The final gift opening

December 31st we had our final (of 4 or 5) Christmas celebration at my grandmas. Here are the kids opening their gifts...

Twin Pajamas

For Ellie's friend Karstyn's birthday I made her and her doll matching pajamas. I had extra fabric so I also made a matching set for Ellie.

60s in January

It is in the sixties today! And we have plants sprouting :)

Christmas Pajamas

I made all the little kids on Pete's side of the family matching pajamas for Christmas this year.

Dollhouse

Ellie's big gift this year was a dollhouse. We built it from a kit purchased at Hobby Lobby. It wasn't too much work but took time as each piece would have to dry before you moved to the next step. The inside is decorated with scrapbook paper and rugs knitted by my cousin Katie (thanks Katie!). the furniture is also from Hobby Lobby.

A New Year

I haven't posted much at the end of year. We've been really busy with life. This year I'm going to try and at least get a new picture up everyday.
Here's the first ones...the kids in fake mustaches Michael got in his stocking

Car Seat Recover

Ellie's booster seat cover was ripping so I recovered it. I just traced the basic outline and sewed the new cover right on the old so I didn't have to buy new foam lining. It's defiantly not perfect but it looks pretty good!
