Last of the Onesie Crafts

We finished our month of onesie crafts this week. We had a good time tie-dyeing. They turned out really cute!

Potato(e) stamping

Today we potato stamped! It was so fun, I had to restrain myself from doing more than 2!! I did restrain myself as my last onesie will be used next week for tie-dying. I let Sam pick out the designs, so of course we have a rocket ship. I found this really awesome paint online at http://www.dharmatrading.com/. The stamping idea came from a segment on Martha Stewart. All in all, a fun way to spend my birthday morning. Now what else can I stamp???

Week 2 February Craft Group

Today we tried our hand at embroidery. Momma found a really cute website that sells patterns. It was lots of fun, but not something I would take up full time! Mine is called "Monster Speaks". You should check out the webpage http://www.urbanthreads.com.

Petits Fours

Monday, my friend Marissa and I made petits fours for Valentine's day. Here is my half. It was so much fun and they are yummy!
Happy Valentine's Day!!

February Craft Group

As many of you know, I host our Ward's (church's) weekly craft group. This month we're decorating onesies! Today was our first effort. We did iron on transfers. They turned out sooooo cute!! I was so excited by how cute and yet so easy they were! I have to give credit to PCCrafter.com for their adorable artwork as well. I have 6 onesies left to and it's a good thing that my friend Melissa took the transfer sheets home, or I would have to buy more onesies for next weeks craft. Keep and eye out for more pictures of our decorating efforts. We're tie-dying, potato stamping & embroidering.

Of course, I had to decorate the backs too. More is never too much!!

Our Christmas

Ok, so we took a lot of pictures this Christmas. I just upgraded to Picasa 3 and it has a slideshow feature. So I thought I would make a slide show of all our pictures. We had a great holiday season, and really enjoyed our cookie making and delivering this year. A big thanks to Jenny Orchard for the edible ball bearings (dragees to you non-Dr watchers) and edible glitter! They really set off our spritz cookies. Christmas eve was fun. We did a little carolling and then we watched Get Smart. Too fun! Christmas morning started with taking care of the animals, of course. They can be soooo demanding. Ü After they started their special breakfast we were able to settle in around the tree. Now the presents are open, dinner is in the oven, and we are getting ready to spend the evening with friends playing games. We hope all of you had as wonderful of a season as we had!

Mia playing with her Christmas mice

I couldn't resist taking a couple of videos of Mia playing with her Christmas mice. She was just too cute! Of course, as you see in the first one, having the camera at her level can be even more interesting then the mice.
