Is Christmas over yet?

"Recycled" Christmas fabric bag.
The back of the bag.
Three days 'til Christmas and I've given up on several projects and added several others. It's gonna be a caffeine fueled holiday. This little scrap bag made using the selvages and scrap ends of the Christmas fabric I've been working with was made for our office gift exchange (the theme was recycling). It was a lot of fun to make and so I made another similar bag with the Yuletide Magic fabric for my mother (she doesn't read the blog so I'm safe writing about :). I'll post pictures after Christmas. Of course, I had to order some more Yuletide Magic fabric for myself. It should get here next week sometime. I wonder if I'll still be in a Christmas fabric kind of mood? I also completed a flannel raggy quilt for my coworker Sara's new baby girl, and a number of fabric bowls. This one was for another coworker who was the "Holiday Cheer Meister"for the office. Thanks Holly! I hadn't planned on making the baby quilt, but as I was looking for Christmas flannel in my closet I came across this kit, probably fifteen years old or so and it said, "pick me, pick me!" so I went with it. I'd write more, but I have to pack for our trip to Fort Yukon tomorrow. The big question: should I take my sewing machine and etc.? I have some knitting plans, which travel better, but I have so many sewing projects to complete and I'm not sure I can pull an all-nighter to get them done before I leave. We'll see. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
