sew merry and bright

Christmas was a blast! From sporting the swimwear on Christmas Eve day to loads of gifts from the big guy to Jason's Deli with cousin Abigail...we are pooped! Check out the "sew cute" crayon roll I made for Gracie. We exchange names within our family for homemade gifts. Here's what Gracie got...


Stole the idea from my sweet cousin-in-law Elizabeth. She made these and linked the directions on her blog. Check it out here. Her skills are amazing and her new baby girl is going to be dressed in style:) {Snoop around enough and you can find the gorgeous dresses she made. }
This would've been cuter if my peeps had some pinking shears for me to do the zigzag cut on the top. I take the effort to run the dang machine and can't find ANYONE to mooch scissors off of! Thanks Hil. I'll get them from you later:)
Here's what some of the neighbors got. Cute little candy cane jars. Should've made one for us.
Here's what I got. Bright and shiny...

KitchenAid attachment

for making yummy fresh pasta. This, along with the extra dark chocolates...Heaven.

Cool pasta maker! I got a shiny new stainless submersible blending wand! Soup and purees are gonna be a breeze!;) To some it's a chore, to us it's a joy! Love ya!

I love the crayon roll! That is so cool that you make your own pasta. I bet it tastes WAY better than store-bought.

That pasta looks too pretty to eat. I think you should donate it to the sea--it would make lovely mermaid hair.

That's a great tradition you have of homemade presents. How nice of Santa to bring you an attachment for your Kitchen Aid. You definitely are the go to lady for learning how to make everything! I'm glad you had a great Christmas!
