Crafty Advent Countdown: 4 Days

I like this one so much you’re going to get LOTS of pictures of it!

Made by my Mom, and I believe I alone got this one.  (not positive).  Santa was made out of some old blue jeans.  And just look at that great chenille beard!

And he has just an adorable reindeer friend and a bag of reindeer food.

I found the sled myself, and it just goes perfectly with this duo!  For whatever reason, I’ve always had Rudolph riding and Santa in the front.

LOVE.

Crafty Advent Countdown: 5 Days

Alright, I’m just going to have to get this one out of the way.

My mom made this guy.  And I don’t like him.  I told her that this year, so I’ve already outed myself.

But still, a lot of work went into this not-so-cute guy!

He also carries a sign, but the sign was confiscated and put away because it became too much of a weapon with the girls.

If you can’t tell, he is *very* large.  Like, bigger than my girls large.  Is it just me, or do his eyes look a little spooked that I confessed my non-love for him?

Poor guy is also hard to store, although I found a lamp box that fits him perfectly and holds the tall rolls of Christmas wrap in the off-season too!  My mom said I don’t have to bring him out, but I needed the box down anyway so out he is.  and the girls seem to like him fine!  He is not prominently displayed though.

Crafty Advent Countdown: 6 Days

I thought I scheduled this to appear over the weekend, but here it still is in my drafts — oops!

Here is another snowman craft:

This little wallhanging was a complete surprise!  My sister went to Houston Quilt Festival with my mom last year b/c I had a does-not-take-a-bottle baby at the time and didn’t want to have a baby at Festival.  Lo and behold, my sister bought a pattern (my sister does *not* sew), and put it together just for me!  Isn’t it cute?
