Teeny projects are just my speed

As the semester comes to a close (and what a semester it has been!), the only time I have for sewing is when I can steal it. So I'm ridiculously pleased with the three teeny projects I've managed to complete in the last couple weeks:



A Christmas ornament for my Ho Ho Holiday Swap partner, Tricia Ann (from the fabric she sent me, even!), and two mug rugs that are currently winging their way across the country to Invisible Internet Friends.

Ho-Ho Holiday Preview and Signal-Boosting a Giveaway

One of the very first blogs I found to love was Gen X Quilters, so it's fitting that I'm taking part in my very first online swap there, too. Right?



And I find that I keep collecting fat quarters to potentially send--I only need to send three, but I'm up to NINE:



...at least I'll have plenty of fabrics to use in the ornament I'm making for my swap partner? I don't have a stash, but this is dangerous.

I'd also like to signal-boost an EXCELLENT giveaway (although I must confess I initially didn't want to, because I want to win it!). Lee at Freshly Pieced is offering two amazing prizes: A custom-designed blog header and some tasty modern fat quarters. Do go check it out!
