My new machines

I think I am in love....................... these machines rock! I haven't used many features yet, but the verdict so far is that they're pretty darned good!

Photos of holiday crafts

I know I promised photos and I finally was able to upload them from the camera. For some reason, it wasn't working right so I uninstalled the software and started afresh.

My tree skirt. Pattern is from http://www.about.com. It was really easy, but I omitted the ruffle and did a band of coordinating fabric instead. The fabric has little pointsettias on it.

Here are the stockings I made for my husband and myself. The pattern is from http://www.about.com. He just HAD to be different and wanted this neat gold fabric for the top. The bottom has pinecones on it. Mine has snowflakes.

This picture is of the stockings I made for my kids. My daughter's has little snowmen on it, and my son's has stars and swirls.

Lastly, here's the wreath I made for my girlfriend and her husband. They came over for Christmas dinner, and I thought it would be nice to give them a little something.
