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!),

    Looking forward to your blogs, especially the Tudor Rose posts! I'm on a bit of a Tudor binge at the moment, having just got into a series of mystery/detective novels set during the reign of Henry VIII :)
    Hope you have a safe and fun trip to Texas!

    Yay! I can't wait to see your purse with the Tudor rose! Boo~ i don't think I can do the challenge cuz I don't have hardly any extra notions! I mean, I have like an extra zipper and two buttons and some piping... I guess that is one area that I buy only what I need and never have any extra left... I'll be watching, though!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! No-reply commentors don't get to read my witty replies, and that's just sad.
