ho ho ho

Finally got Max and Emery's Santa shirts done...just in time for our Santa visit! Check out my family blog to see a hilarious pic of my two kids with Santa!

Emery's applique design is from Applique Corner. The beard is actually ribbon. Not my favorite design to make (only because the ribbon part is time consuming) but it turns out so stinking cute!
Max's applique is from Embroidery Boutique. I have actually made this one before so it wasn't too challenging! Loving this time of year! Hope to get a few more things made soon!

a raggy ornament

Loving how this turned out!! I actually snagged these pants up from a neighbor that was selling them! I think I got them for about 5 bucks! When I was out looking for fabric one day I found the matching fabric at Hobby Lobby! I was so excited!!

So what to make was the next thing....I decided on a raggy ornament! It is super simple and super cute! You can find this design at Applique Cafe! I layered some red cord behind it and added a little green bow to the top! Like I said simple and cute!
Can't beat it...I got the pants for 5 bucks, the shirt on clearance last year for 2 bucks and the quarter fabric for 1.50. Less than 10 bucks for an outfit! Yay!!

O Christmas Tree....

Loving this cute little tree!! I got this design from Applique Market! It definitely is a little time consuming as you have to pick your ribbons and place them accordingly. You end up with 5 different rows of ribbon but I think it is totally worth it in the end!! So cute and so fun to see your finished product!
