Monday, we made a gingerbread house from one of those kits you can get at Michaels or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I can't remember ever making one as a child (My mother disagrees) but it was a fun family project and one that your really can't screw up. Austin's attention splan was limited to putting candies on the roof and then using his finger to taste test the frosting.
Tuesday, I sat at the kitchen table and constructed a Christmas Card wreath from crafting wire, jingle bells, clothes pins, and a glue gun. The inspiration came from this pin.
Yesterday, I also put together some reindeer appliqués to sew on shirts for Austin and a few of his 2nd cousins so I can continue to get practice on my sewing machine. That project took the entirety of Austin's 3 hour nap. Here is the inspiration for this project. Tonight was spent hunched over my sewing machine sewing, 3 out of the 4 shirts, and now propped up with a back massager. ugh. So tomorrow I'll sew Austin's shirt and then I'll go on a sewing sabbatical :-P
Any holiday projects that you've completed recently?
