Sounds like fun. Sent PM.

That would be cool. I've been working on mine too. I have 2 done but not quite so happy with them. So back to the drawing board. My daughters just shake there heads and walk away. LOL

That angel is beautiful! I love angels and buttons! Ok, I'm convinced. I'll send a PM so I can join the fun!

Just sent a PM to join. Already in the Secret Santa Swap, now this. Should be an interesting October in my sewing room!!!! Can't wait!!

Oh, goodie! I am in the Secret Santa too. Nothing like getting in the Christmas Spirit before Halloween, like all the stores do!

WOW..Im in Secret Santa!! This has me inspired to also get Christmas gifts made for the family too!! Still can't decide on ornaments..SO many to choose from...

Tell me about it. Was in Wally World the other day and they have Christmas trees up already - really....really....we're barely into fall. I haven't even broke out the leaf blower yet. What happen to the days of having Thanksgiving dinner and going to the Mall the next day to find out Christmas hit while we were sleeping off turkey? Might as well leave it up all year round if they're gonna wear it out before it gets here. Oh well....I still love all the fall/winter holidays!!!!!!

Ronda that angel is awesome!!

Awesome angel.

I don't put a tree up anymore because I have 4 furkids who would
love to tear it apart. One of them would lay claim to EVERY ornament
as his own personal toy.

But I will hang them up on my doll quilt walls.

SEW sorry about that...add
rwquilts to our growing list!!

WAIT!!!! Yes you are on my first list...put you down as Ronda instead of RWQUILTS:shock:;)....it's been a crazy few days!!

The list on this page is the SECOND list of names posted with new sign ups...there is also a list on page 7...should have worded second list as Added people instead of updated.....

Whew, glad you cleared that up Brenda. I was worried that you dropped me off the list. :(

I thought the same then reality set in, she just did not want to type it up again even tho cut and paste works. We will let her off the hook this time. October is going to be a fun crafty month for sure.

Yes, i foud outi waz on list one.i have a bad habit, actually i ha e a bad caseof add, so i forget alot, and i will pm the hostess of whatever swap i in ten times. Thank you for bearing with me again.

Working on my 2, had a million ideas going through my head and finally decided, well I think. Just will give a little hint that it's not the typical tree ornament, but hope whomever gets them they will be happy :)

My problem is that I have so many ornaments that can be made on the embroidery machine, plus all the little hand-made ones I used to make. Hmmmmmmmm.......Decisions, decisions.......

I signed up for one ornament too brenda!

i want in found a cute pattern and can have them made this week; put me down for 2 miss brenda ,pm ing you now

Red Garnet~you're on the first list on page 7!

I sent a PM last Friday to add me for 2. This should be fun!!

Soooo.... finally decided on what im making. Made it last. Came out beautiful.
I hope youll like it.

Yes yes.. I demand pics :) I already know what I plan to make but it doesn't mean I dont' want inspiration.. C'mooonnn.. pics pics pics.. Pics or it's a lie... :D Still waiting on the supplies I ordered to get here so I can start on mine

Working on mine....again. If I keep changing my mind, I will have enough ornaments for the whole QB!:D

I have one done and one to go.

I asked our gracious host if i could send it to her as a thankyou for hosting and if she could post a pic for me. As soon as she responds, well get a pic.

Wouldnt it be spectactular if we ad a hostess that would host a faancy pin swap??????
We ould makee them from fimo, jewels or shrinkydinks.
i got fimo today and thats tonights proje t.
cant wait to start

If it isn't fabric or thread, I don't do it. Used to do that stuff, can't be bothered any more. Am sticking to fabric and thread.

I already know one that I'm making. I'm getting inspiration for the other. And I'll make a bunch, as I always give handmade ornaments out to family and friends. This should be fun!!!! Can't wait to see what everone gets, and what I get!!!!

Well, our fab. Hostess agreed to post a pic, so there will be one posted soon.

I am pretty sure I PM'd for two.. hope I make the cut or someone I know will be getting mystery gifts. Has anyone here seen or been to Brommers or is it Bronners? a christmas store in the midwest. they are the largest Christmas tree decorating store in the country. they have a catalogue which is cool, online better yet but the best part, drum roll is one can look at an item made from one product and rethink it into fabric or felt fabric and beads and come up with something remarkably cute. Just a thought.. besides fun to window shop there. Drool drool. My solution for fur babies eating my ornaments and tree is to hang a garland. Used to have wainscotting but now I hang it from the beams, between that made a swag garland and simply hung it from the wall/roof line.. swagged down, lights and ornaments and oh well out of your reach kitty dears. I have plastic ornaments for them to steal out of my dish on the table. They are experts at this. Everything else is six feet or higher off the floor and out of harms way. We all are happy.

I keep saying I want to take a weekend trip to Bronner's, but haven't made it yet. I worked for a lady who went there every year and spent a fortune! http://www.bronners.com/

DH anchors our tree to a wall, actually did that the first time when DS was a toddler. No pulling that tree down. Neko (the Cat Who Rules) doesn't usually pay much attention to the tree after the first day or so. We hang the "unimportant" ornaments on the lower half, started that cuz of DS too lol! The cat has managed to destroy every tree skirt though. I gave up and the past couple of years I've just used a plastic tablecloth.

I finished my 2 ornaments. Can't wait to see what others do. My to loves are quilting and beading these are beaded.

Pics please, would love to see what you made. Mine aren't quite done yet, but then I'll post.
