Friday!!!

Sorry this is a little late today.  I woke up feeling good ya know.  By 8:30 I had unloaded the dishwasher, loaded it, folded and started laundry, made 1 (of 12) batches of cupcakes.  And had 3 days worth of posts ready to go.  Or so I thought.  Power went out.  It was not saved. Lost 60 features..UGGGGG.  But have no fear...I re-did them!  Andy's family Christmas is tomorrow!  OMG.  HELP! :)

Sewing

How cute is this?  Dressing Heidi Sage made this shirt...and I think my son would LOVE it!  So very Boden! :)
Sew Much Ado has a printable pattern for this apron.  Are you loving that model?  What about that fabric.  I think I squeeled when I saw it (and I may have clapped my hands)....All you mom's of boys know that when you find cute boy fabric...you snatch it up!!!


Sew can do has a mitten tutorial.  I need to make a pair to go with Josh's hooded scarf!



Christina from 2 little hooligans made this super cute apron from thrift store toddler dresses.  I think it's super cute.

How cute is this?  I love the skirt....I love her big bow on her head...I love the bow on her shirt...but besides the skirt...my fave detail is this
ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? This is too cute...{It's from the fabulous blog What Allie's Making Now}

Crafts
Modern Country Style made this table piece (or wreath if you hang it) out of cinnamon sticks.  And she says when you light the candle in the middle it heats the sticks up so the whole house smells yummy.  I can't wait to try this!!

I think this is super sweet and all the colors -- it would have looked great in my house this year... but it will have to wait until next year...Bursts of Creativity did a great job showing each step in making this snow village.

Still need a quick, cheap gift?  Mom Endeavors has this recipe for Holiday Spice Bath Salts.  Just sounds like it smells super!

Looove this.  Who doesn't wear a bow at some point on Christmas.  This hair bow is so festive. Attempting Aloha is one of my new fave blogs -- she's just amazing!


This little guy from Crafts and such was just too cute not to post!

Ahh blogging delima.  Do I post about the lids...or the cupcakes?? How about both.  Kelly made red velvet cake with green frosting...and put it in a jar ... topped with a cute free printable lid!

Here are some more tags!  These are from Eat, Drink, Chic.
