Merry Christmas!

Hello!
I am sorry for not writing. It has been hard to find words. I have been holding my kids closer and spend more time with my family, texting less and enjoying the small things in life.
I am back and so excited about sharing more with you!
 The girls and I did finish their Christmas Dolls with the Advent Calendar. I have to admit we got into a grove and finished them early. I wish, I had made one for me too.
My oldest, Miss Penguin, really got into the details of her doll.
She added a heart name tag on the doll's skirt.
I thought that was so smart and it was all her idea. Of course little sister had to have that too.
I made a few handmade Christmas gifts I wanted to share... 
I etched this Pyrex pan with a product called Etch All. I used my Silhouette to cut out the decal design, placed the vinyl where I wanted the design to go and then placed Etch All cream over it for 15 minutes. Wash the surface and you have your design on the glass. Here is a great tutorial on how to DIY. This was so easy!!! I wish I figured this out before Dec. 24th. Hehehe:)
I made this scarf by double knitting it on a rectangular loom. It was so soft! 
For Christmas, I received Boots! Not just one pair, which is all that I asked for, but two pair (brown and black)!!! I had no idea how much it can help your wardrobe!!! I can wear my spring time skirts/dresses with leggings/hose and layers. They are so warm! Now, I can make myself some boot cuffs, smiles! I think I might sew a few more Schoolhouse Tunics and Tova Tops too. Our December giveaway will be coming soon so look out for it. 
Enjoy the small things in life!

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....
