I am trying to get into it this year - find it hard as is wrong season for me - but sewing/creating is one area I can get enthusiastic about. Not all are sewing as I tend to use iron on adhesive as a short cut where I can though as don't have a proper machine and have to hand sew.

I have a collection of bird fabric ornaments 1-25 as a type of advent calendar - which are gorgeous and am using with DD to teach her birds names - need to sew them up by the 1st. Also making an advent calendar with pockets (mainly using iron on adhesive - sorry I know this is a sewing thread) from the cheap fleece throws you can get from IKEA and scraps of Christmas fabric - not sure what will put in pockets yet maybe really nice chocolate and that can be for me and DH and the birds for DD.

I am making a few T-Shirts for some of DD's friends, and some personalized fabric ornaments for relatives (as not only work out cheaper than the printing companies but are lighter to put in post to England)
