Christmas Ornaments

The Christmas ornaments finished.... and ready to trim the tree!

Spreading the Christmas Cheer!

My new project of linen Christmas ornaments in the making. I will give you a sneak peek at the Angel on top of the tree before unveiling the main Tree later this week....

And now for some fun decor with the Spirit of Christmas....

This is our Christmas tree since 2001. We have put it up every year. It will continue to shine bright for all of our Christmas'. This year we have our first real large tree to be shown later this week.....

I am definitely needing a banner across this shelf! Maybe, just maybe after making the tree skirt, I will get to that.....

This is our wonderful fireplace. Have a good night everyone! Stay warm......

This is my latest collection of clothing for Lucy. I have been very busy these last couple of days. The pants are lined with Strawberry Shortcake flannel. I just love them, they are so cozy and warm.

I made the two skirts using the same tutorial from an online blogspot. It worked out great. And finally, the taffetta skirt... I was able to use woolite to fix the applejuice spill, hehehe. Now it is ready for Thanksgiving.

IT is ALL worth it.....

I was cleaning away and vacuuming like crazy and saw something pretty cute that I just had to share....

Lucinda's new coat

I finally finished Lucy's coat just in time for the season change. I used a pattern from BURDA and added a pom-pon onto the hood for fun. Pompons are very simple to make and I found a tutorial at Bella Dia. Lucy loves the coat so much it took me a long time to get it off of her last night!I lined it with nice and warm fleece, and did some decorative stitching on the sleeves and arms. It was a fun project!

Halloween Pictures

Here are the lovely cupcakes I made for Ricky's class, yum!!! I made these hanging decorations following one of Martha Stewart's old magazine craft ideas. They turned out wonderful!!! Then you see little Lucy on Hallow's Eve. She is so sweet, and is growing fast! Hard to believe she is just 2!

Finally our Halloween pictures of our costumes. The party was a success, so much I just might do it again!

Preparing for Hallow's Eve!!

Hello everyone! It has been a while, I have been in hiding preparing for Ricky's Halloween Birthday Bash. I wanted to post some photos of my Halloween decorations. I am still preparing all week. I have sewn up some burlap bags for a potato sack race and some colorful bean bags for a pumpkin toss! We are going to have lots of fun!!!! Stay tuned for more photos.....
