{wrap up}

as the tides have already turned for the new year i need to do a bit of catch up for 2012.
we did a small Christmas swap with the {lou}bee ladies. i had some labels on fabric printed from spoonflower with our {lou}bee logo. i decided to embroider an ornament. i LOVED doing it and LOVED the finished product. this is on my list to make for myself.

my family decided to switch to a secret santa swap among the adults. i picked my little sis in japan {who i made these placemats and napkins for}. i thought i would stick with some homemade love and branched out into my first foray of pillow making. these are 18" pillows. i got the down forms from pottery barn.

 i think they turned out pretty great.

hopefully i'll have a couple quilts finished up soon to share and a bee block or two. happy new year!
