I began November with a personal challenge - 30 Days of Creativity.
I made more than 30 items over the month, but I express my creativity in many ways and not everything involved "making".
In my quest to see the bottom of my sewing cabinet, I tackled a pile of projects.
I made pillows for the guest room,
for gifts
and to decorate the house.
I made a bunch of stockings out of drop cloth scraps
and sent many of them off to friends.
Scraps of fabric
became ornaments to decorate a little tree in the entry.
I painted a sign for the garden ladder and then the "making' stopped for a few days.
I took this cabinet from the living room
and reunited it with its base in the entry.
I had fun creating a pleasing display on the shelves.
That yellow and blue soup tureen is finally getting a spotlight.
The tureen is part of the set of Pistoulet dishes that the awesome Kris of Junk Chic Cottage won from a Pfaltzgraff giveaway and gifted to me.
November's creativity
led to the house being completely decorated and ready for Christmas.
And so, December will be a month to simply enjoy the season.
But, I just have a few hours left in November to finish embroidering this table runner for my next door neighbor.
Then, I can kick back and do nothing!
