Reindeer Oreo Cookies

While browsing pinterest, I found this adorable idea to make reindeer cookies. Only when I went to the store, I couldn't find anything I needed, so I improvised. I bought double stuffed oreos & white chocolate morsels, and ended up using jellybeans for the noses. They aren't perfect, but they are the cutest little reindeer cookies I've ever seen!!

What you will need:

Oreos
White chocolate morsels
Jellybeans
Tiny twist pretzels
1 tube black decorating gel

1. To prepare, cut the pretzels with a knife how you want them, using a sawing motion. Also cut the jellybeans in half.
2. Melt the white chocolate morsels. When completely melted, dip the oreos until they are completely covered. Place them on wax paper.
3. Apply the antlers & jellybeans right away. Allow it to completely dry. Using the black decorating gel, apply the eyes.
4. The cutest little reindeer you ever did see. Enjoy!!!

Eeeeek!! A Spider!!

This is such a fun idea for kids!!!! Also very inexpensive! All you do is take a paper plate, punch holes around the edge, & weave yarn into the shape of a web. You can use any sort of spider, but I purchased this spider making kit at Joann's. You can probably check your local craft store. Be creative! Have fun!!!

EEEEEEEK!! A SPIDER!!!!!!

A Little Baker's Apron

It's been a long time coming, trial & error, for these little aprons. It started about a month back when I saw a beautiful adult apron online & wanted to recreate it for my girls. It had a ruffled edge on the bottom. I got all the cuts made & got stuck on how I should add the edge on with a border running around it. Needless to say, it got set aside & other things took priority, so I never got around to finishing. After being sick for nearly 3 weeks, I'm finally starting to feel better & get caught up on all my half-finished sewing projects, this being one of them. I'm so excited to share this because it's my own pattern all drawn up and ready to go. Maybe one of these days I'll create a tutorial for everyone to use, but for now, I'm just excited to share my creation. Up next, an idea from a good friend of mine, oven mitts to match!!

An apron for winter/Christmas time!

Hello Kitty Crochet Hat

For a week I have been looking EVERYWHERE for my crochet hooks, markers, needles, etc. I have yet to find the ziplock that contains all my crochet stuff, but I did manage to find an H hook among my sewing stuff. I was so happy because I've been meaning to make the kids hats for winter. I found this FREE pattern online & knew right away my daughter Jenaye would love it. So here she is modeling the hat for me!!

The Autumn Tunic

So we had our family pictures this week, & I had decided to make matching tunics for the the girls with adorable belts to go around the waistline. I found this pattern on pinterest, & decided to give it a try. I had SOOOOO many problems getting the elastic to 'scrunch' the fabric around the waist & neck, until I was literally on my last try. I finally managed to get the elastic thread to feed through my bobbin properly, & voila, the cutest outfits ever!!! I LOVE how they turned out! My stitching was so much better then the halter top, I'm finally starting to get the hang of my Babylock Serger. The only problem I seemed to have was the belts kept coming loose, so my plan is to run some stitches to hold them in place. These pictures aren't the greatest because I had just washed them & forgot to iron them. Not too mention it's cold outside!!

The Cutest Little Pumpkin Patch

Last year I had this idea I wanted to do with my friend's crochet pattern. I wanted to make different colored pumpkin hats for my kids & get a great picture for her business. Well.... the hats came out sooo cute, but my kids weren't exactly in the mood for pictures. Out of all of them, this was the best one.

They are such cuties! This time next year, I will have a 4th little pumpkin to add to the bunch. hehe

Happy Autumn everyone!!!
