Woo Hoo! Finally finished my Christmas crafts. I started our stockings about two weeks ago. They were a little more involved than I expected. I am so happy with how they turned out though! Can't wait to use them (next year :).

The pillows for the futon are by far my favorite thing this Christmas. I have been doing them for each holiday and love the Christmas patterns. I made slip covers so they are easy to store and I can keep using them :) They are driving my husband crazy!

These are the flowers that I put on the pillows. We did them at a church craft night and I love the pattern. I have made about a 20 for Squish's hair. When I started the pillows I just had to add these flowers. Love them!!








MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Neighbor Gifts

Wow! It's been forever since i've posted. We got to take an unexpected trip up north. Yep thats right. GROCERIES! I never knew I could get so excited over buying groceries. I guess that is what happens when you have to drive six hours for milk.



Well, since we have been back and I have been going like crazy to finish everything before we leave Monday for the in-laws. I finally finished my visiting teaching presents. I love how they turned out!! I wrapped two washrags and a dish towel with a ribbon and attached this saying:





This Christmas you
Desereve the best
A present unlike
All the rest
We considered a sports car
Or tropical cruise
But decided on something
We thought you could use
Finally we found you
A gift to admire
We hope you enjoy
Your new washer and dryer





Merry Christmas!

Portable High Chair

Christmas in Conneticut involves 5 kids. 3 of them still sit in highchairs. I found this pattern at Project Naptime and thought I would give it a try. Squish loves it!! I couldn't get her out of it.

Please let me know if you would like a tutorial or have questions about making on. It was really pretty easy and I hope it's going to be worth it!! Have a great day!

Travel Toys

For Christmas this year we are going to Conneticut to celebrate with my Mother in Law and her husband. I am so excited to see the family and meet the newest member. However, I am so nervous about traveling with Squish. She is 15 months old and extremely active. So I have been cruising through blog world to find ideas to keep her busy. I found the cutest felt book idea. (I can't remember when I found it so if it's your idea please let me know). So I cut out some felt shapes so we could play her favorite songs.

Of course we had to do the Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Rain drops, water spout, and sun included :)

The three little ducks and the mom.

I can't forget the speckled frogs! I printed, colored, and laminated these ones. Somethings I just can't make out of felt and have someone know what it is.

I am looking for more ideas. Please let me know if you have one!

Thanks and have a great day!
