Christmas & Crafts!

I know I have been horrible at blogging lately... And I really want to do better this year. I realized that I don't take nearly as many pictures as I should, so I will work on that as well ;)
Here are a few things I have been up to lately! We had a great Christmas! I was really excited about all of the presents I gave to everyone. (Mostly, because I made most of them!) I made lap blankets for my parents (bicycles for my dad and purple for my mom)! I also crocheted a cute stuffed lion for my nephew. He loved it! It turned out really cute! When he opened it, he just looked at it and kept hugging it. It definitely made it worth the long hours of crocheting... I also crocheted a headband ear warmer for my sister (like the one pictured below). Also, I surprised Josh with an ipad! He was so shocked and definitely excited. (It was really hard to keep that one a secret.) I also made homemade "Wilde" plum jelly for neighbors, co-workers, and grandparents. I also got a craft table from my parents for Christmas! So now I have a place to store my sewing machine and cricut and a place to craft! Thanks mom and dad! :)
This is not an actual picture of the lion I made, but it looks just about the same :)

  2. Very impressive gift making! I need to learn how to make those headwarmers, so I can look cute when I am running in the freezing cold! That lion is way way cute too! That jam was SO SO YUMMY too! We polished it off pretty darn quick. :) thanks!
