Woo hoo, somebody’s been out of sorts lately.  And that would be me.

Figured I gots to get my mojo back.  And what better excuse for mojo rejuvenation than Christmas!  Shiny lights!  Bright, clashing colors!  Elves!  A snowstorm of glitter!  These are a few of my favorite things.

Nothing like an overabundance of ornaments to make me feel jolly again.  This is the first time in three years we’ve had our decorations.  As I unwrapped them and put them on the tree, my demeanor instantly changed for the better.  Remember the Jetsons cartoon?  I have a talking Rosie the robot maid.  How the heck could I not be happy now?

I’ve been doing a major overhaul on my sewing room.  (Hmmm…cleaning could have something to do with general grumpiness…)  But that’s a good thing!  I have new equipment.  Major new equipment.  Equipment that does really good tricks.

My new sewing machine made this stocking.  And I helped!  I got some fun holiday fabrics at my local crack house (okay, it’s a sewing machine dealer/fabric store.  But I spend all my money there.  It’s an addiction.)  Used the colors from the fabrics to make the stocking.  This puts the fun in funky!  Awesome and weird Christmas color palette.

I like the background for these photos.  It’s a bunch of santa hats, a santa tiara, elf ears and a talking elf.  The elf actually hums, he doesn’t talk.  Hums along to 3 Christmas songs.  And it still makes me laugh every time.

This is my ninjabread man.  He’s got a throwing star with frosting.  And a bandolier of ornaments.  He and I look badass in this shirt.  If you’re gonna wear an embroidered shirt, it should have something sassy on it.  That’s my theory.

Stay crafty, my friends.
