Stockings

Christmas is a fun time of year. when i was growing up my mom had made all of our stockings out of felt... they are all really cute. Well when i got married, and after jayne was born, i decided to keep up the home made stocking tradition (to see them click here and scroll down). Last year for Christmas, we went to Darick's sister Anna's house. she saw my sweet creations and asked me to make her family some. Well... here are the little beauties, i have to say i LOVE them. i'm really into animals lately.... (lots of pictures!)Joe-lion
Anna-tiger

Djadyn (Jay-Den)- hippo

Alexandra- Giraffe

Savannah-Zebra

Makenzie- Rhino

Morgan- penguin

Dahlin- Monkey

Jayners and I had a photo session... Darick was at work, but here's a whole lot of us!

A dress for Baby Brown

Our friends the Browns from college are having a little girl in December- she's gonna be super cute, i just know it. (here's her brother.... do you still have doubts? ) Traci is having a baby shower tomorrow, and this little dress is for her (well really the baby). It turned out cute huh? I love how simple it is, but it has little touches... like the ribbon at the bottom

the cute snap buttons

and tulip sleeves.

A little visitor...

My little brother ian just posted a really funny story on his blog, it just leaves you wondering, so go check it out.... seriously, it's worth it.
