Christmas & My Happy Place Equals Perfection. - A Dec 2011 PTR

Started Cs skirt and had to scrap the first panel. I hopped it all wrong and it was a mess I will retry tomorrow

Sorry that it didn't work out but at least all you had to scrap was one panel. I hope that the rest of the skirt goes much better!

Thanks Diane we shall see starting tomorrow.

I finished 2 pairs of Easy fits and made my first ever crayon roll and used interfacing for the first time. I will be posting pictures tonite.

Sounds like you had a very productive day. How was making the crayon roll? I've never done one of those!

It was pretty easy. Took maybe half an hour start to finish.

Now that's my kind of project. I love things that are quick and turn out nicely! I don't have patience for projects that take a long, long time!

okay here are the pj pants and crayon roll. Definately think the crayon rolls are going to be gifts this year.

PJs number 1

PJ Pants #2 Love these

My first crayon roll

tomorrow I want to start on the Christmas skirt again but am probably going to work on a boy crayon roll.

 

[DMGeurts]

Love the PJ pants and the crayon roll! Super cute on both. I've never made a crayon roll either...

Need to get moving this morning as I have quite a few things to do before work.

I want to make a boy version of the crayon roll but I am single parenting this morning DH won't be home til after the kids are in school as he has court.

So going to work on a few things before putting the girl on the bus.

 

[dianemom2]

Love the pj pants and the crayon roll. I am going to have to try one of those soon.

Starting the Christmas skirt again when I get home

 

[mommy2mrb]

cute pj's and great job on the crayon roll ups!

 

[babynala]

The crayon rolls look great, the rainbow ribbon is really pretty and I love the guitars as it is great for a little boy. The PJs look so comfy, what type of fabric are the pants?

Your dress forms looks really nice. Good luck with the Christmas skirt.

 

[DMGeurts]

Love that second crayon roll! And your new dress form is awesome!

Thanks D. I was so happy to get the dress form for pretty cheap.

So no sewing this afternoon. My new oven was installed. Makes me happy that I am back to 2 ovens. Makes the holidays easier.

Yeah...two ovens make the holidays MUCH easier...of course spoken from some one who has two complete kitchens...only one has a double oven. This Thanksgiving we will have all three ovens in use!

OK, seriously... Can I be uber, uber jealous???? I am just thankful that I have one oven, and it works...

D~ <--- Who just realized that she must be one sick individual, because she has a picture of her oven in her Photobucket account.

 

[cogero]

I will take pictures later. I am loving the new oven. My old one was white this one is black and looks much nicer with all my other appliances which are stainless.

I went to Joann's Later. Need to take pictures of my finds. I actually spent less than I thought and was able to get my Mega Ric Rac

so let me tell you a little about my little boy.

As you know if you have been reading Jimmy is on the Autism Spectrum and for the most part non-verbal. He does have words but it is hard for him to talk.

So I take joy in the small things, we are extremely lucky because Jimmy is very social and loves interacting. He loves giving hugs and climbing in my lap.
He has recently started saying Mum a lot and Dad so we take extreme joy in that.

Because of his not speaking we have a hard time knowing what exactly he really knows. I swear the kid knows how to read but am not really sure.

Just now he gave me a pack of skittles meaning he wanted them so I gave him some and he ran off with them because he doesn't like to share.

Jimmy is my miracle. This is a picture of him in the hospital before we found out about his problems. We thought he was just having breathing issues (LOOK how small Miss C is)

This is h]im after he was home from the hospital.

and here is a more recent picture from one of our Disney trips

This little guy has stolen our hearts and taught us so much.

 

[DMGeurts]

Oh Chiara... Little J is just so precious! I can see why he has stolen your heart.

Thanks for sharing a bit more about your precious little boy! Believe me, I know how hard it is to wait on those first words to form the sentence you have waited so long to hear. The fact that he smiles so much shows how much he loves you!
