I've made a few of these coffee cozies for stocking stuffers. They're kind of fun and pretty simple, especially for me, the girl who has a sewing machine but rarely uses it :) The pic isn't very good, but you get the idea. I used wool on the inside and flannel on the outside and an old vintage button.
You can find the instructions here:

I also completed two of these 17 lb. cement stepping stones for a holiday order.
Obviously gifts for the avid golfer!
The Christmas cards I ordered finally arrived so now I'll get busy addressing them and send them on their merry way. Hoping to catch up with many of you soon. I miss having the time to visit your blogs!

I really wish this time of year was not so hectic!! I hope you find some time to just sit and be, to catch your breath.
These coffee cozy's are so cute, and great stocking stuffers. I sometimes can spend way too much on the stuff I stuff in the stockings.
And, last year I purchased new stockings, and I got them cause I loved them, not thinking they are huge!!!! I think a lot of fruit will be going in these as well as stuff this year!!!! :)
Darla, we're all experiencing the hectic holiday rush~Don't be sorry, and take some time just for "you"~
Hi Darla,
I feel like a bad blogger lately too! Just too much going on in December. I for one will be happy when the holiday is over! Thought I would just leave you a note to say hello, and happy holidays!
Love,
Kelly
The coffee cozy is adorable.

You're not a bad blogger, it's the time of year when so much is going on. Make sure you take a bit of time to relax and enjoy the beauty of the season.

Merry Christmas!
Wow, with all that's on your list I don't know how you manage things even without the holidays! I know it's really difficult keeping up on everything and I sure struggle with it too. The coffee cozy is darling and I LOVE the stepping stone!
Enjoy your weekend!♥
It certainly is a crazy busy time of year so don't feel bad re. visiting blogs. I'm just trying to catch up where I can.
Your coffee cozy is gorgeous and what a nifty idea! The cement stepping stone turned out great too and the recipient will love it for sure!
