Right Around the Corner

I am in the middle of a sewing frenzy. This frenzy was brought on by the realization that CHRISTMAS is only 4.5 months away. So, I made a list, checked it twice and dusted off the sewing machine. I have gifts and decorations that I would love to get done. Sometime. Before next Christmas. Here are a couple I got done this week.

First on my list was the tree skirt that I started in January. The one my kind friend helped me with and counseled me to go home and finish right away or it would never get done. Yeah, she was right. So, eight months later, I finished the skirt. Jason got a little confused and thought it was a festive shawl.
I can only hope it looks this good around the tree.
Second, I am making bean bags for my niece and nephews this year - these aren't stuffed yet, but I am pretty happy with how the boy ones turned out. The colors are great on Tucker's. Cale's are harder to make out, but Jason pointed out that they are camo so it is supposed to be hard to read his name. Hopefully this frenzy will last.
