Completed Projects

I finished some stitching last night! MiMi's stocking is finished and now needs to be sewn into a stocking shape.

I realized I had forgotten the beads and charms when I was taking this picture so I quickly sewed them on and it is ready to finish off.

Now I can start on the dishtowels that I have been saving for over a year, and the new ones I got for christmas. To practice I stitched up a couple of hankerchiefs.

I used Designs I found on Bad Bird

MIA

We have been having so much fun over the holidays that I have neglected the blog. I also have been busy making a heap of christmas gifts. The total included at least 8 little girls aprons, 6 bibs, 2 nightgowns, 2 dresses, 3 purses, 3 soft alphabets in bags, 2 pajama pants, 5 sets of hot pads, 12+ hair clippies, 5 crayon roll-ups, 1 monogram for a lunch box, 3 pairs altered PJs (imogene, xander and jack), and a bunch of gift bags to hold it all. I still have lunch boxes to "un-monogram", some pot holders in progress, a shirt to finish for me, a pattern for a couple of shirts for me, Adam's pj shorts, and I want to embroider little designs on flour sack dishtowels but I have to finish MiMi's cross stiched stocking first. And I need to make some progress on Xander's stocking as he is asking me when I will work on his.

Soldier Hollow

I had some older pictures kicking around that I wanted to get up so here they are:

An evening of tubing of Soldier Hollow with the Tayler family.

I HATE tubing so I didn't get a ticket for me, but the kids had a great time going down with Adam, Josh & Kayce, Nephi & Mercedes, and Hannah.

I know it's dark so you can't really see who is who just trust me when I say that they are family!

Imogene

MiMi

She couldn't go down the hill, but she had a great time being pulled around at the bottom of the hill. The only time she got cold was when she kept wiggling her fingers out of her gloves and her snowsuit.
