Felt Table

I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to take on two big projects for Christmas this year, I guess I thought if I started early enough it would be easy.  I decided to make a felt playhouse for the my two little ones for Christmas after seeing them on pinterest.  (my pinterest inspiration)

  Here's my finished Felt Playhouse

Front Door (bottom half of door is a flap and mailbox opens)

Doggy Door Side

(black flap opens up to be a secret enterance)

Backyard with apple tree

  Garden Side

 (my little guy was putting things on faster than I could snap the pictures, hence the carrot dangling in the sky)

Pillows and Drapes

I've been working on redecorating the front room at the new house. I painted the walls blue and white (they used to be dark red), bought a new couch and made some throw pillows and drapes.

Here's a close-up of the rosettes (I was so proud of myself).

Little Brother

I found the cutest "little brother" onsie at Carters. They also had "big sister" and "big brother" shirts, but they didn't have a shirt big enough for Jared, so I bought the little brother onsie and the big sister shirt and made a big brother shirt for Jared. I can't wait to see them on!

Car Seat Canopy & Nursing Sheild

I've been doing a little sewing....

Baby Doll Diaper Bag

This is the baby doll diaper bag I made for Serenity for Christmas. (Thanks for the inspiration Suzie).

Full of supplies

Aprons

This is one of my favorite apron patterns from the book "A is for Apron". The original was made from the most adorable vintage cupcake fabric. My favorite part is the ball-fridge! (you may have to click on the pic to see it)

I love to wear this apron on Sundays when I'm in my dress and heels. It makes me feel like the perfect 50's housewife.

I couldn't resist making one for Serenity too.

Another Apron

I love making aprons! Here's my newest. I used a pattern from "A is for Apron", I have this book and I love it. All the patterns are vintage - lots of fun!

Stockings

A Valentine Stocking for Serenity "Jane"

We have a family tradition of filling Valentine Stockings with treats and love notes. I pulled out the stockings this year and realized that we didn't have one for Serenity. I opted to use her middle name because her first name was too long to fit across the top. She loves to call her dad (Shane) "Shanie-poo" and whenever she does we call her "Janie-poo" (her middle name is Jane).

Sewing Aprons

I had a blast sewing aprons with Jenelle last week.

I've been busy sewing Halloween Costumes.
