    I do popcorn tossed with the red mix that you use for candied apples. make according to directions. Because that sugar is VERY hot I Put the popped corn on my cookie sheets and dribble it on with a spoon.......oh yeah what about making those chocolate covered apples you see in catalogs. they can be dipped several time and decorated with nuts, sprinkles, ch.chips.....drizzled with white choac. wrapped with cellophane, nice bow etc. (check out Mrs. Prindables dipped choc. apple)

    saw those ormaments and thought to make cushions for the sports fan with fleece sports print the the handle for the guys to take to the games they go to....maybe even a small throw for the cold weather, just with a stitched edge. and a pocket on the back of the cushion

    Thank you hoppyfrog for the great potholder tutorial website.

    I have a friend who make coasters the same way using 4" squares. She puts pieces of flexible plastic inside after turning inside out. That keeps the wetness from seeping through fabric to the table.

Unfortunately, I have given them all away, but I will ask my mother to dig out the one I gave her so I can post a picture. Any Christmas inspired quilt block would do (Christmas trees, wreaths, Santa, etc.) and they can be put together very quickly, usually in just a couple of hours once you have all your materials together.
    I finally got a picture of the sweatshirt. I've also done a paper-pieced Christmas tree block with cute buttons as ornaments.

    I know what you are going through. I have Fibromyalgia and I am going through a bad time now. I have 5 more weeks to work and trying to make it through without taking any time off.
