I'm participating in Sew, Mama, Sew's Giveaway Day by offering a giveaway of loose-leaf tea (Ice Wine) and homemade granola, gifts that will fuel your body and inspire your creativity, to get you through those last crafting days before the holidays.
Or if you're one of those plan-ahead types and you're all ready, then you can sit by the fire and sip away while reading a book.
My warmest wishes as you celebrate all that is this season! Stephanie
Please leave a comment telling me about the holiday projects you have remaining, or have already completed. I'll pick the winner at random on Friday, Dec 17th. (International shipments OK.)

Great giveaway! I need to make a few things yet, one - a felt ball with silk streamer for my niece.
Oh man, I'm so behind on crafting. I have belts, canister labels, wine totes, pj pants... Yikes!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Lovely gifts, Steph! I haven't made anything yet this year, but I'm planning to make some apple streudel and caramel corn next weekend. I also have grand ideas of making some hand-embroidered napkins, but I'm not sure if that's actually going to happen...
I have soo many holiday projects on the go. Baking, quilting, and I am trying to finish a crocheted hat for my daughter!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

Two tea parties done this past weekend. Will bake alittle for a small gathering on Wednesday, then most just wrap packages and enjoy sitting by the fire with a good pot of tea. Had an interesting chai this morning with chocolate and hot pepper flavoring. No more crafting, unless I run out of cards to send.
I am working on one last project - an embellished cushion with my in-laws wedding pic on it printed out in silk and then lots of lace and frou-frou! lol
Hugs,
Kerry

So far the only holiday projects I've managed to finish is the little soft toy I made for this Giveaway Day and another little soft toy I made as a present for my boyfriend's god-daughter.
I'm in the middle of making another holiday themed plushie now, and I have a whole pile of gifts waiting to be made.
...I'm afraid that I'm woefully behind with my holiday crafting.
Such a great giveaway. My birthday is the 17th, and winning would make the day extra-special.
I am making a plush green duck for one of my best friends. I know it sounds odd, but it was a special request. I hope to finish by the end of the week.
I have two comforters to finish, an apron for a toddler, and a baby quilt (although that probably won't make it by Christmas) Thanks for the chance to win!
Those pictures made my stomach growl. ;) I'm working on a doll quilt for my daughter.

I am having a giveaway on my blog as well - a gift card sponsored by CSN Stores. Please do enter
So much more to do! I'm making an apron, a child's smock, some 18" doll sleeping bags, a tea bag wreath... and probably a few other things as well.
I have some mini stockings to finish knitting yet.
This is awesome! One of my favorite things to do during the Christmas season is to sit and read a book snuggled up in a blanket by the fireplace, with a cup of tea in my hand:)

I would love to win this! I'm still sewing baby quilts for Christmas.
I was in a serious holiday gift funk for my grown up children. Thanks to this post and SouleMama's this week, I'm thinking of trying to create a breakfast basket from my pantry/freezer - lamb sausage, maple syrup, granola, backyard eggs, maybe some pumpkin sweet rolls?
I would love to make a scrap quilt scarf soon. Thanks!
bridgestranslation at yahoo dot com
yum yum YUM! nothing better than tea and granola and a book (i'm adding my own book in there).
due to some family upset it looks like the one big project i'd planned to have finished as a christmas present (king size bear paw quilt) won't be nearly done enough... but the recipient's birthday is the end of january, so it should work out just fine.
thanks for the opportunity to win! :)
sarita0818 at comcast dot net
Oh, tea and granola!
I have to plan ahead because I have to ship everything home before Christmas. I still have some homemade nutella and at least one pouch to finish. By Thursday night. Oh, and I need to pack. And ship stuff. And do laundry. AHH!!
That tea sounds amazing.
I have stitched up so many feltie ornaments for friends and family (and swaps!). I still have some embroidery to work on, and a painting.
hugs from snowy Ontario, Canada

Most of our loved ones live hither and yon, so getting their packages wrapped and shipped is my most pressing task. Got 2 sent out today, and will finish up on Thursday. I love this prize! Tea and granola sound AWESOME right about now. Thanks for offering it to us. gatochica@yahoo.com

I decided today to put everything away and spend the rest of this Christmas season enjoying family and friends, do a little baking and relax. I have made several ornaments, aprons, purses and the rest will have to wait.
