Day 5

I have always had this dream.  I would transform every bedroom in my house on December 1st to look like the rooms in the Pottery Barn holiday catalog.  Which would mean I would need Christmas quilts for every bed and fun holiday decorations for each room.

Yeah, right.  I barely get the living room decorated.  So I might be able to handle this.  Pillowcases.  For December.  Especially for Christmas Eve.

The labels can be personalized with a name and date.

Or, you can choose to make a set of pillowcases with these labels:

The fabric, pattern and labels can be found here.

Whew.  Thank goodness it's Friday.  And I will have to admit I am a little more in the Christmas spirit today than I was on Monday.  Here is a little fact to scare you.  There are 47 days until Christmas.  Oh my.

Have a great weekend!  We will see you back here on Monday.

Day 4

We love the chalkboard trend.  I mean we really, really love it.  So we decided to design a chalkboard calendar.  It is 16" x 20" and can be customized with a name.

My favorite part of this print is that you can actually use chalk or one of those fancy chalk pens to write on it.  It is also easy to frame- or just pin it up on a bulletin board.

Don't get me wrong, I love my calendar on my i-phone, but this is so much prettier!  It also makes a great gift for that family you have no idea of what to get.  It is available now in our store.

We have another project for you tomorrow (Friday) before we take a break for the weekend.  See you then!

Day 3...

Happy Wednesday!  It is our third day or our 12 Days of Christmas.  Today we are featuring a Christmas Apron:

The front of the apron is made form one of our "Ink Swatch" screen printed fabric.  If you aren't familair with the Ink Swatches, you can find our blog post about them here.

You can also purchase just the screen printed fabric to make other thing- bags, pillows, etc.  Everything is in our shop now.

We are celebrating our love for all things chalkboard tomorrow, so make sure to come back and check it out!

 

Day 2...

Usually we like to keep our very favorite projects towards last in our 12 Days of Christmas.  I don't know why we do that, but we do.  But this time, I couldn't wait.  I love, love, love this project.  It is one of my favorites we have ever done for Christmas.  

We call it our "Family Christmas Mini Quilt".  It measures 16.5" x 16.5".  The center label can be personalized with any name or word that you would like.  The labels would also be great to make fabric gift tags.  They are sold separately from the fabric kit.

Everything can be found here.  See you on Wednesday!

Day 1!

It's here!  Our 12 Days of Christmas begins today.  And it was kind of fitting, because I woke up to snow!

Our first day is a fun project that can be personalized.  Here is our Monogram Basket:

This would make a great gift or keep it for yourself!

The fabric kits, pattern and labels are available here.  There are a few things to keep in mind when ordering our 12 Days of Christmas items:

• The patterns, fabric kits and labels are all sold separately.  This is because some people want to make more than 1 item of the same project, but don't want to purchase 2 patterns when they purchase more than 1 fabric kit.
• All the patterns are downloadable.  However, if you would like a hard copy, just leave us a message when ordering.
• Our shop has many items, and the way Etsy works, it is impossible to keep the shop organized they way we would like it.  To help find things, just click on "The 12 Days of Christmas" under the "Shop Section" on the left hand side of the website.  All of the items we show the next 12 days will be organized under that section.

Have a great Monday and see you tomorrow!
