Making Stuff: Ruffle Christmas Tree Shirts {scrap buster}

by This is Carrie on January 7, 2010

The quiet and calm day ended with a walk/run down the most lit up block in the neighborhood to make sure the kids were nice and worn out for the night.

Making Stuff: Christmas Jammies

by This is Carrie on January 6, 2010

In my true fashion of not choosing an overtly Christmas fabric for the Christmas jammies, I chose sock monkey flannel this year. A thrifted Little Vogue pajama pattern and lace trim picked up at an estate sale ages ago gave them a “traditional” touch.
