Frosty's Cousin

Last year I made a snowman "Frosty".  It's from a pattern found online.  I believe it's a lion brand pattern.  He was given away in a gift exchange by the kids.  This year "Frosty's" cousin has come to live with us.  Welcome!

Sneaky Elves

Our little sneaky elves have been up to no good the last few days. One morning we found they had gotten a game out and were playing. Then unfortunately they caught Little Bit's cold and were found tucked in with supplies. Yesterday we found them trying on Ashley's earrings. They are obviously on the mend since they've now been caught trying to make cookies. Wonder what will be next.

Tree is up

Good job on the tree guys.

Baking Fun

Cutest holiday bakers ever.

Little Boy crafting

Ornaments

Little Bit's homemade ornaments made of felt. You go girl!

Jewelry Bags

As my oldest makes earrings for sale and gifting a need for cute bags arose. When buying them already made the cost added up quick. Me being always thrifty decided to make my own. A complete knock off and these even have some sequins. Fabulous!! Little does she know I made her some cute hot pink ones for Xmas!!

Holiday Tote

Every knitter needs a holiday tote to carry around their holiday knitting projects. When I finally got Little Bit off my sewing machine I made myself one. I hadn't done any appliqué work in about 7 years so it took a little practice to get in the swing of things. I later boxed the corners of the bag for a more finished look. I love it!

Little Bit's Santa

Little Bit designed and crocheted her own Santa. She wrote down her pattern and made a second one for her brother. Very cute.

Wreath

The kids and I bought and decorated a new wreath for the door. Complete with candies, birds, and shells!

Finished Advent

Advent is done.  The kids used puffy paints and wrote in the numbers.  They also made
the little cards with strings for the pockets.  Such good helpers.

Freddy and Eddy

The kids decided we needed two elves in our home. One for each of them. I whipped out another one, this time using a dark green and red instead of the light green. As the kids did their schoolwork this morning the elves sat and watched. Their names are Freddy and Eddy.
