Christmas Wood Craft

Another craft that Daniel and I decided to recreate for a Christmas gift this year. This one was for my mom and dad:

It was one of my favorite projects so far. We covered our dining room table with plastic wrap and let Madilyn help us with all of the painting! Daniel did the cutting and the sanding, we all painted and I added the finishing touches:) A great family project~!

Blessings…

Daniel and I decided to make all of our Christmas gifts this year. Here is what we came up with for my in laws:

Brody’s Monkey Quilt

A special quilt for a very special little boy…
DSC01645
I started working on this quilt early this summer and intended on giving it as a baby shower gift. Needless to say, thanks to an exhausting pregnancy, I finally delivered it now that little Brody is 4 months old. Better late than never I guess:)

Madilyn’s Cinderella Dress


DSC01602 - Copy
When Madilyn said she wanted to be a princess for Halloween I began searching blogs for ideas. I didn’t have to look farther than my favorite blog, Make It and Love It where I found this Tutorial. Ten trips to Jo-Anns and about 15 hours of sewing later, I created this:

Now really, can you tell the difference between this Cinderella and the real one?? I sure can’t:) Now only one problem left…how am I going to get it off of her?

Burp Cloths and Baby Showers!

So when my sister-in-law asked me if we could make gifts for a friend of ours that is expecting twins, what else could I say but “YES!”
We started with these super cute burp cloths:

Baby Hooded Towels

These little towels are a definite must-have! I have made 2 of them for Madilyn now and intend to make several more! They are perfect for the beach or pool. The ones you buy in the store are sooooo tiny! These are nice and big so they wrap all the way around my little girl! SO CUTE!

I added a bow onto this one….just because that’s what I do….
