Santa clause is coming to town..

This weekend has seen me distracted from my Shrinking Sheet plans for a while. While playing last week I managed to make a couple of gifts which has finally got me started on my homemade Christmas quest.  I am so glad that I have made a start as I really thought it was going to be left too late. 

I was so pleased when a couple of weeks ago my bother told me that my 13 year old nephew was really hoping for a Magoo for Christmas.  It really took me by surprise as I did not imagine a 13 year old boy wanting one, but I didn't need to be told twice!!  So in the last couple of days I have tried to make an appropriate Magoo - of course florals or love-hearts were out of the question so I decided to make this little fella..

And of course there is one at every port, isn't there??? 

My 15 year old niece has also been hoping for a Magoo for some time so it was a match made in heaven! I have purchased a couple of "handmade" etsy gifts as well so I think I am well on my way. Now to make some original gifts as I try out a few of my ideas for the book! Which reminds me, thanks so much everyone for your advice!  I have the book all planned out in my head now and cant wait to get started!

Hi Girls, I too have just finished making Magoo for my two monkeys. My children chose their fabrics and now I'm busy making more of your delightful patterns. Check them out on my blog http://treannsplace.blogspot.com Keep up the good work. Kind Regards Treann

better get a wriggle on Melly - and I thought I was running late with my pressies and I'm nearly finished. But then I can't put up my tree until I finish sewing - the joys of a tiny house!
