Mini vanilla cupcakes with conversation hearts on top.
Our fireplace heart garland - just paper hearts sewn together and hung with (gasp!) scotch tape. : )
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Dixie is desperate for attention!
"Look Mom! I fit in Aubrey's carseat."
Another sister picture. Sydney loves to give Aubrey kisses and hugs...a little too much sometimes. 
A little post teaser for later this week.
I'm really intimidated by making any type of bread by hand. For some reason, I can never get it to rise properly or get the right consistency. I have tried to make bread bowls before and they didn't turn out at all. They ended up being flat discs. They tasted alright but not what I had imagined. So if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. And just so we're clear, I didn't try it again on the same day. It's been a year or so! Here is a picture of my 2nd attempt. Much better, but still not perfect.
But good enough to hold a cup and a half of Tomato Basil Soup. Yummy. 
Here's the recipe to the Bread Bowls. I did make a couple alterations according to what people had suggested in the ratings and reviews. 
Next up, what else? Felt food cupcakes. Lots of pinks - they are intended for Valentine's Day. 
"Olive" You Valentines. They even have their own little packaging - perfect for a little gift. I have a lot of fun making these even though I can't stand the real thing!
Okay, more pictures of the baby! : )
It appears we have a squirrel or chipmunk in the house. And apparently, it takes two bites out of every apple to find the best one to eat. We have named the critter Sydney. 
Never a dull moment over here. : ) 
I'll post some more pictures of the girls later this week.
Is is possible to have the same child two times in a row?! Matt found this earlier picture of Sydney when she was a week old. The only difference I see is that Aubrey has more hair. Craziness!
Merry Christmas!
These are little fabric candy canes sewn together to make a heart. I thought it would be a good photo prop and a way to use up some fabric scraps. I really have no other ideas of what to do with it after that! haha. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the 12 days! 
Today's craft is sewn stockings. The 3 in the middle my step-mom patiently made. We've always had the Bucilla Stockings. It started with my grandma making the first ones. This year my parents are coming in for Christmas so I wanted some coordinating stockings. I traced the original stockings for the size and embellished them with more felt, sequins, and beads. I made the white with red flowers and the green diamond pattern (all the way in the back). And can you believe we only have 2 days left?! Crazy.
Okay. So this isn't the most Christmasy post. I was hoping to make this little bird into an ornament or something but I can't pry it away from Sydney! This little bird is from Cupcakes for Clara. She makes the most adorable little creatures. I was thrilled when she had her bear pattern in Making Stuff for Kids. I used the bear pattern and transformed some of the pattern to make a cardinal. I was thinking I could make a reindeer too. I just think they are too cute! 
What's 12 days without cupcakes!? : ) I wanted to find some peppermint cupcakes and stumbled upon a Sprinkles recipe for Vanilla Peppermint Cupcakes. Even better! Just like every other Sprinkles recipe or mix, it's very good and highly recommended. 
In other news, I'm only do one felt food giveaway this year and today it the day. You could win a dinner set and a poptart. Go here to enter a chance to win.
