Project 1 - Painting Wooden Christmas Ornaments
A couple of the plain wooden ornaments I had bought this year (impulse buy when I was at the store for fabric) and a few have been stuffed in a drawer for the past couple of years waiting to be painted. Since I already had a drawer full of craft paints no additional purchases were needed for a fun evening of painting together. Check out our masterpieces....

My husband's pretty penguin - now I have to find a tummy picture! |

Project 2 - Hand Warmers
Found this idea on Pinterest. Fabric hearts filled with rice. Heat in microwave for 20 seconds and put in your pockets to keep winter fingers warm. I thought this would be a good use for some of my flannel leftovers from the baby blankets (see Jan. 8 post). My niece saw one I had made and wanted us to make more. We had a good time picking out flannel and sewing up the toasty little hearts.

A small funnel makes stuffing much easier! |
I'd love to hear stories of projects you have completed from your own stash.
