A version of a craft that I made a couple years back....crafts have come a long way haven't they. This is one of my favorite sayings!!! I made these as Christmas gifts for some dear women in my life.
I wanted (needed) a place to keep track of all my little crafty projects..I do go back and use some of them over and over. So - why not a blog where I can also share them with you!

Pillowcases
This might have proven to be a slightly crazy idea - but FUN!!!I think I ended up making abot 20-25 pillowcases. I think picking out the fabric was half the FUN!!! We made these for our YW for Christmas and gave it to them along with this scripture:yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God…...…” Alma 37:37
There are lots of free tutorials available online..just google it!!
I think these would be great gift ideas for my kids to make for their friends.

Primary Teacher Gifts
I always have a hard time deciding what to get for Primary teachers. I want to do something to thank them and let them know that I appreciate what they do for my kids - BUT money is also tight around Christmas and what do you get for a Primary Teacher.

Hailey drew a pic of her sitting in class raising her hand.
I have made some of these for birthdays and thought - why not use them for Christmas?? Have you tried Warm Delights? If not, you should!! They are really yummy. I used a legal size of paper and designed a wrap to fit around the Warm Delight and then had each of my kids draw or write a note to their teacher.

My First Attempt At Skirts
I've had this idea for years about making a skirt using the rag quilt technique. I FINALLY got around to making one. I bought some cheap material and made the green and red skirts.
I used wonder-under to apply the material onto the shirts. It's available at all fabric stores and truly is a WONDER!! I have also used it to apply fabric cutouts onto wood.
S0, after making my "trial" skirts - I found some cute Christmas material and made some Christmas skirts. I also made a tie for Chance.
