December ami-along - STASH BUSTERS and/or DESSERTS!
Wow, it's ami-along theme day again! Time flies during the holiday season!! We hope that everyone who celebrates it had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm giving thanks for amigurumi for keeping me sane ... well, relatively sane. ;o)
The December ami-along themes are STASH BUSTERS and/or DESSERTS!
"Stash Busters" can be absolutely anything that uses up materials that you already have - a good thing to do so your money can be saved for holiday items and activities! :o) And of course, "Desserts" needs no explanation. Yumm! Please remember that ami-alongs are just for fun and inspiration - we love to see ALL of your cuties! Anytime! :o)
Since this month's themes include Stash Busters, which is pretty much anything you like, I thought it would be a good opportunity to share some miscellaneous and very cool pattern links that I've been collecting to share with you. All are super cute and some are totally FABULOUS! :o) If you're looking for holiday patterns and inspirations, check out last month's ami-along post.
