Merry Christmas!

It's been so busy here finishing up Christmas presents and getting all of the decorations up (still not done). I am looking forward to getting all the loose ends tied up today and just enjoying the weekend. Here's a little bit of our week.

I made another 241 tote this time for my sister-in-law this is a gorgeous japanese linen fabric ecrulat lycéenne paired with Andover's Dazzle. The lining is a little Lotta Jansdotter Echo.


Some little coasters for a hostess gift.


These are 10" Gingerbread men that Lily and Avery decorated. You can see the zombi plague has spread to Christmas it's a shame when cookies attack.


 We took the kids on the Polar Express this year. Its a train ride complete with characters from the movie, hot chocolate, and Santa they had so much fun.


I made about 80 Salted Caramel Macarons using this recipe which was based on Helene's recipe from Tartelette a site I love. They were so yummy and not as hard to make as I expected, if only I hadn't had to give so many away.




Happy Holidays everyone I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
