  • Gingerbread House

     My kiddos love Christmas.  They like the tree and the lights, the cookies, the presents, the fact that it is Jesus birthday.  So they were quite excited when I started baking and set up our little tree.

    Last night I finished the gingerbread house.

    That is what the house looked liked for about 5 seconds.

    BUT.....

    This is what it looked like before they went to bed...

    Hehe.  Or Ho Ho Ho.  I did make it for them and they did enjoy it

    Here is an older picture of them from 2 years ago with the gingerbread house I made that year.

    They have grown so much and they are still so cute. 

    As a parting shot, here is Jared, the little daredevil.

    Schlep bag

    This is the 5th bag I have made.  I can't seem to just follow the directions- I do something different each time.  This bag is for Carlye.  The one I made for her mother was lined with denim on the inside and had pockets for pens, cell phone, etc.  I also embroidered her name on the inside- however, I forgot to take a picture of that one.

  • Okay Hannah, I sewed today too.  I made a skirt and it would probably fit you better than me, but I am gonna keep it anyway and just do a lot of sit ups.  I like the color and the style.  I bought the shirt from Land End's overstocks.  There was a lot of fabric left.  I could make many bags or another skirt.

    It has a zipper which was a first for me- it turned out okay.  The waist has a yoked band for a really structured fit.  That is why I need to do some sit ups :)
