Giveaway winner and the holiday sewing never ends

Hi to all you new followers out there, and hi to all you followers-for-a-while! I updated my SMS Giveaway post with the winner, so please check back in. I do apologize for not replying to everyone's comments - there were a lot of you!

I totally meant to announce the winner over the weekend and then this happened:


So you know, I was a little preoccupied ;) That ornament accompanied the ring, as we swap ornaments with each other every year, so we can build up our stash of meaningful ornaments [see, I stash more than fabric]. I'd say this year became pretty meaningful!

In other less sparkly news, I still have a backlog of some Christmas projects to share, but I think I'll just let the photos do most of the talking:


Munki Munki Christmas pillow - a new FMQ trial - I'm not so much a fan of it. The FMQing, not the pillow. I love the pillow!


Some inspiring geometrics. That turned into this...




An almost-but-not-quite finished advent calendar. I've been sewing on the buttons as I hang the daily ornament. Because you know, sometimes you just lose your steam at the prospect of 24 buttons and making binding. It will all get done in the end :)


I have one Christmas project left to share, and it's probably my favorite story so far, so check back later in the week!
