elf #1

I just finished one of four elves (three of which will be making their way to new homes this Christmas season and which should have already been shipped, oops).

I am heading back to my machine now, hoping to get the other 3 done by tomorrow.  I used this pattern, in case you were interested.

The kids wanted in on the holiday craft shows, so they spent this morning making bracelets to sell at tomorrow's bazaar.

Even Addie made herself a bracelet :)

We also got a new garage door today, yay!

I forgot to take a before picture, but our old one was literally rotting away!

isn't it pretty?

And finally, I just finished a pile of kids aprons.  I did some major de-stashing for these.  It felt good to use all the fabric I've been hoarding, waiting for the perfect project.  Hopefully they will all go to good homes at tomorrows craft show!
