Way to go,
Lana! The pictures look great! Such cute fabrics!
I was able to finish the owl ornament this weekend. I also cut and finished an simple penguin ornament too. Inspiration pic here:

I also FINALLY finished the little bear ornament for DS! After all that time of trying to figure out a scarf, i ended up just cutting a strip of red felt, tying it on, hot gluing one side down so it would lay right and fringing the ends with scissors. Simple and cute. Also added a ribbon loop for the ornament "hanger" part and hot glued a button on to hide where I sewed down the ribbon.
Felt good to get that done!
I am also thiiiiiiisss close to finishing sewing up the owl with the tape measure inside of it. Once again, got too late and I couldn't focus as well. But the hard part is done, just have to finish it up tonight!
Oh, and I almost forgot, finished hot gluing on all the little pieces of paper to my first ornament like this:

Now I have to cut out the star from cardboard and apply the glitter, etc. I did my first one using scrapbook paper and I think I may like the book pages better. Will try that for my second attempt. I plan to make about 5 of these, I think.
So! This week! Here are my intended projects:
- Finish sewing up owl tape measure project
- Finish knitting second square to donate
- Finish 1st paper/glitter ornament
- Giraffe ornament, not sure of pattern yet, have to draw one but I'm thinking something like this:

Will have to see what I can come up with. I can sometimes find good patterns by searching free clipart, then printing and tracing. We will see! But one of my closest friends luuuuuuuves giraffes, so this will be a great gift for her this year!
- Make a trip to Hobby Lobby for a few supplies so I can continue down my list of projects! I'm running out of certain colors of felt and it is on sale this week!
