Treasury Tuesday: Santa RULES!!!

It's Treasury Tuesday again...  Time is flying by, and I'm so busy I usually don't even know what day of the week it is!  I'm working on 6 custom Photo Purses this week-- trying to make a big dent in the stack since this is such a short work week.  (Happy Thanksgiving, everyone-- just in case I don't get back to my blog this week...  I'm seriously dreaming about turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy!  I. can't. wait!)  So, anyway, I'm going to cheat and share some cute Santa treasuries that are brand new this week on Etsy, instead of one of my own.  Thanks to Jennifer M., Martha, and Heidi for including my Hip Santa purse in your adorable treasuries!  Great Christmas finds!!!

Crank up the Christmas music!

I know, I know...  It's a little early to start with the Christmas music.  Normally, I'd agree with you.  I usually wait until the day after Thanksgiving-- after which it is all Christmas music, all the time.  BUT... I received a large order last night for a bunch of Christmas items... Here's a sample of some of what I'll be looking at for the next week:

I'll be looking at Santa's face(s) for AT LEAST a week...

Large order of purses going to Canada this time...

I had been plugging away at my stack of already-cut-out aprons to get them ready for my next show on November 19.  But, it's been quite a week.  Not necessarily a bad week, but there's just been no time to sew.  Yesterday, when I finally thought I'd finally make some good progress-- our electricity went out due to the high winds we were experiencing...  Sigh.  Well, they'll get done eventually...

Twirly Skirt Apron-in-progress.  I love this cheerful fabric!!!

I'll finish up this skirt, then I guess I'll be knee deep in Santa purses AND aprons for a while.  (After a quick trip to the fabric store... if there is such a thing.)  I will definitely need some motivational music to keep me going!  This is good news for my youngest daughter, who will be here later today.  I'm thinking she's gonna love my playlist!  She's ready to start listening to Christmas music in August...  =)

Ok, Phoebe...  Are YOU ready to get this party started?

All snuggled in and ready for the work day!!!

Something in the air...

I'm a little behind on making up my treasury of the week at Etsy...  (Been an unusually busy week... with things other than sewing.  It all catches up with you eventually.)  However, other Etsians have been busy little bees making up Christmas treasuries.  I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving (Food and family!  What more could you ask for???  Am I right?) but these treasuries are really getting me in the mood for the Christmas season!  I've been privileged to be featured in 5 fall/holiday treasuries this week.  Here's the list of them so that you can join me in dreaming of a white Christmas:
