Extra Fabric Project No. 1 - Cross Quilt Pattern

I had acquired a large number of pre-cut 4" squares of all kinds of Christmas fabrics and wanted to use them up but I had no idea how to make them work together.  So I brought them to one of my Sit 'N Sew classes and one of the ladies came up with this cross pattern.   The best thing about this pattern is that it works well with all kinds of fabrics, the only downside is that one has to lay it all out first and then start sewing.   (Note: I used 4" squares, but any size square will work, they just all have to be the same size.)

Christmas Tradition No. 2 - China Pattern

This is my Christmas China pattern.  It is by Tracy Porter and I believe it was produced from 2003 to 2006, and is now discontinued.  I liked it because it has a sense of fun designed into it, I didn't want something overly formal or serious.

Christmas Tradition No. 1 - Christmas Morning Breakfast

Every Christmas morning my husband and I have have Creme Brulee French Toast. It is really very scrummy and is prepared the night before. It takes about 40 minutes to bake, just time to pick up all the bows, ribbons and shredded wrapping paper.
