The Cutest Christmas Ornament

This is one of my favorite Christmas Ornaments. It has been inspired by the one my sister-in-law made as a little girl, I always loved the simplicity and the vintage feeling to it.

 

 The process is pretty self explanatory and the materials are really minimum(scrapbook paper, ribbons, fine markers, ink). I made those with my daughter and nephew, I also made one with my husband ,daughter and my finger print and added the year to it. The possibilities are really endless... Wouldn't  be cute making one for a teacher with her pupils finger print?

 

Tip: Help you kids, specially the little ones with the finger print part, since it can be a little messy. Also let dry for a bit, before any writing.

Right now I am in the process to make a hand sewn one too, with some cute holiday fabrics.

What are you making for Christmas? Any simple ideas to make with the kids?

My shawl- Yarn Along

I have been wanting to make a shawl for the longest time, actually since a saw this pink shawl in the movie  Nicholas  Nickleby a few years ago. Isn't it beautiful!!
The one that I am making isn't like that shawl at all, it is a simply project just with granny square. But, I like the look so far anyway.
What I like the most about this shawl, it start with a conversation at a bookstore, where I met a complete stranger, who gladly interrupt her project and cut a piece of her yarn to make me the little sample on how to make this simple shawl. Isn't that so sweet!

Anyway, if you have a crochet pattern that you like similar to the one in the movie, please let me know where can I find it.

Right now I am enjoying Tasha Tudor's book "Take Joy" and A Jane Austen Devotional by Steffany Woolsey.

New Braunfels/Gruene

 

We spent our Thanksgiving weekend enjoying the lovely town of New Braunfels.  Gruene is a Historical district  by New Braunfels, if you are a visitor it is a must stop place for eating and shopping. But our purpose was really to enjoy the general area and nature.
