christmas stuff...

i've been doing a lot of christmas crafting lately. last weekend we watched our neighbors 9 year old daughter so we made some salt dough ornaments, a really fun project for a 9 year old... and a 30 year old as well! i've had a lot of success with felting some knitted bowls but i can't post those pics yet because many are going to be christmas gifts.

needle felted mittens and aiyden's silhouette. the silhouette was really easy, a wooden disc, craft paper and print out of his profile, topped off with some modge podge...

aiyden in front of the tree with his rudolph shirt that i made for him...

posing with mikey doll! aiyden picked out our tree. it's a 3.5 foot charlie brown tree which worked out perfect because the place didn't net it or have twine so we had to fit it in the back seat. i set it on top of a milk crate for some height and covered it with some extra material rather than buying a tree skirt.

we got a pub table for the kitchen which has been perfect for his high chair, now he can can play with his aqua doodle while i make dinner...

apartment is finally coming together! i love our new curtains from ikea. was going to make some but these are lined and buy the time i bought material, i figured it would cost just as much!
