Decoration

Find a page in a coloring book or online.  Then have the kids tear either construction paper or tissue paper into little pieces and glue onto the picture to cover it.

Gift Bag

Draw around the hand of your little ones and then let them decorate it.  Cut it out and place onto a brown or white sack.  Grandparents/parents and others will love it for a keepsake.

Teigan

I got this ball pit off of the local rummage sale site.  This past Sunday was the first time in the swing.  She just took it all in and was very content.  Ryan holding Teigan and Jaymee is holding my almost 4 month old great niece Ava.  They were blowing raspberries and looking at each other.  Teigan (almost 8 months) is constantly blowing them and Ava just starting.

We made the plaques a week ago Sunday and this Sunday we did the fingerprint on antennas.  Was wanting to do them for Mothers/Fathers Day but only about 4 months late.

Crocheted Christmas Wreath Ornament

I crocheted this ornament at lunch today and then came home and ran the ribbon in it.  I think alittle thicker ribbon would look better. 

I found the pattern at:

http://whiskersandwool.BlogSpot.com

She has crocheted snowflakes, peppermint candies, stars, presents, a cute snowman cover up for a round vase and items for other holidays.

I was thinking like with the presents, stars or any of the crocheted items you could put a picture in the circle and cover the back with felt. 

It calls for a 2" round ring and around here craft items are hard to find and didn't think to order on line so I used the o-ring from a gallon of milk.  Had read that before somewhere.

Belated Birthday gift

 

My nephew was 7 on September 13th and for his sisters 7th b'day I did the tied fleece blankets in whatever they were interested in.  For Jackson I looked all over at stores and on line for these 2 fleeces.  I finally ended up buying 2 throws and then having to cut side binding off one and the end off the other and even them up and made it like that.  Money wise about the same as the girls but his is alittle smaller.  He will get it Monday I guess.

More I got done......

Made 15 more  bags of reindeer feed so that is 79 for this year. 

The ornaments are for friends from 2 funerals.  I got the flowers after I knew the family had theirs and let them dry several months. Normally I get a picture and shrink them down and put some inside (like in the green ribbon ones) and then I will take a picture and put it on fishing line and around the green ribbon.  Waiting for Allen to find the line--can't find what I had in craft room.

The last couple ornaments I made are from the water beads from my daughters wedding which was 5-21-11!  They are hard little pellets and then you put into water and they swell up.  They bounce and can break open.  Come in several colors. We have 1 full 5 gallon bucket and one that is either 3/4 or 1/2 full of them.  I will put black/lime green ribbon on them yet.  We had them in glass cylinders and then a greenish tea light in them with other decorations on about half the tables.

Slowing getting stuff done for the holidays!

Stuffed Shirt

for my nephews 6th birthday. He loves Mario.

Snowman Pillow

My sister made these for gifts 4 or 5 years ago. Stuffed the pillow after painting the face and letting it dry. I have made little ones for ornaments.

Fleece baby blanket

My sons friend is having a baby and we did this for their shower today. She is doing elephants but I just couldn't find plain elephant material that was cute.

Present for my nieces 7th b'day

She loves monkeys! I cut the fringe and my husband did the knots.

Got the vanilla started

so it will be ready for Christmas. Doesn't have to be started yet but I like it blend for quite awhile.

Fleece Infinity Scarf

Over on the HGTV Forums this was the project for the Friday night PJ Party. I didn't get to sew with them that night but made mine tonight. It was really easy and I am sure I will be doing some for gifts for Christmas.

Epsom Salt Candles

I have seen these before on a blog and then recently ran across them on pinterest again. Might make some for gifts.

Reindeer Feed

My great niece and I made 64 bags of reindeer feed yesterday. I give to family, friends, co-workers kids and co-workers grandkids.

Swap Items

These were made for a swap. Necklace and the ornaments made from melted beads.

Items for a swap

I made these items for a swap that I am in for December. The CD one I received in a swap from a friend a few years ago so thought I would try them. The snowflake one I got from Happy Birds Crafting on my sidebar. She has alot of ideals on her site.

Craft kits for craft day at my house

First deer season in my area is November 18th-2oth and they bring their deer to our house to hang and clean so I also do the cooking and watch kids. So my mom and I got some kits to have them do then. We would also like to make the cinnamon applesauce ornaments and maybe decorate some cookies.

I got some more material.........

To me material and cookbooks are an addiction. Can never have enough! Don't know why I like the vintage Santa but thought he was cute. (enough for 2 yds.) The turtle I will save for future use. It is a flannel and my daughter loves turtles. The other panel are ornaments to cut out, sew and stuff. 31 on there for 9.99 and there was another either 30 or 40% off. Cute for packages I thought.

For my soon to be great niece

I always crochet these soxs for baby girls. A pair of pink and then multi. Have to do some bibs and burp rags yet for her. She is due end of November.

Ornaments

Ornaments I purchased at a Fall Fest yesterday.
