Christmas Bag Sets for Sale!

A stuffed Christmas bag waiting to be opened! 

This year I'm really excited to start selling a few things I've been making and perfecting over the years for my own family and friends. The first of these items are sets of Christmas bags. What's a Christmas bag, you say?

A Christmas bag is a fabric bag that will last forever, long after paper bags, wrapping paper, and tissue paper. There is no clean-up after the gifts have been given, just gather them up, fold them and put them away for next year...and every year after that.

They keep vintage fabrics out of the landfill and are a great option both financially and environmentally. They come with a nice folded inside seam, and are double stitched up each side for strength. They're a part of the holiday traditions.
Two patterns of bags; S, M, L size, all folded up (bonus minis, too!)

I had never heard nor seen Christmas bags before marrying into the Mast family. Stefan's Oma always made them for her family, and Stefan's mom carried on the tradition for her own family. When I spent my first Christmas among them, I asked about them. They're so different, and I love that we've kept up the tradition as well.

Through the years I've accumulated vintage holiday, Christmas, and wintry fabrics, and I'm excited to spread the idea around! I love items that are aesthetically pleasing and these bags, with a little ribbon tie, look gorgeous around a tree. There is no waste with these bags like used-up bows, broken bags, paper wrapping, or the tag being ripped off. Oh yeah, and they last forever. 

 The remaining four fabrics used. The first two are vintage material. 

I'm making a number of sets for sale, and each set will be $25. Included in that are 5 bags of various sizes (2 small, 2 medium, 1 large) and a bonus mini in all the fabric patterns you see in the last two photos.

Each set will be wrapped up with enough ribbon or twine for all the bags* and wrapped up with a pompom or two. I am only making 10 sets, so hurry if you want some for your family. 

Please email me at SSLAMAST (AT) GMAIL (DOT) COM for paypal address. If you're not local, shipping will be $5 flat. Thank you!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...
