What we've been up to

Okay so I know I haven't posted in so long you might have given up on me. But if you haven't here are a few pictures of what's been going on around here.

Our Christmas was magical and worth the two months of sewing and preping to get it ready. Santa brought desks, games and a much anticipated rocking horse.
I loved making this felt food for Lydia. I know the picture is terrible but it gives you the idea anyway.

My other big sewing project was this car mat for Peter. It wouldn't have gotten done without Daniel's help. I thought it turned out okay but on Christmas morning when Peter went right to it I felt all the work was worth it.
I also sewed all the kids two pairs of pajama pants and put pieces of their fabric on t-shirts to match. I just realized today that I didn't even take a picture of the kids in them on Christmas eve. My mother would be disappointed. Sorry mom.

Besides all the sewing, I've found a new hobby. COUPONING! Here is a sample of my work for your enjoyment....

I used to buy this for $5.

Now I get this for $5!!!!
Hopefully in a few months I'll figure out how to get it for FREE!!!!!

Anyway Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all!

Cute food and mat!! I'm so glad you found couponing there - I loved it in Colorado but it has not been the same here in Utah. It's SO addicting! Have fun! Glad you are all doing so well!

Wow! You're amazing! I've made a few felt foods, but not an entire pantry of them! :) p.s. could you share your secrets to using coupons? Glad you're doing well in Michigan. Do you have our blog address already?
