Hi ladies, I wanted to say thank you for all the little sewing projects through November. I love love love them. – Briana in AK
Yeah Erica! I adore Erica and all of her creations. I’ve got to make that little apron ornament tomorrow. Thanks for posting the idea!
I love the apron ornament. Thanks for all the great links, I look forward to your posts every day lately! Thanks so much.
I like the colors in the bath mat above. I don’t think my fabric scrap pile is big enough yet to make one.
I have finished one project and now I’m moving on to two more. At the very least. Yay~ Thanks so much for all the inspiration.
love the pear sachets! great idea and so cute!!!
Those apron ornaments are too cute!
I love those apron tree ornaments! Can my tree cope with just a couple more ornaments? I guess I’ll find out once I make up a couple of those little cuties.
already have the bath mat bookmarked to try for my new apartment and love the pears…will have to try that one too!
such lovely inspiration all over this blog!!! hooray for handmade! and crafty mamas.
I love the pears.
love the apron ornament idea will be making these as gift tags for the baking/apron sets I’m giving at Christmas.
thanks again for inspirational ideas you guys rock!!!
All the beautiful projects have my mind buzzing!! I think I am going to have to keep going after Christmas and just put things away for coming birthdays/holidays etc!! The links you have provided have been so excellent for trying have at least 95% of our gifts handmade!! THank you so much.
Hi, I just found your blog through Wee Wonderfuls and I must say, I am inspired! Love the little mat, but have never done any patchwork stuff before…looks like a great project for a snowy day this winter! Thanks!
Once again, you gals bring us a post full of inspiration and treats for us!
I enjoyed Laura’s blog!
That baby apron is the sweetest! I’ll be making some of those in the near future.
I am sooo excited to have discovered this blog. I’m a bit late for starting many of these projects for THIS year, but you can be sure I’m starting December 27 for next Christmas. I’ve managed to pull off some handmade felt ornaments, many appliqued shirts, appliqued hand stitched cloth napkins, handstitched tea-towels, and my usual baking/canning/candy making. I went to a great craft show on Sat and walked around saying “I think I could try and make that!” while admiring all the lovely things. This is the first time I’ve managed to make things that look nice so I’m waaaaay thrilled to have discovered this blog with so many links to tutorials! Wheeeeee!!
How do you keep finding such great, inspiring ideas? I thought November was great, but it looks like you might just be out doing yourselves!
Oh, ya’ll are going to keep me in craft projects until Next Christmas! Every day I notice something else that is *just perfect* for a friend or member of my family. So much cuteness, so little time–

I love the apron ornaments! I’m making aprons as gifts this Christmas and these would make perfect tags doubling as an extra gift! Very clever!
Oh, that apron is so cute!! I have actually made some of those pears, and they are so easy and really really cute!!
Love the apron ornament – soft, nonbreakable ornaments are needed with my little ones.
I am so glad to see more great posts. I was sad to see November end after all the great ideas and new blogs you shared. Now, I’m not sad any more.
Loved the Linen Pear Sachet
What cute ideas! I’m making some of these in my mind because I have to do that work thing which interferes so much with my play time. I can’t wait! Denny
I really like that apron ornament
I am so happy that there are more tutorials!! I have so many things to make!!
The Apron Ornament is fabulous! A perfect last add-in for a friend’s Christmas gift bag. Thanks for sharing this tutorial!
Off to sew some tiny aprons.
WoW! The fun continues! I am so excited! Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas!
It’s my first year of blogging during Holiday Seasons and it’s so much fun. Thanks you again for all the wonderful links and ideas!
I keep thinking about making a bath mat, but I’m worried about it slipping around.
But I see this one looks like it’s backed with Terry cloth. Does that work?
I have a ceramic tile bathroom so it gets pretty slippery in there with all the water.
Those apron ornaments are DARLING! What a cute idea!!!
Now this is an apron I can make….too sweet!
I just can’t get enough!
Sew many beautiful things to make!
Shriek! I love the little tiny pears! Perfect stocking stuffers–you could even use a holiday potpourri.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the ornament!!!!!!! That Rocks!
The apron ornament is the sweetest thing. I’m off to make one now!
ooooo Pear Sachets! Fruit Sachets! a whole new world of sachet-shapes – yeah!!!
Hey, I would really like a pattern of a dachshund-shaped door draft stopper. Anyone got one?
I love love love the apron ornament! What a great thing to make to send with treats.
the pears are so sweet! (hee hee)
I’m so thankful that Christmas is at the end of December because it allows more time to make gifts! I keep adding more gift ideas to my list every time I visit this blog.

I love the sweet apron ornaments! I’ve loved all the wonderful ideas and projects that have been posted.
I recently found this site. It is so much fun!! I love the project ideas.
you guys are the best!
I’ve been busy… um… procrastinating. I’m hiding my head in shame at the sight of all this crafting (I did make a pear pincushion, but then couldn’t bring myself to put pins in it). I’ve got a list of things to make for my kid’s Christmas presents. So why am I looking at blogs??? You’re just a bad influence – you lure me here with great ideas, then leave me with no time to use them!
I love the little apron ornament!! I also want to say thank you for linking us up with all the generous creative people out in the web. I am having so much fun sewing up so many ideas.
These are all such wonderful ideas!! Thanks so much for your site, it has made my month
The mini-apron is soooo cute! Now I’m imagining a mini hot mitt.
i am waiting to receive a shipment of lavender to fill all the sachets that i have been making for the past week. will post soon

After following all of your posts throughout November, I have so many things I would like to craft…but so little time to do so:( Do you think it would be ok to phone in sick to work with a fever? That is….a craftaholic fever;)
Thanks for all the great inspiration and keep on the giving the crafty bug;)

What a cute little apron ornament. Thanks! We do a kitchen tree and I’ll try to get one made for it.
I have enjoyed all these gift ideas. JudyH
Thank you so much for including me with all these talented crafters! I have to say, I’m a bit embarrassed, though, at the state of my blog; so, I apologize to anyone who stops by there! My pictures somehow all changed size, but I’ll fix it as soon as I can.
I also agree that the apron and pear are adorable and will be thinking of someone to make them for very soon!
OK, now I’ve got to make some of those apron ornaments for my cookie making day friends! They are SOOOO cute! Em
