12 Days of handmade Christmas gifts: DAY 2

One of the projects that I want to make is a set of play food for my kids. To purchase handmade play food it can add up. So I thought I would give it a try.

Here is my version of play sugar cookies...

I started with some off white fabric and measured out double sided circles.

Then I cut them out, pinning the sides together to make sure they we're even.

I then cut out smaller circles on pink felt.

I then attached the felt to my fabric circles by sewing on beads to imitate sprinkles.

This is what your "cookies" should look like...

I then turned the cookies inside out and sewed them together. Leaving enough room to turn them back around.

So to enclose my cookies I stitched around the edges.

And here is the finished product. A simple handmade play sugar cookie that is safe enough for the baby to play with eat pretty enough for my girls to imagine with.

12 Days of handmade Christmas gifts: DAY 1

I really do find joy out of making handmade gifts for those that I love (and I like getting them too :). So I thought I would share with you some of the thinks I'm making this year.

So we all know how in the hair bows are now days. And they can be a bit pricey too. So I made my own version. I got the flowers on sale for .59c! Isn't that great! The ribbon I had here so really these are very in-expensive! You'll need:

Ribbon
Flowers of choice
Scissors
Glue
Alligator clips

Once you pluck your flower you'll want to cut off the stem that is attached to the flower.

Then glue a bit of ribbon on to the clip.

Then simply glue the flower to the ribbon covered clip.

This project took me about 20 min. to make 6. Super easy and I think my daughters will LOVE it! Along with a few cousins and niece :)

Trick - or - Treat

My cute little trick-or-treaters!!

We had the privilage to take Miss Abbey Cadabbey, a little Princess and the cutest little filly you've ever seen out on Sunday night to go trick or teating. It was so much fun!

Fall Colors...

Aren't these pretty? I love fall colors.

It's amazing to me how God has perfected these colors.

Happy Fall!

Learning to Sew

First sewing project = A+

My oldest daughter is super patient, eager to learn, and makes me stop and think. I am so thankful that God gave her to us first. She teaches me things that no one else can. I hope that I'm able to teach her a few things through life as well. We worked on her first sewing project and she did such a good job.

She was VERY hands on. Wanting to help with every aspect of our project.

Even using the sewing machine was fun. Shes so peaceful to me. Almost like that feeling of a warm cup of coffee on a cold winter morning. Just that feel good feeling! I love you my Mandy!
