Today's projects

I couldn't believe it, the bandana skirt is now doll clothes... The Princess has a large Dora doll & it fits her perfectly. Of course my Princess is a petite thing & it still fits her waist, it just isn't even close to appropriate length!

I made my first 3D paper snow flake, just as a trial and error. Didn't need to it's so simple & looks so beautiful. here and here are some good tutorials. I have some 2 sided wrapping paper that I am going to make some out of next!

I am also going to attempt a mushroom ornament collection. I have the fabric cut for 3, but we'll see how the first one goes! My sister will love these if they turn out!

I also have a dress I'd like to recycle for the Princess for Christmas. It's a size 10/12 & she is a 5! But the fabric is perfect & it shouldn't be too hard to fashion a smaller outfit out of it.

We also will be Christmas cookie baking, so we'll see just how much I can actually get done today!!!

No Sew...Kids craft day

http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml;jsessionid=Z2VFHZ5FWCDPJWCKUU2SJBWYJKSS0JO0?type=content&id=channel181245&navLevel=2&site=kids

We are going to make snowflakes today. Found the craft at above link, but the ides came from http://kiddley.com. I think it will be fun for the kids & last nights weather said they are predicting we won't have a white Christmas (oh darn!). Sorry, but when you live on Lake Erie, the green Christmas is a luxury!

I am also trying to come up with a quick & easy sewing creation to make for my Dad. I have yards of camoflauge fabric, but it's a twill, so boxers are out. hmmm, this may take a while & some serious surfing!!! He is a hunter, gun dealer, school bus driver & has EVERYTHING!!! I drew his name & all he wanted was underwear & socks...

I am also planning on making a batch of Italian Chocolate Cookies & Butter Spritz. The Prince loves to use the cookie press, so I imagine I'll be making green trees & pink wreaths!
