Week Ending - November 27

Seven inspiring projects, seven talented makers! Quilting, crochet and baking links to inspire you to create every day of the week!

Happy Sunday lovely! I hope you've had a creative week!

What was your favorite Christmas book growing up? My kids couldn't get enough of A Rugrats Night Before Christmas, and mine was beyond a doubt, The Nutcracker. 

As an adult I think my favorite would either be A Christmas Carol or Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm or Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas. I'd love to hear your favorites!

I did find you seven inspiring Christmas projects this week, so let's go:

• Julie from The Crafty Quilter has a tutorial for the Cutest Gnome Mug Rug Ever! and he's adorable. This is a free block pattern, and you could also use him for other projects. So fun and festive!
• I also love the Snowman Mug Rug tutorial form Scrapdash. He's a quick and easy applique project, and again use this one for other projects. You could applique him on cushions, your tree skirt, tablecloths etc. I think you'll love him!

• The Easy Frangipane Topped Mince Pies from Easy Peasy Foodie look delicious. I love frangipane and the fruit mince would make a winning combination. Add this one to your must try list this Christmas.
• Hook and Leaf has a gorgeous Modern Christmas Throw Blanket pattern for you to crochet. It's simple and stunning and it will add a festive touch to your favorite reading chair. It's C2C crochet which is quick and fun, and you only need to choose three colours!

• I also love the Pinewood Crochet Pillow from E'Claire Makery. This one requires a bobble stitch, and she links her tutorial if you're not familiar. She's used a gorgeous faux fur yarn which will add cosiness and warmth to your home. Simple but fun!
• The Quirk and The Cool posted Nigella's Italian Christmas Pudding Cake and I desperately want to bake this! She says it's easy and it's like a tiramisu meets trifle which sounds delicious. I think my craft girls will love this, so I'm going to give it a try for our end of year party!
• The Cinnamon Honey Butter recipe from Tidy Mom is a lovely gift idea for friends and neighbours. Sharing homemade treats at Christmas is so special and it's my favorite gift to receive. Give this recipe a try!

And that's it for another week! I hope these projects help with your Christmas planning!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday lovely! Stay safe and well :)

Happy Week Ending :)
