We've had fun shopping, playing girly games and I've even had a nice break each afternoon as both girls nap. Ahhhhh.....
:)
Already this week we've taken a few different trips to the fabric store in the attempt to get started on a list of projects I'd like to have done in time for the holidays.
Holidays?!
That's right, see Christmas is only a few months away and this year I've determined to made a few homemade gifts for the kiddos. This will be my first attempt at anything homemade, so all of the projects I picked seem super easy and are right up my "beginner sewer" alley.
I was going to just post them as I made 'em, but knowing myself I probably won't have any of them ready until well into December (I might even be making these late into the night on the 23rd....) and I thought maybe some of you would like to make them too, so I've decided to share the links to my "homemade Christmas wish list":
Felt Mail Set
Family Yahtzee Game
How about you?
Are you making anything this year?

Hi! I found you though Short Stop. Just wanted to mention that I LOVED "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. After reading it, I also spent time studying the book of Hosea. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThose are such awesome gift ideas! My mom actually made a fleece blanket just like that one for Cohen a few years ago! Love it!
ReplyDeletei too am already thinking about christmas. yep, i have a few gifts planned.
ReplyDeletean abc book for my new nephews, using pictures of them and family members (they are being adopted through the foster care system, and i think this will help them feel more ownership in family).
and i am putting together a cook book for other family members. thinking of adding a homemade tea towel to that gift.
your little ones would like finger puppets. get a garden glove, make velcro animals and such to add to fingers, and songs to accompany (old mac donald had a farm, 5 little monkeys....)
