Family Time at Jace's School

Yesterday we went to Jace's classroom for 15 minutes of Family Time.

The kids asked questions and we showed them

pictures of our family.

Mallory and I made this mitten garland as a gift for the class.

the pictures aren't to whoopy but there are mittens,

 beads, felt circles and snowballs that spell out winter.

We also made some mini pumpkin muffins for the class,

but they had to wait until snack time to eat them :(

Mallory and Ezie were counting on having one!

Oh well, I made some for them for after school :)

Thanks Jace for bringing us to school to share things about our family!

Dressed for Valentines

I've been making lots of Valentines stuff the last couple of weeks and so I thought I'd share these little dresses with you. I'm sending them to someone special for a Valentines gift. I have a "clothesline" that I'm sending along with them and some clips to hang the dresses up with.

All of the dresses have a heart on them except for the all pink dress. It's all pink though so it kinda says Valentines anyway.

It's so much fun to pick out the paper and then embellish the little dresses. I love my boys, but I could have been very happy with more little girls.....2 just wasn't enough for me. I guess that's what grandaughters are for, right?

Anyway, Have a great day and I hope you enjoyed seeing my little dresses and if you want to see the rest of my Valentines stuff there are pictures on my sidebar in my Etsy Shop.

A Fun Fall Banner

I participated in Cindy's Fall Banner Swap and these are the super cute, creative banners I received. My partners were Cindy and Tamera.

Tamera and Cindy made these 2 sets. Cindy made an extra set for someone who dropped out of the swap.

I have enough to make 2 banners so I can decorate 2 of my big windows. I'll take another picture after I string them and hang them up.

Thanks everyone who participated! I love the different creative styles and can't wait to put it all together!

and these are the ones that I made

Thanks Tamera and Cindy for a wonderful Fall Banner that will definitely make my house feel warm and Fall like!

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS: It will make your life a lot easier!

I am really a ditz sometimes!

Yes, I admit to it....quite a bit actually,

but I guess that is how we learn

Right?

from our mistakes.

I am participating in Cindy's Fall Banner Swap and I was suppose to make 8 scarecrows and 4 letter "L's". As you can see from the photo's below I did make my scarecrows and letters I spent hours working on them and although they didn't turn out exactly like what I was wanting I thought they were pretty cute.

THEN

as I'm getting ready to go to the post office to mail these little guys to Cindy

I looked at her blog

and discovered I had made them wrong

Oh man!

How could I be so stupid?

Why didn't I read the instructions completely?

I was suppose to put my scarecrows and letters on

5 x 7 TRIANGLES.

Okay, get ahold of yourself Sherry

and get BUSY remaking the banners!

Here are my finished triangle pieces.

I have 4 of each scarecrown and 4 letter "L's"

and then I made 4 crows as an extra

that Cindy can do with as she pleases.

So my note to myself is to

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

it will make your life a lot easier!

Birthdays and Banners

My Mallory turned 10 on Sunday and we had all of the kids over for her birthday party.

It was fun but exhausting.

I'm definitely getting old!

I made 14 door size banners for the girls that were at her party.

some were "Girls Rock" and some were Peace signs

and then I made Mallory a bigger one for her room

My grandson Anthony, or Buzz Lightyear, turned 3 a couple of weeks ago



I made a Toy Story banner for his party
and then the reverse side has Disney's "Cars" fabric on it
because his bedroom is done in "Car's".



They turned out so cute, they are really easy to make and they make a nice decoration.
I think I am going to make some more!
