Ric-Rac Love

I like simple festive decorations, and I like pillows.

To help our pillows join in the valentine's day decorations I made this pillow using drop cloth and fuzzy ric-rac.

 You can see the nine-patch pillow I made in the background.

This didn't take very long to make and is simple and festive-all things I like.

Toddler Peplum

My little 20 month old is not so little. She is fitting into some 3T clothes-just for length. I finally broke down and bought some leggings to get us through the rest of winter, hopefully. But I needed a cute shirt to go with them.

 I drafted a pattern using one of her shirts. I didn't finish any of the edges, but I like the curl they have.

She likes the heart on the side.

The other day I made up some pajama pants for my little guy and when I had him try them on she was right there waiting for her turn. When I didn't have something for her to try on she went into a total meltdown and even took off her shirt. Hopefully in a few years she will still like homemade clothes :D

Christmas Party

 I made these yummy north pole cupcakes, easy and festive.

Each year we make an ornament for our kids Christmas party. This ornament was simple yet so easy to personalize.
