Pretty Christmas Things

I've been visiting lots of sweet little blogs for tutorials so that part of my Christmas is handmade, and oh! the pretty things there are! Here are some projects that made the top of my list...and are in production now...and a bonus, their blogs are must reads!

1. This gathered clutch by Noodlehead. Don't look if you are a girl in my family... *wink*
2. This felt circle garland on the mantel by Living with Punks.   Oh, how I love her blog. And I love the title. I call Little Miss my punks all the time.
3. The polka dot stockings are precious too. I think my kitties need one, don't you?
4. These felt trees from AllSorts. Look how sweet and jolly their blog is dressed for Christmas. You can't help but be inspired and joyful!
5. We have a large family gathering for my mom's side of the family, and I think the little ones would love this Paper City from Made by Joel. And, he has downloads for accessories so the boys can drive cars while the girls make the people pretty. That should be a little bit of a distraction while they wait to open gifts!

The house is all decorated in vintage Christmas goodies, so I will take some pictures and share tomorrow. What's on your list to make? I would love to find out!

Thanks for adding feathers to my nest! Have a wonderful day!

How Feed the Birdies flew in....

Once upon a time two little boys ate Happy Meals in the middle seat of a Ford minivan. Not quite willing to eat the last few fries, they launched them out the door screaming, "feed the birdies!!" And so my journal of a road through motherhood and wifedom, with a little bit of crafting on the side...where everybirdy gets a french fry. And we're all happy about it.
