The one thing I love most about Christmas is styling a table for a huge Christmas feast. This year I'm going to aim for a fuss-free Chrissy with simple groupings of natural objects, crisp linen and a dash of crimson red. For more styling ideas, head over here.
A couple of weeks ago, I headed over to Katie's place from 5 Star Baby to support the wonderful sale she was hosting. I walked out of there with my hands full. Perhaps the most astonishing piece of sewing mastery I spied was this handbag.
It's gorgeous don't you think? I have bought it for my cousin for Christmas. She's a little bohemian so I know she'll just love the colours and design. So here's the astonishing part...Katie's 8 year old niece made it. That's right, a child. A child who knows their way around a sewing machine! I can't even darn a hole in a sock. Had she made more, I would have bought the whole lot. There is hope for me yet that perhaps I too will sew something worthy of this calibre one day.
What wonderful creations are you making for Christmas? Have you spied someone else's creation that would be perfect for a loved one?

I too love styling the table for christmas. this year, however, we are having a christmas just with our little family of 5. we are spending the day at the beach. I can't wait. no fuss, just fun! I will post my handmade tomorrow, when I get a chance to do what ive had laid out to do for a week now!!
She sure is one clever little girl, it must be in the genes...
A few years ago my husband and I had a handmade Christmas. It was so much fun working together to create gifts for our loved ones!
Wow, an 8 year old made that - very impressive! My 4 year old wants to learn how to use the sewing machine, but I am not ready to teach her (yet!)
