I decided this year to do a mostly handmade Christmas. And thanks to all of the wonderful people in blogland (and Pinterest) I didn't have to search very hard for ideas. So here are a few of the projects that I did, well I didn't actually remember to take pictures, so here are the originals that I was inspired by. ;o)
A super hero cape and mask for my nephew: Mine for the Making Cape
My mom and sis in law got silhouettes like these:71 toes (scroll down to the bottom)
My grandmother got a wreath inspired by this one: Craftaholics Wreath
I also took on the task of making Hannah a Strawberry Shortcake outfit for her birthday party. Thankfully this I have pictures of, but here is the site where I found the tutorial. Strawberry Shortcake Costume from Me Sew Crazy
And I'm not quite finished yet... I still have several pairs of pajamas to finish up before Christmas day and a couple of small projects for teachers and my in-laws. So we're going to be working right up to the last minute around here.
Here are a few pics from the Strawberry Shortcake party. My friend Toni and I threw a joint party for our two girls. She is in the process of moving but I'm sure once she gets settled she'll post a blog post here. But here are a couple of pics.
The birthday girls Cadence, 4 and Hannah, 6
Here's wishing you all a very Berry (Sorry I've still got Strawberry Shortcake on the brain...) Merry Christmas!!! Love to all! :o)
