Working on Winter items and Christmas gifts!

I have decided to make some of my Christmas gifts this year. I have made 12 of these snowmen hats.

I am quite pleased with how they have turned out. But wow what a process. I bought tea lights and grunged

them myself. I know my mom and sisters will love these. I also have a friend who collects Santa's.

  I just haven't been spending much time on the computer lately. A lady is letting me put some of my things in

her shop and is having open house Nov. 10th. so I am busy making some snowmen and santa's for that.

It is so hard to find time to craft when you work alot, so I am using every spare minute that I have for

crafting. Here are some photo's of my hats, The pattern is a Country Whims pattern.

The finished product!

I wondered where you were. Looks like you were real busy with all the neat things in the works.
Love the santa hats and the grungy tea lights, I can smell them now. Did you also make the card on top of the cello bags too? Very creative.
Glad you are getting to put these in for the open house. I know they will be a hit.

We just drew names for Christmas with my family. Can I add your name..and be sure you draw mine, lol! I love your hats. I so understand about working so much. I work full time...four days a week(although some may say thats NOT full time)..plus raise my little boy on my own. Not to mention the big boys too. I am so tired..I've only made a few little things...but really found them enjoyable...and relaxing! Take a deep breath my friend. Try and take care of you!! (I know, as a nurse and a woman...it's in our nature to care for everyone else first!)
