Christmas did occur according to my calculations

I have been madly crafting since the beginning of December. It was supposed to be the beginning of October, so there was a certain terrified compulsive quality to the entire enterprise.

I am still crafting. Not everything made it out on time. After I finish crafting I will get to the Christmas cards.

Tiny Bonne Nuit Pillows
As it happens most of my friends either have sleep issues, or do not get enough sleep due to kid-related nocturnal-ness. I made tiny pillows (2 in x 3 in) which wished the recipient bonne nuit.

Mini Pin Cushion
I made this tiny pin cushion for my good friend Shelba who is a sewing buddy. The base of the pincushion is a bottle cap from a bottle of juice. It's tiny! The longhorn represents Texas and the blueberry bush represents New Jersey and the tinyness represents my wish that we lived closer.

Stuffed Eiffel Tower Embellished with Orange Embroidery
This wonky Eiffel Tower looked a lot better before I stuffed it. Once stuffed there's no going back, though.

There was other crafty stuff, but not everything went according to plan and some of it did not get photographed and some of it was not worth photographing.

By the time I finish with Christmas most of you will be decorating for Valentine's Day if you are so inclined. I've accepted this about myself. I sure hope K. has too.
