More Crafts

I have been busy........crafting and doing other stuff.  Here are a few of my completed projects.
 My mom cut out these family letters forever ago, my friend Shawnee and I finally got together to finish them.
Back by popular demand, okay maybe not, is my Christmas card.  I made most of these last year, but when Beckett came early I was really stressed out so I said "screw sending Christmas cards".  This year I finished them up and am sending them as we speak. I swear they are cuter in person.
 This canvas is my first attempt at using this photo editing program I just downloaded.  I liked it.  I got the letters here and the numbers here.  It was kind of fun!
 I am still on my quest to find ways of using my babyfood jars.  I made this Advent calendar out of them.  Everyday has an activity that we will do, and no it was not easy coming up with 24 of them.
 I have been sewing like mad, I decided to sew the kids pajamas for Christmas.  Unfortunately the needle plate on my machine broke.  What the Heck, I know.  It was really crazy, and it broke my needle in the process, so it is out of commission until the one I ordered gets here.  Bummer.
I have canned 5 batches of raspberry jam since I came back from Thanksgiving.
Oh and I forgot to show the link for the tutorial on that ruffle scarf I made.  Sorry, so here it is.  Scarf.
Don't worry I am still working on more.....

You are a flurry of crafting creativity.
The baby lids is hilarious. I want to contribute a project idea...

I'll think on that.

Ok. I was trying to figure out what that cool looking metal craft was - and then read you had broken your sewing machine...Yeah. I'm quick on the uptake eh?!

The raspberry jam looks delish! It's my favorite. Love the little advent tree.

You are SUCH the creative girl.
Good times.

You were a busy blogger today. I remember crafting, but I was never as good at is as you! I love the baby food jar advent calendar. I bet Celiac will think of some great activities! Can't believe Becket is one either. I could totally tell those cakes were cookie monster! Don't be so hard on yourself. You Christmas tree looks awesome. We got ours this weekend too. We always go cut it down too every year. I guess I must be OCD too because even with the kids being older I still make them wait while I get them out of the box!

Ok, seriously when do you do all this? I am in awe and wished I lived by some so I could be a part of your awesomeness
