Tradition

One tradition I have implemented with my children is that every year on Christmas Eve, they get a new pair of coordinated pjs. Since 2009, I have made all (I think!) of the pants and generally applique a shirt.




2009



2010



This year's pants will be made from this flanelette I bought from Etsy. I loved it and bought it in May I think! You gotta be prepared. I am hoping to get them made soon!

This child...

...will be the death of me. I wanted a simple, cute pic of her in the apron top that was mine as a child. But, oh no! That would be behaving oneself and she does not do that!!







Lucky she's so dang cute!

What I wore Wednesday

Another silly face. Nonetheless. Here's what I'm wearing today.

T-shirt- Target
Cardi- Target
Jeans- Trouser Jeans Old Navy
Shoes- Black ballet flats from Rubi.

Gorgeous yarn

Do you call it yarn or wool? Does it matter? LOL

I had been eyeing off this skein of yarn in my gorgeous friend Celia's store for a few months, then she had a sale! So, of course I had to buy it. I just have no idea what to make from it! I am leaning towards a cardi for my Pepper, I just need to find the right pattern.

Stockings for kids

Not long til Christmas now! We all know how this time of year flies by. End of school, warmer weather and so on.
This time of year always makes me think of those less fortunate than us and makes me want to help them more than ever.
This year I am participating in Operation Christmas Child, where you fill a shoebox full of stuff for disadvantaged kids all over the world.
And I've just signed up to make (at least) one stocking for kids in foster care in the US. Sign up here. I'll be posting by the end of October overseas, if anyone in Australia would like me to post for them, let me know!!

Are you participating in any special things this Christmas?

My latest creation

This quilt is huge! It is filled with lots of my favourite fabrics. The ones I'd normally save for something special. I'm hoping to get batting and binding for it soon!

Wordless weekend
