Sneak Peaks

I'll be way down in Texas for Christmas and New Years so I've been prepping for our long journey.  One of the things I hope will keep the kids occupied is this fabric maze I sewed:

And I've come up with another little project to make our trip a little easier:

As my special Christmas gift to blogland crafters around the world, I've scheduled 3 posts (all for Dec. 20th) about the Tudor Rose purses I've been making:

One introduction post showing a little gallery of the recent Tudor Rose I made, another giving you a brief history of the Tudor Rose badge and what it means to England, and the last post will be a tutorial.

You can also look forward to another tutorial on how to make a simple zippered pouch:

While I'm away, I want you to be sure to vote for your favorite entry into the Solids-Only Tote Challenge.  Plus, I wish you would consider signing up for our Naughty Notions Challenge which takes place in January.

Happy crafting and big hugs from Montana (and even bigger hugs from Texas!),
