Finally Friday!

"Waiting for Santa" a freebie by Helga Mandl Designs.

I have to say that I'm really enjoying seeing all your fun

projects on this week's flickr group!

I've been stitching quite a bit myself.

I love getting lost in my stitch count.

It is so calming :)

I finished the "Waiting for Santa" freebie

and I'm 1/2 way through the Nativity set

that I'm working on.

"The Christmas Story" Nativity from For the Love of Cross Stitch Magazine  July 2002 and  Sept 2002

I also made another one of my favorite tote bags

for a friend's baby shower.

She's having a girl and is doing the nursery

in purple and green.

I love love love this bag pattern.

It's Simplicity 9658 view C

and you can fit just about anything into it.

My best friend calls it the "Infinity bag" 

because no matter how much you stuff 

into it, there's always room for more :)

I found this darling fabric by Heidi Grace at Joann's.

It has all those cute flowers and hearts 

with a wood grain background.

Isn't it adorable?

I used pale green pin dots for the lining

and purple cotton canvas for the outside.

Don't forget to post your projects!

You have until midnight tonight.

Good luck everyone!!!
