Snow hits PDX - And a Christmas Kitty!

It is cozy! We are in by the fire working on Christmas gifts and relaxing. We got about 4 inches of white today! Our first snow hit early this AM. My oldest was the first to see the white stuff and jubilantly announce it, to the whole household, at the top of her lungs. (It was 6AM . . . uggg!) We lazed around doing some room cleaning and mandatory hot coca drinking. Then it was out to the sled for some snow fun with Dad. I was busy trying to make a dent in the Christmas present to do list. The kitty was requested by my 6 yr old niece. Born out of a fantastic fleece remnant. SOo soft and squishy. NExt is a pink elephant. Off to battle more fleece!

Dizzy Kitty "Ugly Doll" - By Aly

Aly and I were busy making Christmas gifts today. It was rainy and cozy, which was perfect!

She wanted to make an "Ugly Doll" for her sister. She drew the sketch, picked out the fabric from the scrap box and sewed the eyes on. I was really impressed how much, as a 7 year old, she can do! Sad to say, we are at about the same level sewing-wise. ") It was great mom and daughter bonding time. Are they making the eyes of the needles smaller, or is it just me?
