Christmas Time
I love Christmas time, but I am a firm believer that it does not begin until December! I refuse to decorate, or even listen to Christmas music until December 1st. Despite my firm stance I found myself preparing for Christmas in September... Oh well.
My sister-in-law Courtney is very crafty and is always making cute stuff. She invited me over to make a Halloween countdown thing, which turned into making a Halloween count down and a Christmas countdown... This is what I created.
I was then somehow convinced it would be easy to make Stockings for Aaron and I. I cut out the material and did some of the sewing, but if it wasn't for Courtney they would not resemble stockings AT ALL!
I also made a really cute tree skirt, but seeing as how I do not have a Christmas Tree this year its already packed away.
When Courtney and I were shopping for fabric I found some that I had to have, even though I didn't know what to do with it at the time. Courtney suggested I make to pajama pants... so I did. Here is the fabric...
and here I am rocking my HUGE home made pants.
I love them! And I'm sure I will wear them all year long, even though they are Christmas-y...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

You did such a good job on your crafts! I'm dying to see your new sewing machine. We might have to include Heather on our next craft. I don't know what or when it will be though.
I have extra blocks if you want to make your mom a countdown too!

Everything has got a moral if you can only find it.

Being a mother is hard and it wasn't a subject I ever studied.
