Bunnies...

I decided a while ago that this Christmas is going to be mainly a handmade Christmas....I know, I know...

Thinking about Christmas before Halloween. Crazy!??!

I don't know....I just think of it as smart planning.

I've been starting preparations and gathering supplies like I showed you HERE and I have one project done.

I found the tutorial HERE and if you click through to HERE you can see the instructions with pictures - 

my favorite!

(It took me a little over an hour from start to finish. 

That includes hobbling up and down the stairs to reach my sewing machine with my still healing knee...so that most likely means less than an hour for you!)

The only step I changed from the tutorial was that I sewed the facial features BEFORE sewing the body pieces together....I thought that would cut down on time and frustration!

Now I will just stash these away and hope some littlies in my life will be happy to drag these cute bunnies around come gift giving time!

Build a Fort: gathering supplies

I've had this little project on my list for a VERY LONG time! 

I've decided it will be a really great Christmas gift for my green boy so I've made a list of the items I need to collect to make some fort gifting magic happen. 

Now, I'm going to start collecting and when I have everything I need I'll share my version with you! 

Just don't tell my green boy or you'll ruin the surprise!  :)

The tutorial originates from BLOOM and was altered slightly by Emily at Saltwater Kids.
