We have snow!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

So, in my quest for a cool apron pattern the other night I came across this lady's blog. Jenny has some really neato projects for the Christmas season and I thought they might spark someone's interest:) Plus, her blog is just like super-cool! You should visit her:)

Here is a really pretty advent calendar. It also includes the dangle tags which can be printed out and used as gift tags. Directions for this found here.

Here are 2 Christmas ornie patterns that are just too cute! They look pretty simple and I am *so* going to make some of these. Directions for the star and the scottie.

Ok, and here's what happens when you combine the stars, scotties, and dangles with some pretty ribbons. A really pretty Christmas garland! This one was made by Elizabeth, a reader of Jennys' blog.

And, if you're looking for a fairly simple and quick gift this year you might want to try these coaster sets. They can be done in any color combo of course. Directions found here.

Blessings!

Super cute!

Ok, so I have been really feeling the urge to go and get all full-blown domestic on my family. The Holy Spirit is continuing to turn my attention and creativeness h-o-m-e. And, because I am just so in love with all things vintage and nostalgic I was searching tonight for an apron pattern online. In the spirit of Christmas I thought you all might like this project as well:)
You can find the simple instructions here.
These would be great in a giftbasket for Christmas!

P.S. Martha Stewart has a line of Christmas ornaments out at K-Mart this year that are kitchen related.
Blessings!

Christmas 2008

This is our 2008 Christmas pic...we got it done last night at Sears.

We made the shirts last week for "art". We bought t-shirts at Michael's, they were on sale for $2/each and $.69 acrylic paints. The kids used their handprints to form the trees and their fingerprints to do the ornaments. For the stars on top, I cut a star in a half of a potato and used it as a stamp. If you want to do this project you could get real fancy and use glittery fabric paints and/or jewels and even add words. If you decide to do this, post it on your blog and come leave me a comment so I can see yours as well:)

Blessings,
