Christmas sewing

I've had a week of sick kids. All of them on different days and each of them something different. Emmy had pink eye, Nate was throwing up, Katie had a headache, fever, queasy tummy and is just starting to get over her horrible cough 5 days later, and Boo Boo (aka Brinley) has a runny nose with watery goopy eyes. At least Brinley's resulted in her two bottom teeth popping up! She is getting SO big SO fast! :-( And right now I should be packing to go to Boise tomorrow for the Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers State Convetion. Doug (and me by default) is the District 2 Chairman, so he is over 6 counties. But I am tired of thinking about posting and just wanted to do it. I mentioned on facebook that I was making my girls some Christmas skirts and they turned out so cute. I also made them matching necklaces and barettes. I love them! So here they are:

And here's a close up.


I also made my kids these superhero/royalty capes for Christmas. They turned out pretty cute. I wondered if Katie would want one, but she saw something like them in a Christmas catalog and wanted it. I'm so glad she still likes to play dress-up, makes me feel like maybe she isn't growing up quite so fast. I had some other projects I wanted to make for Christmas. It just didn't happen.



And for those of you who aren't local, I am sorry you haven't received your Xmas cards yet. Yikes! Did I really just admit that? I didn't get them out before Christmas and we spent the week after Christmas in West Yellowstone and after we got home I just forgot! There are my excuses, and I will get them sent next week. We'll just pretend that I wanted to send them for Valentines day, right? :-P
