If you promise not to tell, I'll let you peek at some of the Christmas presents I'm making.
I *love* this tote bag. I got two, and I'm very tempted to keep one of them. But I think I may use one for my SAGA Christmas party gift and dig out my seriously underutilized Vera Bradley tote for me. I can even monogram it to make it feel special and new. The red tote came from http://www.lakeside.com/. They are terribly slow shippers (I placed my original order Oct. 28 and the last part of my order just shipped today) but they have lots of cool stuff reasonably priced.

This purse came from Lakeside too.
The first of many, many kitchen towels I'm doing. I'm a little worried because the rest of the designs are split and I'll have to stitch and rehoop. It'll give me lots of hooping practice though.
I'm also working on Riley's christening gown. The date is a little up in the air, either Dec. 7 or Dec. 14th...I've sworn to get this kid dedicated before he's a year old, so if it gets pushed to the 21st I guess I can live with that too...if you want to come (and all are welcome) the 14th is the most likely date, but I can't say for sure yet. Actually, we are planning on combining the christening with his first birthday (especially since the poor kid doesn't really have any "baby" friends), so if you can't make it for church, come for cake and ice cream.
I'm smocking a couple of Christmas outfits also that must be done by Dec. 7...nothing like a deadline to make me dread working on something. I'll post pictures when I have something to show.
