Ahhh! I had to laugh because I'm needing to get started on my sewing soon! I too had planned on making crayola rolls for my niece and nephew! They're great! By the way did you add a flap at the top of yours so your pencils don't slide out? Just wonderin'.
i am in LOVE with your sewing machine. completely in love. she makes some lovely little projects too... the pencil rolls are always such a lovely idea and that darling embroidery! oh, lovely weekend to you! and give your sewing machine a little pat from me, would you? ;-)
How wonderful that you are passing on your marvelous talents to your offspring. I am a pretty good cook and have sewing, crocheting and needle point skills, but failed to spark any interest in any of these crafts to my children. Rats. Keep up the great work Dana. :)
Love your sewing machine! How funny-- seems like everyone is posting pictures of their machines lately. I posted about my own old one yesterday not knowing about other peoples machines!
I'm making pencil rolls, too! I have some nephews that would LOVE them!
Wow! I have a machine of the very same vintage, but a sea green "White." It served me well for several years, but I hate admit that I happily upgraded when my hubby bought me something fancier. Your gifts are so sweet! Isn't Christmas just fun, and soooo busy!
That Kenmore will probably outsew and outlast many of the new machines on the market. I have several machines, none of them newer than 1960s. All sew like a dream. And easy maintenance...clean and oil. Your Kenmore is a gem. And, Oh! Boo simply must make at least one ornament for you to keep.
Girl you amaze me with what you put out on that machine!! I have to say though I truly love my husqvarna, and can't imgine my little sewing life with out it. We too have been sewing away. My oldest daughter gave her sweet boyfriend a quilt she made for Christmas and I gave 2 little people we love quilts as well.. can't say much more as my momma reads this here blog (he he he) so we will leave all that alone. Have a blessed Christmas my dear!!
Very fun, I just did crayon rolls and found that a little loop of FOE is great for kids who can't tie. You're little pillows are so great! Love the embroidary. That's something I wish I could do! All beautiful stuff.

Love the pencil caddies and Boo's embroidering is SPECTACULAR!!! Please tell her that I'd be DELIGHTED if I were her teacher!
Oh, so darling! Nicely done to you both!
Are you gonna post the pattern for the pencil holders?
Love the pencil holders. We could use some of those at our house! You are so creative!
Your sewing machine is so sleek. It reminds me of fishtail car from the 50's.
Happy Sewing!

Vintage sewing machine? It reminds me of the one I have, it is for sure vintage. Don't work too hard girls.
Your projects are always great.
Love your machine! so purty :) Boo is such a great stitcher - have her make an extra just for you!
I'm glad I visited you today. Your projects are so cute that now I feel like finishing what I started. :)
that embroidered hanging pillow is too much. how sweet. i'm totally making my kids make their teacher gifts.

Your machine is BEAUTIFUL! I'm so impressed with all of your handmade creations-very inspiring!
Pencil caddies = total inspiration! Thanks!
Great idea to teach the kids to embroider early on.
It will become a lost art if we don't.
Love the sewing machine! Mine is a vintage Kenmore too! But yours is much prettier than mine. Fun pencil rolls!
How wonderful! I love the embroidered teacher gifts...so priceless. I can see why you don't want to let them go!
Love the pencil rolls, but those pillows are priceless! I would have an impossible time parting with them too!
as a teacher, the very best gifts i got were ones made by my kids. good for her!

Are you going to post your pencil pattern? Please :) Merry Christmas. I wish I had a daughter to teach to sew.
Love your pencil roll. It's nice that your daughter is learning to sew.

I think Boo has inherited her Mother's creative talent!
Now I know why you sew such beautiful things -- only beauty could come from a machine like that.
Boo is quite the stitcher. I would make sure there is one for you also.
