Christmas Projects

This year I gave a lot of gifts I made for Christmas. Since my 4 year old is so into puppets right now and his biggest request was for puppets for Christmas, a wonderful lady taught me how to make the handpuppets you see above. My son was thrilled. The puppets you see above are Pinnochio, Dude, and Caillou. Then with all the other charmer totes my 7 year old saw me making over the last few months, he made a last minute request for one. The bottom picture is his tote for using when we go on trips.

More New Charmer Totes!

Yes, I have been sewing in my new area and I love it! In fact, I have been so busy I haven't been able to post and alot of what I have been making is for Christmas gifts so I didn't want the pictures on here. I will post pictures of those things after Christmas. So here are a couple of pictures of my newest patterns in charmer totes.

My New Sewing Room!

For our 10 year anniversary gift Dan has given me my sewing room! He put the storage units in the room, built the counter for my machines, and put in the shelf above the counter! I had my cutting table already, but now everything is in the space open well lit space! I can even set up my ironing board and iron. It is in our basement and it has been made clear that it is off limits to the boys. With the gate at the top of the stairs it will be free from Oliver who is now walking and getting into anything he can.

Slings Are Dad Friendly Too!

Here is my brother with his 2 month old daughter using the sling I made him.

Gender Neutral Bag

A friend ordered a bag as a baby gifts and wanted one that was gender neutral. Here is what I came up with. I think it would also make a great bag for spring! I made 2 and so one is still available!

Wouldn't You Love To Be A Teacher?

These are the bags that I am making that make great gifts for teachers.

It's That Time Of The Year!

I got a phone call last week requesting a car seat cover. When I got off the phone I realized that it was that time of the year as the weather is changing. Here are two girl ones I made in the last couple of days with matching ribbon blankets. I have a couple of boy fabrics that I plan on making up next. These car seat covers are so nice as they are easy to use and you don't have to worry about them blowing off or holding them on like you do when you lay a blanket over. Last winter, Oliver loved having his little ribbon blanket with him to play with and suck on. Now he sleeps with a larger ribbon blanket I made him and it is his item of comfort.
