A CHRISTMAS COUNT DOWN FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

This year I made a small Christmas count down for Tony's brothers and sisters as well as my own. That should have been 8 but I'm seriously a blonde ..............
I made 10! I counted Tony and myself in the mix! lol

Oh well, ...... that will make a nice gift for some one else.

When Christmas comes, there is always someone that I forget and sure enough, the extra two came in handy!

SUGAR COOKIES ANYONE ?

Sugar cookies are the easiest felt food to make!
Pretty and fun to make and they look good enough to eat!
Yummy!

FELT DAGWOOD SANDWICH ~

I wanted to make a sandwich out of felt. 2 slices of bread and all the fixins!
I made a leaf of romaine lettuce, a couple of tomatoes and a slice of turkey!
Then I decided it needed some cheese!

My bread slices looked like the jumbo ones that are good for french toast! lol

Anyway, by the time it was put together it was definitely a "Dagwood"!

Good luck wrapping your mouth around this meal! lol

CHRISTMAS PILLOWS FOR 2010

This year I made all the kids ( all 12 of them) a family pillow! I saw the stitchery pattern in a quilting store and I loved it!

I got some pretty white fabric's (fat quarters) with a pattern on them and some backing. I used a embroidery hoop and started the stitching. After about 5 of them I decided to put together one pillow to see if I liked it. I DID!
I sewed the ruffle on the front of the pillow .........

Then with the right side of the fabric facing the ruffle and the right side of the pillow I stitched around the rectangle leaving about 6 inches open.

I then turned it inside out and used a thin dowel to push out the corners.

Then I stuffed them!

And Whala! A simple stitch but a beautiful message!

All 12 finished and ready to wrap! Merry Christmas kids!

MORE FELT FOOD!

I made another burger and fries and put them in the boxes that ya get from McDonald's!
The burger was too big for the box! Guess I made a Giant Whopper instead of a Quarter Pounder! haha

I also put the pizza I made in a Little Caesar's box but obviously I need to made a bigger pizza!!

Next on my list!

THE SANTA

REMEMBER .... a few posts ago I said I would post the Santa I made when I dug him out of all the Christmas decor! Well, whala! I got him out!
I made 13 of these little guys for the kids at Christmas about 4 years ago! We put $100 dollar bill in the stocking that Santa holds. It was a pretty cute gift if I do say so myself!

Santa's face up close and personal!

It's so nice to go to the kids homes and see him displayed!
