Another Quilt done!

I feel so accomplished! 2 Quilts in one week!!! Granted this was a real easy one. Some call it a sandwhich quilt, meaning the top is just one big peice of fabric, then the batting and the back. So a beautiful thoughtful gift that wasnt really that hard. But by going the easy way I sit now doubting if she will like it or not.I really hope so. Well both my quilts being finished I am trying to finish my knitted poncho. I am half done and with 14days left till Christmas I have been knitting like a mad women. I casted on the second half my project last night and im 30ish rows in already. So With any luck I can have another project finished soon. We are still up in the air about going home for Christmas but in the hopes we can I think im going to have the kids make something cute to give out as presents. So if you think of any simple ideas let me know :). Today is my offical start to the count down till Christmas so 14 days and counting .

Hair do's

There is a blog i check alot http://babesinhairland.blogspot.com/ sorry i dont know how to make cool links. But anyway She does Awsome hair and I get alot of Sissy's hair Ideas from her. And She is doing this cool giveaway and like a 12 days of christmas thing. But besides the cool hair thingys she is giving away She is doing the prettest and simplist do's ives seen. Mine look nothing like hers but Sis likes them.

This was my try at her headband one. But it was not a good hair day for sis. She didnt want to get out of bed so the front pic has a very dirty look lol. But I think it turned out alright Idea is great and ill have to try it again.

I know, Mine doesnt look like hers but it turned out so cute. I had a problem of the first peices of each chain I made sliding to the end near the elastic making the Huge loops near the center. Im not sure what i did wrong but I couldnt be happier! This took me like 10mins to do! And looks so girly and classic like I curled her hair for an hour.
I just love this one! I'm sure this will end up being one of my favorite dos and from the way she is acting ...I think hers too. And im so glad because it is so quick to do.

One more finished!

This is my mom-in-Law's Christmas Present. I hope she likes it Now. I just have more projects to get done. I havent posted much about Sissy's hair lately but i still do it everyday and take pics just we havent done anything crazy lately. But ill try to do something for tommorow. I have cleaned and cleaned so my house is clean for the holidays which is great but now i have nothing to do. So i really dont have and excuss not to be finishing my projects so with any luck in a day or two I will have some more finished projects up. So which me luck :)

Christmas projects

I haven't been knitting much I can seem to only squeeze in an hour or so a day. And belive it or not that actually gets alot done. But Still....my poncho I am making isnt done like i had hoped. But its getting there. My camera is MIA but i do have a picture from 2 weeks ago.
It looks so pretty in person. And it has a nice stretch to it that is going to make is so comfortable to wear. I can only work on it when Shadow doesnt see me pull it out of my basket. I think he gets jelous. He always climbs in my lab and trys to get me to stop knitting....Kinda like this.

Isnt He Cute? I am also trying to get 2 baby blankets put together For 2 of my friends back home having babies. I think they might get them a little past due dates cause im trying to get christmas gifts done. One is a blanket for my Mom-in-Law( I hope she isnt reading)But its a quilt top I made for Last Birthday (in Jan)Then my Sewing Machine quit working and my new one isnt big enough to quilt it so im trying to Yarn quilt it. And when you have a pain-in-the-butt cat like mine it makes it complicated. I woke up like 3 times last night just to find him unrolling my yarn! I would pick it up and put it up then find him playing with again. Well Its Friday so i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Christmas Time is HERE!!

My Christmas Tree this year. I just had to post to show how pretty. And If you look close at the bottom you can see the kids helped decorate it.(With 5 things per branch) But it is lovely and the kind of tree i always dreamed having as a kid. Havent blogged in a while my DH had the whole last week of Nov off. And the greatest Christmas news !!!! We might be able to visit Tenn. for Christmas!! A good friend of the family knows it has been like 3 years since we have been home. And she wants to give us Family for christmas. She is also the one who did it 3 years ago for christmas. Wow, 3 years since we have been in Tenn. Where does all the time go? But anyway now we just have to wait and see if Hubby can get a couple extra days off since his leave doesnt start till 10 am christmas eve. He is going to see if he can have it off so we get a head start and can wake up there christmas morn. Just the idea of it is the greatest gift we have had in three years. It excites us beond words. .....

Oh I also wanted to post about these.

I saw an artical about making snowglobes. I had to try. It was so simple I want to make more. The kids were so excited to make their own globes. Not to mention they turned out just down right cute!
