We’ve all finished stuffing ourselves with turkey and mashed potatoes and there’s no denying that Christmas is coming. Soon. Very Soon. Now, I wanted to share a few more pictures and projects from my brand-spankin’ new eBook, A Very Kimba Christmas.
I had the idea to write this eBook way back in August, so I’ve been thinking about Christmas projects since late summer. I decided to try my hand at an eBook because a regular post on my blog doesn’t give me enough space for tons of pictures and detailed explanations.
This book has 5 super detailed tutorials on 75 pages and over 180 photographs. It’s the next best thing to sitting at my kitchen table and doing these projects with me. Seriously, I think I even tell you when to take potty breaks. It’s that detailed. You non-crafty types are going to love it!
After you read this eBook, you’ll be able to make this gorgeous No-Sew Snowflake Pillow Cover. I provide the snowflake templates so you can print them out from your computer and use them as a pattern. The best part about this project (in my opinion) is that you can use the techniques to create beautiful, handmade pillow covers for every holiday and season.
I even show you how to cut a square of fabric the Kimba Way (not perfect but good enough). If you’ve ever tried to cut a large square of fabric without an L-square and a cutting mat, you know it can be hard.
Last Christmas, I sold quite a few of these Rustic Burlap Table Runners from my blog and from my etsy shop. This year, I’m giving you all the details so you can make one (or 20) yourself! You can use the printable “Noel” template to make one exactly like mine or you can get even more creative and come up with your own design. You can make them for every holiday! I’ve given a few as gifts and they’re always a HUGE hit.
I also give you my all-time favorite tip for cutting burlap in a straight line.
You’ll also be able to make the Biggest, Fluffiest, Most Beautiful (didn’t-pay-Pottery-Barn-$100-for-it) Wreath ever. You’re also going to love the Rustic Jute Christmas Trees and the gorgeous Moss Wreath Trio.
And since I can’t resist getting personal with you, I also share some stories about Christmas at my home. Things like my Christmas morning breakfast casserole recipe, how we keep Christmas day sane and what we do with all those Christmas cards.
Every word in this eBook was written by me (hence the grammatical errors and run-on sentences) and every picture was taken by my own camera. The book was beautifully designed by my friend, Tim Layton (former of Remodeling Guy).
A million thank-yous to all of you who have already downloaded A Very Kimba Christmas. I am so appreciative of your support. From your comments and emails, it sounds like people really like it! This book was definitely a labor of love and I honestly can’t believe that I managed to finish it.

Thanks for posting about this! Will definitely be adding this to my Christmas list, love that table runner!
Will you be able to do the DIY day recap from last week at all? Maybe at the start of DIY day’s post or some other time? I love seeing your picks, it’s so overwhelming to have all 250 to look through. Understand you’re busy though. Blessings!

I always love your projects! I love that burlap runner and the snowflake pillow is adorable. Hope you had a great weekend!

Kimba, your eBook is wonderful! It’s definitely worth every penny of the $8. It’s such a fun read, and your tutorials are great. I’ll be honest, though–I’d pay a lot more than $8 for the chance to sit with you at your table and do these projects together. You can keep that idea in mind in case you ever need big bucks. Our school has a yearly auction to raise money, and “Headmaster for a Day” is always a big money-raiser. You could do “Kimba’s Craft Buddy for a Day,” and we could all try to out-bid one another.

Congratulations to the winners!
And I can’t wait to download that e-book. Our Women’s Christmas party is this Friday and I’m SURE there are some ideas for my table in there. For the first time in years, I am at a loss for what to do! Here’s hoping you’ll have the perfect idea in there for me! No pressure.

Your posts always make me smile! I love all the run on sentences and every grammatical error. I would really love to download your e-book, but I have a newborn and will not be crafting any time soon. I would probably fall asleep anyway,
