Good bye January

What a month we had!  It's hard to believe January is over. We were so busy and It flew by so fast! 
We took a trip to Red River NM for a few days and Alex learned to ski!
 He was so proud of his Orange Boots!
 Pointing to the Lifts
 Theres Mommy!
Time for a break!

Daddy and Luke all bundled up

 Evan and his brother Cameron going for up for a run while Alex was resting
 Going on up!
 Evan flying back down
 Apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
 Luke decided it was too cold!
We all had a great time and cant wait to go back again next year! Maybe then Luke will get to learn and will have more fun!


We also took a trip to Dallas! Evan's Grandpa was honored with the Farmer's Union Pioneer Award.
 During the slide show Evan's mom played a song for both Granddad and Grand-mom. 
Grand-mom's song was Handful of weeds. The daughters brought her a bouquet of weeds and then roses. It was so sweet!

 View from our room that night!
 So Pretty!


We were also blessed to have some very dear friends come stay with us for a couple of days! Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Jessi Norvell
Theres no better way to get to know someone than lots of Wii Mario, home cooked food and late nights!
Myself and little Natalie 
Alex already loving on her! 
Taylor was awesome at coming up with random games to do with the boys!
This was "Flashlight"! So simple but Alex Loved it!!
We didn't get as many pictures taken as we would have liked, but we did end up with tons of memories and a wonderful friendship! We are so blessed that god has placed such an extraordinary couple in our lives! I cant wait to see our kids grow up together!

Christmas Nick nacks

Christmas tree skirt
White Muslin or cotton base and outline
2 yds of printed or plain fabric
Ribbon or trim

Make a circle. Mark your center and cut

Cut fabric and sew right sides together. Add ribbon! Couldn't be simpler!

Couldn't decided on what color for my ribbons so I just took a few different shots!

Christmas Stockings
 Plain backing
1/4 yd printed Fabric for boot
Small amount of fabric for Trim

I used plain 8*11 printer paper to make a pattern for my stockings.

Trace...cut...
Sew actual boot with out top trim first (right side to right side)
Pin trim right side to right side while boot is still inside out.
Sew one side across the meeting, then the other.
Turn right side out
 Fold the trim in half with the top ends going inside the stocking.
Add your hanging loop (shown below) and sew down one side to secure all in place.
This will make for a cleaner top. 

To make your hanging loop:

I made a band .5 by 6 inches then folded it in half
 fold in half at an angle once more
 Sew a tiny dot and add to the inside rim of the stocking

 Add your bow and your All finished!
  
Simple and the "primitive" look to go with the rest of our home!

Hope you try this one out! Really easy way to personalize and make all your decorations coordinate! And if you are like me and like to change your colors often, just pin the bows you can change your colors every year!
With Love! Christine
