OK... so sometimes when I see something... I absolutely fall in love with the picture of what it can be in my head and I keep it for myself... that is what this necklace turned into.... and it's all mine! The locket holds 4 of my favorite pictures right now (favorite change, of course).
Frames I painted for the MIL and Gma :) It's one of my Gma's favorite sayings.... and mine ;)
Frame I painted for my dad and put together with a family picture.
Frame I put together for SIL and BIL... I hope their reactions on their face isn't what they thought of the gift... hehe. ;)
Frame I put together for my bro after he competed in nationals in Bend, OR.
Banana bread for the neighbors... can't help but keep a loaf for myself.... ohhhh it was yummy!
Ended up making three of these... two with snowmen and one with the moose... turned out super cute!
One guess who the above gift is for :) Got the idea from a blog I ran across... can't remember where otherwise I would link it.
P.S. He loved it and it made him tear up... yes, I married a guy that can own up to a few tears now and then. I. Love. It. !
I was telling Aaron about a friends quilt and how amazing I thought it was... (months and months ago) he said he thought it was be really cool if I made him a quilt one day. Well, alrighty then. I have never made a quilt.... that's my disclaimer. ;)
I worked on it during the days while Aaron was at work and would hide everything each night before he came home. It's a queen size quilt and I wasn't able to finish it. I am quite proud of myself that I got as far as I did with only working on it the week before Christmas along with taking car of kiddos and doing other gifts.
I still have a lot of work to do on it... but I WILL finish it and it's going to be amazing!
8 different necklaces I made for 6 people and two dolls.... I found when I put them together it spelled my name!!! Maybe I should have kept them for myself and worn them all at once.... this was before I finished them.
I ended up making 6 scarfs for adults and 2 doll size (not bad for learning to knit in November)... I only photographed two of them... had the other ones wrapped before I remembered I should have taken a photo.
Izzie's scarf and necklace I surprised her with... she loved!
First hat I've ever made for Ms. Izzie-bizzie! She kept telling me what an amazing job I did! Well thanks sweetie!
Izzie was snooping under the tree at all the presents and came up to me with a smirk on her face and said..
"Umm, mom! There is not one present on the tree for Kit. (her doll) She is going to be soooo sad on Christmas day!!"
Crap.
Haha.
My family opens PJ's every Christmas eve and wears them to bed. I thought it would be neat if Kit had her own pair!
Not to shabby for not having a pattern.... and as if that wasn't cute enough... I made little booties to go with it.
The rest of Kits presents.... a scarf and necklace that match Izzie's.
Necklace for a friend :)
Before picture of a plain onsie.... and what they looked like after....
This is just the stuff I remembered to take pictures of.... I would get so carried away and excited with the present for the person I found myself wrapping it before I remembered to get a pic. Oh well.... so this is why the blog was neglected and I'm playing catch up :)
Open your heart to all the love around you. In it you will find peace

Mom - holy cow! I'd say you're crafty!! and I thought I was doing well to get my 3 stockings made. :)
Aaron - Goodness me! I witnessed you creating all of these wonderful things, but I didn't really put it all together. This is quite the accomplishment my love... I absolutely love my quilt and can't wait to snuggie up with you and the finished product! I heart you!!!
