Yay! I’m so looking forward to this month. Great book reference at the end of the post. I’m just starting to like “stitching” as my daughter calls it. We’re learning it together. Quite fun!
Hmm I love the deocrations but guess what caught my eye, mmm fudge but maybe I’m just hungry…
Ohhh that embroidery book looks wonderful. I’d also like to give a hand at making the fabric flowers and I know my husband would be up for the fudge…and he wouldn’t want to wait til Christmas to get it!
The fudge looks amazing!! I’ve added it in my favourites to bake
That tea light holder is adorable!! I want one for me!
What a great assortment – holidayish but not too much so. Love that yarn wreath, what a neat idea!
Very exciting! Looking forward to each day!
Okay, maybe this is my chance. Lovely looking book, Believe me, my shower curtain can use some “cheeky fan dancers”! Thanks for the opportunity.
So cute…love it!
I can’t wait to try the fudge! Thanks for the great ideas!

I love the classic fudge but i cannot eat sugar so …………..not for me……..Why aren’t there such recepies without sugar!!!!!!!!!!!
That book is going on my Christmas list – it looks fab!
Wow. Just what I need to develop my skills.
What great ideas!!! I would love to get any of these as gifts, Christmas or otherwise.
Such great ideas. I certainly like the way to decorate a flower vase, and also the flowers.

That tealight holder is sublime!
I just love Kootoyoo’s tealight holder – wouldn’t a mantle full of holiday-themed holders look lovely?
Mm, excited about that fudge recipe…
All super great ideas. Too bad my house is too much of a mess for any of it to actually stand out! (And with the hurriedness of the Holidays coming up, I don’t see it getting any less cluttered anytime soon!)
I really like these ideas…especially the vase from the recycled soda bottle.
How delicate and beautiful the bird mobile is!
I can see that this Handmade Holidays thing is going to be very addictive!

I would LOVE this new sublime stitching book. I’m embroidering a stack of dishtowels for my sisters stock stuffer. Would love some new inspiration!
Yea day 2! Love that yarn wreath.
It’s getting colder here, and the holidays suddenly seem right around the corner. The perfect time of year to nest, adorn, and enjoy the comforts of home (a crafting:).
I loved the Birds of Paradise mobile, but must admit I’m more likely to make and enjoy the classic fudge. Something about fall’s nip in the air goes with a fresh batch of fudge.
love love love the wreath by KnockKnocking! its beautiful!
I adore the stenciled flower vase.

More great ideas! Thank you.
Those fabric flowers are adorable! I can’t believe I missed those last month. the yarn wreath is probably my favorite out of all of these though, Agnes is VERY talented!

I have started Christmas sewing back in July. You can never start too early when it come to Christmas. I love the idea of the fabric flowers. I might just have to make some for my home.
the only thing standing between me and that fudge recipe is my love of Jenny Hart — who wouldn’t love to have Embroidered Effects in her library???
The fabric flowers are awesome and Agnes’ wreath is just too cute!
That vintage recycled holiday garland has my name written all over it! Now to find the time!

Beautilful ideas! And I love the bird mobile, just adorable!
ive seen so much lovely embroidery in blogland lately, would love a book of my own to get started.
I can’t wait to see all the tutorials for this year. I always can’t wait for the end of the year for handmade holidays. I love the pie in the jar idea from yesterday. I couldn’t believe those pink feathers were from print outs, they look soo real for paper print out!!
I actually ‘oohed’ out loud when I saw that yarn wreath. Beautiful.
I’m feeling quite pleased with myself, since I’ve already used that great fabric flowers tutorial to make a brooch for a friend’s Christmas present!
I have to say, the fudge looked best today (but I also do choose food first)!
Love it! and love when my daughter and I can do this together!
Great ideas! I want to leave work now and start on these projects.

I love handmade for the holidays!
I have those flowers bookmarked. Someday when I get time I’ll make a bouquet.
I found Sublime Stitching patterns a while ago and scooped up the Sewing/Craft transfer set. This book looks great – I love the humor that’s embedded in the designs.
This may be the first year that I’m actually excited about holiday crafting! Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll procrastinate any less…
Sweet stuff!
I am dying over those yarn wreaths! LOVE!!
Such good ideas – I love that bird mobile.
I love the cards, so cute! I am headed to print a couple.
