Christmas Projects - Part 2







So here are the cloth grocery bags I made for the adults... 
(pictured are 4 of the 7 bags with 4 of the 5 patterns)

They aren't all that snazzy - but I was honestly pleased with how they turned out...

Christmas Projects

Since I really should have everything finished by tomorrow (our first 2 christmas celebrations are tomorrow), I thought I'd share my projects.  I'll post more pictures later, too (I think).

First - little jars of "crunchy clean" with name label and directions labels i made and attached... dear husband filled all of the jars.  We are giving a total of 8 eco-bags to various family members.  The eco-bags are cloth bags I made filled with 2 jars of crunchy clean (scents: monkey farts and reindeer poo), an empty spray bottle with vinegar and water solution instructions written on it, 2 microfiber towels, and a jar of homemade applesauce (apples from mom's farm).

Next - the felt obsession.  I have been making two sets of "groceries" in a "cloth grocery bag" for my two little cousins.  I made them each: a set of 6 eggs, a breakfast of bacon toast and eggs, and a pizza.  (I still want to make bow tie pasta, pop tarts, and tortellini.  but alas i ran out of time to finish it all by christmas.)

de-grinch-i-fy

these last two posts make me sound rather grinchy.
i'm not.

in fact i'm loving this particular holiday season...
i love the fact that i made all those cookies...
and i'm proud of the fact that i've made a lot of gifts for friends and family this year.
and i love our tree and our outside house lights...
and it smells delish in here with my christmas candles all alight!

sick.of.making.cookies

i actually only made 28 dozen cookies this weekend...

24 dozen are tiny 1 inch tall butter cookies...
plus there are 4 dozen chewy chocolate chip...
and then 4 dozen chocolate fudge coookie bites...
