Christmas Tree is Down...Boo Ya!

Remind me next year that it's not really that hard to put all the Christmas crap away. I'm a little leary, as it all fit back in the containers loosely. I hope I didn't miss something, but I did do some culling of decorations again this year. My house is back to normal. Yay! But the microwave blew up yesterday. Boo. I guess you have to have the yin with your yang.

Saw this adorable paper pieced apple on Pinterest yesterday. I couldn't resist making one. The apple part is 3"! You can find the free pattern right here. The stem was tricky. I think I unsewed it at least five times. Ahem. I didn't cuss though. Now that's progress.

Hollywood's new net book sleeve with pockets. It's kind of flimsy, but she likes it. Wish I would have added a layer of batting. The pattern was nice and easy though. Oh snap, I should have used a coordinating pony tail holder instead of that white elastic. Next time. I just moved my hair elastics to my elastic collection. I have too much crap. I'm off to move some more of this crap outta here. Happy Saturday!
