Making stockings...from old red velvet curtains and leftover minky fleece from WDP's crib bumper. I think they turned out quite nicely...
The other stockings look a little better- I didn't press and turn the seams in very well, but you get the idea :-)
Making Christmas tees.....
And making an outfit for a friend to give away....Q's are the world's hardest letters to monogram. I had to redo this one 4 times...ugh..... then again it was probably user error and I was just doing something wrong....either way I hate to say goodbye to fabric I love and I have LOVED this fabric. I just like to look at how pretty some fabrics are and keep them folded neatly in my sewing closet. But this was the end of this fabric...byebye, I hope baby Quin loves you!
We "decorated" our tree. Well we put lights all over it and bought the "shatterproof" ornanments at Wal-Mart which are indeed shatterproof, but WDP pulls them off anyway. I'm glad he is throwing cheapie WalMart ornaments and not my 1982 Snoopy ones.... Maybe next year we can really decorate the tree. I tried to put this garland on it that I made a few years back- it's just a bunch of pompoms on quilting thread. I love it, WDP obviously did not feel the same.... (look closely he's hidden the ornaments in the tree only to pull them out ans toss them across the den)
He also likes to climb behind the tree...oh well :-)
Here he is running in the yard at 5:00 looking at the lights. he keeps saying "hot hot"...they're not, but he likes to say that...
Lastly, he has become a signing fool. He signs and signs... Here is a quick video. He's made some signs up like cold. It's first. he scrunches his shoulders and pulls his arms in and tries to say "Brrrr" you'll see the video goes into crazy baby mode opening the oven in a minute. Yes, he's also learned how to remove the childproof locks......
Our little drummer boy....
By the way we went to the Doctor Wed...maybe I thought he had an earache....nope, just a snotty cold, but we did get to weigh in on the big boy scale- no more baby scales for us. He was a whopping 28lbs!!!!

we have LOVED that fabric too!!! it is so pretty and i feel so honored we got a dress out of it. You are so creative and resourceful. i am envious of you. WDP is the cutest. He really is having a time with that tree.
Oh, man. I'd have a hard time letting that fabric go, too. It's so silly, but I keep all my favorites nice and neat... and then I just look at them for a year. it's so hard to cut into them!
William is so smart. I love his incredible baby sign. I am so impressed!!
time to teach Wyatt Hot!!!! haha
