2 little Christmas ideas

Here are 2 last minute Christmas ideas for you. I wasn't sure how to display our Christmas cards this year so I cut a few strips of burlap and tacked them to the wall then pinned each card to the strip. I love how it turned out. It's completely full now. I've been pointing out all our friends to Walker and he gets a kick out of it. I LOVE Christmas cards!
Another idea was originally Lanie Beths. I took the Christmas picture of Walker and turned it into little gift tags. I think they are super cute and it took about 1 minute to make! I just used plain paper and taped them to our gifts. Very easy!!

Merry "virtual" Christmas 2010

Merry "virtual" Christmas to all you bloggers:). Here's our Christmas card this year. Thanks to a quick pic in front of the Christmas tree and the creative selections from shutterfly!
I've not been this excited about a Christmas and New Years in some time. This one will be FULL of family, food, 4-wheelers, friends and fun! All my shopping is complete, all sewing is done and we've just got some wrapping and packing to do. Hope your Christmas is full of all things that bring you Joy.
Anyone have any Christmas traditions that you love? We don't have many but I love hearing others!!

If you guessed oven mitts...

You win!! Stephanie and Peyton guessed oven mitts which is close enough to win! These are pot pinchers that I am making for Christmas. If you will both email me your address. I'll send you each a hand-made burp cloth for your babes!!

These were a little tricky to make but I think they turned out cute! Fortunately none of the recipients read my blog so this shouldn't spoil Christmas:)

Happy Sewing!

Nursing Covers for Sale!

I have made a few nursing covers and have them for sale if you're interested for yourself or as a gift to a friend. These are AWESOME to have if you're nursing a baby. They are lightweight, and are made with boning around the neck so you can easily see your baby while nursing and still have your privacy. The apron neck is adjustable for max convenience and coverage. I am selling these for $30 each and have 2 pink and one brown. If you're interested just let me know and we will work out the details!

I have a few burp cloths too I'll post those later!

Handmade Christmas!

This Christmas I'm continuing in tradition of making a few of our gifts. Last year it was a lot of fun and made me appreciate the whole gift-giving process even more.
Anyone wanna guess what these are going to be??
I can't promise any reward for the first correct guesser but then again you never know!

Baking Day!

Today was baking day at my aunts house. Each year before her Christmas party my mom, grandmother and 2 aunts bake all the desserts that are served at the party.
Every year up until now I have worked outside home so I missed baking day. But not this time! Me and "the boss" headed up to Roswell and let the fun begin!
We baked vanilla wafer cake, red velvet cake, strawberry cake, toffee, all kinds of cookies, butterscotch bits, fudge and cranberry bliss bars. Let me tell you they are ALL delicious!!
It was such a fun day. It's not that often that I get to spend the day with the gals. Walker was an angel all day and a great help I'm sampling all the treats too! Now if I can just fin something to wear Saturday...it's the one time I dress up all year!

I am not

I am not pregnant anymore. According to the doc I had an early miscarriage.
It's a bummer especially because I get excited over things VERY quickly!

However I AM thankful for this little man today! He's been a little sick and is finally making a comeback!!
