Roxi’s New Sweater ~ Part II

100_9243

100_9245 

So… Miss Roxi is looking pretty sassy in her new Hot Pink sweater. She struts around the house like she’s something special… makes me giggle. I tried to ruffle the turtle neck on this one by stretching the collar as I was surging the edges. It gave it just a bit of a lettuce leaf effect. I like the black thread against the hot pink. It works for me.

She doesn’t even look like she needs to be taken out and shot to be put out of her misery. I think she’s beginning to like the attention she gets. I really want to make her a little tutu… but I know she’ll hate it just like Ashelyn did…. oh well, such is life.

Oh, I forgot to mention… we got a ton more snow today! What the heck is up with this? The first batch is still on the ground. I don’t think we can plan on any substantial melting any time soon with the temperatures they’re predicting for the next week or so. You’d think it was Winter or something.

Did I mention… I like a White Christmas for sure, but then it’s supposed to transition right on into Spring.

A New Year’s Sweater/Shirt for Roxi

Roxi_In_Her_New_Sweater

Roxi needed a New Year’s Sweater… Soooo… I whipped this little number up this morning. I actually made another one first, had to experiment on the pattern. The first one didn’t quite cover enough tummy for the cold, cold weather. You can see she is uber excited... NOT! Does she look just a little spoiled? Maybe just a little rotten? She’s livin’ in the lap of luxury… Ha, ha, ha! Yay right! Yup, she’s rotten… but we love her anyway!

Why_Roxi_Needs_a_New_Sweater

This is why the baby needed a new sweater. Just look at that snow… what’s a little girl with hardly any fur to do? If you look closely at the bottom right picture, you can see she is smaller than the footprint in the snow. She is just so little… but she has a mighty big attitude.

Here is handsome Dueteronomy. He is such a sweetie and loves Roxi and Zoe’. He sure looks after his girls. Zoe’ wouldn’t sit for a picture… she’s a moving target at all times… well, if she’s not curled up snoozin’ somewhere that is.

Had to throw this picture in for good measure… my old chairs by the little garden pond look a little sad right now… but come Spring… oh how happy they’ll be.

More later…

I wanted to wish each of my extended blog family and especially my dear family a Happy and Prosperous New Year! May God keep and watch over you throughout the coming year and beyond.

I Was Dreaming of a White Christmas…

And boy, oh boy did it happen.

It looks absolutely beautiful, but let me tell you…

the way we Missourians do it… it’s treacherous!

Ice first… lots of Ice first…. followed by the first blizzard in a long time.

Then lets just blow, blow, blow around to keep things interesting.

It is that for sure… there is no reason to be driving around, unless you’re CRAZY…

The drifts completely cover one lane… Insane!

I LOVE IT! What’s up with that?

We had a beautiful, peaceful, love filled Christmas and hope you did too!

Dressed in Their Christmas Finery…

100_9173

Don’t they look beautiful!?! You can see the honeryness showing through with miss thing… but she looked so darn cute anywho.

So pretty Here they are again after I played with the photo in PICNIK… fun, fun, fun! I love how you can paint the area you want to have color in the black and white option. Then I added a museum matt twice for the double matted effect. Love it!

I Loved all these pictures of the little ones. Gid is putting a necklace around Sissy in the first pic. Sissy thinks Bubba needs one too! Then sissy is escaping… she was going for the cookies that were on G’ma’s counter. She’d had entirely enough picture taking for one setting. Notice Sissy not touching G’pa’s Christmas Village… darn it is so tempting.

100_9183 I thought this was the sweetest picture ever! I am so bummed it was blurred. It is so tender. Gideon is such a good big brother. The little ones love to give hugs and kisses to each other… and they’ll share some with you too!

Misty’s Tutu Slip

100_9166

Misty is a silly girl. I made her this little tutu slip to go under her Christmas Skirt I altered for her… It’s pretty much a trash to treasure. I’ll get a picture of her in her Christmas outfit when she has everything to go with it… shirt, sash and pretty party skirt. I love this picture tho!

Christmas Cookie Goodness…

She HATES It!!!

Ashelyn's Christmas Tutu

Doesn’t she look so cute!

She seriously HATES it!!!!

Oweeee, oweee, OWEEEE!!!'

Get it OFFFFFF!!!

Yup, those were the words that came out of her mouth.

Maybe it will grow on her and she’ll learn to love it.

She did like twirling in it for a minute while dancing with her naked dolly.

It’s All in the Packaging…

100_9144

The gifts for the girls are all ready to take!

The salt scrubs look so pretty and festive in their little jars with the Christmassy charm squares for toppers.

It truly is… all in the packaging!

100_9145

Here are two special jars for my Misty Sunshine.

She wanted the Chocolate Peppermint…

But I just know she’ll adore the Orange Chocolate as well.

Merry HO, HO, HO to you!

Happy Christmas Crafting ~ I’d love to hear & see what you’ve been making.
