;s and sewing vests from UFOs. Got to start now especially sine my DD is looking for tree skirt and placemats and napkins.

Placemats or tablerunners. I have a pattern for the runner that's a quilt as you go, so it goes together really fast and it's also reversible. I made the first one for me so I have summer fruit on one side and fall fabric prints on the other. I've plans for Christmas on one side and summer on the other or whatever combo I want to do. Placemats could be done this same way, just make a rectangle instead of the other shape for the runner - pointed on both ends.

The pattern is called "Reversible Table Runner Too" designed by Karen Montgomery for The Quilt Company. You basically cut your fabric and batting into 3 1/2" wide strips. As you assemble and sew, you're doing both sides at the same time, then flip the new strips over to add on the next strip and machine stitch a couple rows down the length of the strip you just sewed on to quilt it. It goes fairly quickly and before you know it, it's time to put the binding on.

I make fabric covered nested boxes. Stack them all up w/presents inside and tie a big bow on top. You can make the boxes or I buy mine fairly cheap at B Howell in Portland. Some are Christmas tree shaped, round, square or fancy...all make striking presentation. There's a few on my blog: http://lyndaswhoknew.blogspot.com/se...max-results=11
