christmas
Don’t unicorns and feathers randomly appear in your tree when you turn your back?
Everyone’s favorite Christmas Eve tradition, Pop-pop’s reading of “Twas the Night Before Christmas“.
A new idea this year; houseplants in the kids stockings.
This year’s Christmas pajamas…
fabric: ‘Woolies’ flannel by Maywood Studio
pattern: Kwik Sew K3945 for all three boys, with some length added for Iain. I didn’t use a pattern for Rosebud’s, but this was my inspiration.
I was bored with my usual red and/or green color scheme and decided to try something new.
I’m so very sleepy. Not much to say for myself tonight. We have house guests arriving with yet another snowstorm tomorrow and much more celebrating to come. All is well here.

Ian looks just like Steve. I can’t believe it! Lovely pjs. I wish I could make button holes. Merry Christmas.

The expressions on your kids’ faces when they listen to the Christmas story are priceless. You are doing such an awesome job with your pictures!

I think my favorite photo here is the embrace between Galen and Mairi!
Happy New Year!

I am always in awe of your sewing ablility- look at those PJ’s! Buttonholes, pockets, piping and all! Beautiful work! And yes, we do get random stuff appearing on the the tree when I’m not looking- giant pinecones, and toys and all kinds of artwork. Those rugs are awesome- tutorial coming?
hugs, Taisa
