My sewing machine and I have had a lot of time together over the past few weeks! I am quickly running out of fabric and I might have to break out of the house and get some more so I have more projects to do. I have also gotten to know my Mod Podge pretty well. I was able to make a few Christmas presents which saved us some money this year. I still can't post all of the Christmas gift crafts that I did because a few of them haven't been delivered yet. 
I made my in-laws a quilt this year with a lot of help from my mom over Thanksgiving break. She let me use a big portion of her fabric and she helped me cut and sew it together. Which saved me time and money. I am VERY greatful for her help on the quilt. I even got Mike to tie the quilt with me so he could say that he participated in some way on his own parents gift!
I FINALLY got around to decorating the letters for my nursery. I took all of your ideas and combined them. I painted them each a different color that matched as closely with the nursery colors as I could. Because of the shape and curves of the letters I knew it would be hard to get one piece of paper to fit well on the letter so I decided to do a collage of paper. I also knew I couldn't find paper that I would LOVE or have the ability to spend a lot of time looking so I improvised and used from my scrap pile. I mod podged the scraps on and then did coats of mod podge over top. Thank you for everyone's ideas.
I also made myself a few burp cloths from some extra fabric that I had. They are a great way to use up small scraps of batting that I had left over from my parents rag quilt. I have many more projects left on my to do list that luckily I have all the time I could ever want plus some but now I just need some more skill!
