in the eyes of my children


if my kids were to design our Christmas card this year, this would be it.
in fact, this is it.
this is all you are getting.
(not sending cards while trying to move.  forgive us.)
please....enjoy!

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

what not who (cover your kids eyes, please)

We won't be going home for Christmas after all (insert cliff hanger).  This decision was made about two days before our 1700 mile drive.
I am hoping to get everything in the mail in time.......
For now, though, I will show you what I've made, but not for who!

(Now that I am trying to find all the links to instructions, inspiration, and tutorials, I can't find half of the them!)

1 & 2. My go to pattern


1. "can't find the link to the flower" hat (hat from $ store, flower by me)
2."can't find the pattern" crocheted hat
3. Pretty ("that doesn't match," according to Paul.  No, it doesn't, but I like it.) ruffled skirt.
4. What is that weird "t" thing?  A travel high chair, of course!


lots and lots of headbands
(plastic $ store headbands wrapped in fabric scraps w/ fake, crocheted, and fabric flowers)

ruffles and balls
lots and lost of scarfs

A couple stocking stuffers for the 2 little ones who still think we are going to the Grandmas and the Grandpas for Christmas.  Not sure when to break the news....Christmas Day, maybe???

Storybook Cape and Muff GROSGRAIN GIVEAWAY!!!!

awesomenss part II


my sewing machine.
broken.
too bad i wasn't sewing binding.
it would have made the perfect title.
too good that all the Christmas sewing is done...sort of.
too bad it will cost more to fix than it's retail value.
