Christmas Card Wreath

I can't remember where I saw this idea and then promptly ripped it off. I think it is a fun display for Christmas cards. I love the one's my kids made and the one my Dad printed on his press (blue with temple), and the one my brother printed on his press from a vintage plate (red santa).

Beaded watch

These watches are all the rage around here. I was asked to teach a demonstration about how to make one at our church's Super Saturday. The band is attached with claw hooks (I don't know what they are really called) so that you can switch bands.
I made this one for my mother-in-law's birthday.

Another zip pouch

I finally tried a new pattern. After making a million gathered zippered pouches I decided to try this pattern. They both are super easy and turn out really cute.
I really am currently obsessed with making bags. I got some fabric at a thrift store the other day and already have plans for more bags.
This pouch was a gift for one of Zoe's friends. We filled it with bows, which I am also currently obsessed with making.

Pointer

My friend was an elementary teacher years ago and had this pointer that was so desireable for the kids. Since we are doing a preschool, I decided to do make this. It was a total hit!

Felt Butterfly Mobile

Lydia has been having nightmares for awhile. Travis thoughtfully brought home a (nasty) dreamcatcher that grosses me out every time I see it. I had seen this mobile and loved it so much. I thought it fit really well in her newly acquired room. It is also reminiscent this fun piece of art that hangs in her room.

Cowl?

I got one of those circular looms to use to make knittet things. I thought this was called a cowl, but when I looked up that word it referrenced a hood, which this is not.
I think it turned out well. It was made with super soft yarn and will be heavenly in the cold. I actually have one that I crocheted last year and I wore it all winter.

Bows, bows, bows

I was never a girly-girl. I don't think my mother ever once put a bow in my hair my entire childhood. I always thought that they were a little nauseating. I also never liked the color pink until I found out Zoe was a girl when I was pregnant with her and it has been my favorite color ever since.

Well, since I am pro bows (because my mother was anti-bows, isn't that the way it goes) Zoe has been anti-bows, until recently. For her birthday she requested a bow in every color (thank you Hannnah!) So this is what I came up with.

Zoe took some extra ribbon, glued some buttons on the ends for the bow holder. It even matches her room!
