Stained Glass Snowflakes

These snowflakes look great in our window when the sun is out!

I cut a snowflake out of black construction paper laid it on contact paper and had the kids rip tissue paper and stick it on.

This is the back. . .

and the beautiful fronts!

Marshmallow snowmen.

We needed something to keep us busy yesterday so I thought we would make marshmallow snowmen. We used a cookie sheet and I used gel icing to make an outline of a snowmen. Then the kids used mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, candy corn and Lo Mein noodles ( pretzels sticks would work too, just didn't have any)





Isn't he cute :)

And can you believe the whole time they wanted to eat marshmallows and I made them wait to make sure we had enough. By the time we got to the end no one wanted to eat their snowman.

Mr. P's quilt done.

Here is Mr. P's quilt finished.

I like these small quilt sizes, makes me feel like I am doing something!

A quilt for Mr P

Car quilt take 2. What was I thinking that we could only make Miss A a car quilt.

Once again Miss A helped pick out fabric from the stash, measure and sew. Another great job!

Miss A's car quilt is finished. She is loving it and is very proud of herself!

Now Mr P. has requested one. Miss A has helped pick some fabric out of the "stash" and we have started cutting. We also have in the works a mini car seat quilt for the new baby. We are making one pink and one blue.

And here is a picture for those Pittsburgh people who didn't have school today because they had a couple of inches accumulation.

Come play with us!

Miss A's first quilt

Miss A got me lots of pretty fabric for Christmas. Since a snow day extended our holiday vacation we decided to turn it into a car size quilt ( just big enough to cover her legs in the cold weather). She picked the fabric, picked the design and helped me measure and sew.

Presents for me

For Christmas my sisters and I exchange small stocking stuffer type gifts. This year my sister made these awesome gifts. . .

These oven mitts and key chain are from The Idea Room.

The oven mitts are great and I may just replace lots of old worn out mitts with this pattern.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2010! We spent the day out in the snow. Well the kids and hubby did. I had a perfect warm seat in the Tahoe and I had the important job of manning the camera:)

We then continued working on Mr. P's "big boy" room so his current room can be turned back into the baby's room. I think we may just be ready to paint this weekend. And then more work for me moving his things and getting baby things out.
