A Homemade Christmas

For Christmas this year, since money is tight I decided to make Sophie her Christmas presents. I think they turned our near perfect. I made a small quilt with fabric I got on sale, I gleaned some ideas off the interned from THIS websight. I found a quilt pattern and color scheme that I really liked so I followed the tutorial and this is what the finished project looks like.

I decided I wanted to make Sophie a pair of mittens so I found some fleece in the dollar bin at Hobby Lobby and again searched the Internet for a PATTERN or tutorial and this it what the finished project look like. I added the ribbon hoops and snap cord so that Sophie won’t be able to lose her mittens; I think they turned our lovely.

The last project I made was quiet book; when I hear the words “quiet book” I think of a book I can take to church to keep Sophie quiet, well I wanted something that I could use outside of church so this is what I came up with. I got a few patterns/ideas from THIS web sight, and then some of the ideas came strait from me (believe it or not). I love how most of the pages turned out. I still need to make a cover for the book itself but hey at least the pages are finished… right?

The Frogs Tongue snaps to the flies

The Alligators teeth zip and un-zip

This Caterpillar Velcros on and off

This fish has a magnet in him so that he can be magneted to the fish bowl

The Monkey Swing from tree to tree. I forgot to take a picture of it but if you pull back the grass on the left there is a tiger hidden back there.

All the Farm animals Velcro on and off, the barn door opens, and the whole barn itself is a pocket for all the animals to be tucked away in.

I guess now I should start on Stewart’s gifts, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
