Christmas

Slowly getting back into the swing of things. We're getting our homeschool routine back in order and baby boy is getting a sleep routine so I have a bit of free time in the evenings. I did a lot of crafting for Christmas. Pinterest & Tipnut are my big inspirations lately.  I like to have lots of stocking stuffers to give away, so I worked on some crochet scarves, some t-shirt scarves, crochet washcloths and beaded necklaces/ earrings. I also found this this cute idea for hand warmers on pinterest and used up some of my small pieces of fleece and a bag of rice.

I'm slowly working on a countdown calendar in the form of a Christmas tree wall hanging and ornaments to add for each day. Pictures to come later. I was inspired by a couple I saw on pinterest, this one for the idea and buttons and this one for the big size for the kids to decorate . This will give us a tree without using up precious floor space and also a tree the kids can enjoy decorating. I finished the tree and pockets part for this Christmas and we'll work on it throughout the year so we'll have a complete tree/ countdown for next Christmas.
Found this very cute flower vine scarf on tipnut to make for my oldest who loves flowers and I found this cute pattern for a simple wallet that I made for the younger kids and carrying case for a Nintendo DS here.

So that was my Christmas crafting. Didn't get everything done that I dreamed up, but I got lots finished and everybody was happy. I have a bunch of projects pinned that I really want to try, so hopefully I'll be a bit more regular on this blog now that we're done with the big holiday season.
