Christmas Swag

I've learned my first crafty mom lesson.. back in the fall I ordered and ordered and ordered the CUTEST pumpkin and fall shirts... an obscene amount of money later reality set in.. I could make this stuff. Seriously. So, for the Christmas season I set about making T's holiday swag. I'm pretty pleased with the way they all turned out. We also have a snowman and a reindeer but I forgot somehow to make a picture of him wearing those.

We went through 2 pairs of our Christmas pjs in one night... I'll let you figure out why...

MOM, there's reindeer on my feet !!!

Does anyone remember the Buddy Lee doll ?? Doppleganger

Pretty pumped about his Gingerbread duds

 Ho Ho Ho

Tuck's Swagga Palace

Ladies and Gentleman... Tuck's Swagga Palace:

When I found out I was having a bouncing baby boy I immediately started planning a nursery (or I may have already started one on Pinterest, whatever). I knew what I wanted and I did everything I could to bring that vision to life. 

The ties in this wreath are from the men in Tuck's life

One thing I was set on was this cricket/ant/bug head. It was gifted to us by a lady we go to church with. I looooove it !!!!! 

The other side currently says, "Play with me"

The other thing I HAD to have in the nursery was this gigantic abacus. I REFUSED to pay what cb2 wanted for it, luckily Tuck's Grammy Jo reeeeaaallllyyy loves him and is reeeaalllyyy crafty !!!

 

 

These crib sheets were my first sewing experience EVER!!!

  

The gallery wall is made up of all hand crafted artwork and Pinterest inspired crafts:

 

Aunt Nessa loves me soooo much that she made these pillows !!!!!!!

This needle point artwork hung in Drew's room when he was little!!

 

Plenty to read for a day or two :)

This little guy showed up on our porch the other  day too :)

Showered with LOVE, Round Duece

Sunday, my dearest friends (with some family assistance) threw the most FABULOUS "Mustache Bash". It was THE. CUTEST. THING. EVER. Mustaches and Bowties EVERYWHERE! I was in hog heaven. Quite literally hog heaven after the 2nd trip to the food table! I am so lucky to have these ladies in my life. It was a special day filled with friends from birth to now. It's funny how they all just fell in together and seemed to have known each other all along. Thank you to all who cooked, traveled, sewed, glued, crafted, created and entertained to make this day absolutely perfect!!!!
