[today I learned] half-rectangle triangles

Today I learned to make half-rectangle triangles! I followed this tutorial (which I've read about a hundred times). It is surprisingly easy, except for the tricky bit where you have to hold pieces together strangely. But that could be easily solved with pins (I just don't do pins). So far, I've made like 24 half-rectangle triangles. The process makes two at once, so it goes pretty fast.

I'll be sharing more about this project in the future, but for now it's a secret!

Now that Halloween has passed, it's really time to start thinking about the upcoming holidays! I posted earlier about starting my Christmas presents, but now that the deadline is steadily approaching, I've really begun to ramp up my crafting!

My to-do list still has way too many items on it - from a quilt to a cross-stitch or two and many other projects. I've crossed four names off my list so far, but there are six people left! Here's hoping I can get it all done in time.

Here are some recent pictures of pretty Christmas scraps... I'll give you to guess what projects I used these fabrics for!
