"NFL Doo Rags"

Are these Doo Rags or Dew Rags?  I have no clue........  Anyway....

So far so good for Christmas preparations.  These are two NFL doo rags I made as Christmas gifts.  I hate venturing out the malls, and hate the price retailers charge for NFL items so I made these myself.  They consisted of only 4 pieces of fabric.  Having a serger made the process much easier.  I think now that I've done these two, making more in the future will be much faster.  I also plan on making a couple tree ornaments, NFL of course.  These should last a good while having double stitching on them.  I am not a sports fan so these will probably be it.

This is where I got my pattern from:  http://www.christianityoasis.com/Crafts/DewRag.htm

With Halloween being next Thursday I have been inspired to make some bead spiders.  This one here is my first one, and my husband wants to keep it for his own.  So I will be making a few more to play with color and sizes.  I also finished two of my fun Halloween plaques using my cricut and the cricut craft room free software they offer weekly.  I have some other project planned for Christmas gifts that I really need to get a jump start on.  I am excited to feel the motivation, though this is backwards meaning that "action creates motivation."

Has anyone played with the Cricut Craft Room lately?  Every since lucking out and getting the kewl Halloween freebie of the week last month, I've not seen anything as fun.  I check it every week hoping there will be something I can use, but so far nothing.  It was fun for vinyl cutting, the cricut works as well if not better than some commercial plotters I've worked with.

I view Pinterest.com a time or two each week.  It seems that only once in a while you see something fresh and new.  Though I do think I'll try making some beaded spiders to see how cute they turn out.  Would love to sell some, but this close to Halloween I may be to late, we'll see.

With Christmas around the corner I need to get at least one quilt top finished and sent off to my mom so she can quilt it on her big machine.  Would like to do a second one......and may, but we will see.

We are still working on our Hotdog wagon, but may not be in action until after Christmas.
