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.

Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

Last minute sewing. . .

I have been working on my Christmas Quilt and had a few star points that just weren't working so I made them into a little mat for a special someone for Christmas.

Christmas Tree Gift Bags

I just loved this painting idea from No Time For Flashcards. She used a fork to paint the needles on a pine tree. We painted on brown paper lunch bags added a few sparkles/sequins and then used them for Christmas gift bags.

A Few Christmas Cards

A few weeks ago I was able to make it to a card class and here are a few cards we made.

Cinnamon Ornaments

Having a snow day yesterday we decided to make cinnamon ornaments.

Mix 1/4 cup cinnamon with 4 TB of applesauce. Either roll out or I had my daughter hand press out to about 1/4 inch and then we used cookie cutters to cut trees. Poke a hole to hang it with a ribbon. It will take about a week to dry all the way.

The house smells yummy in the process!
