Post Thumbnail of My first instructable: Hair Bow Holder
6 January 2009 Crafty Alli

For my niece Genevieve’s first birthday, I made her a hair bow holder. (Never mind that her birthday was in September and she didn’t get it until Thanksgiving.) Sarah-Ginny requested something, anything, to keep all of Princess G’s hair bows in order. I had seen other hair bow/ hair clip …

24 December 2008 Crafty Alli, Happy Alli

As my belly grows and the days get colder, I have had a conundrum developing- how to keep warm when going outside.
On Monday I went to dinner with my in-laws and I had no coat to put on and keep me warm. It was sooooo cold and there really …

21 December 2008 Crafty Alli, Happy Alli

I’m so excited to have finished one out of three sewing projects. I did it mostly on my own, with no pattern but another friend’s example. Damon helped me figure out a tricky part and now I can move forward and do even better on projects two and three.

17 December 2008 Crafty Alli

I’m excited to be almost done with our family Christmas card. Since Damon and I were married we have sent out exactly two Christmas cards. I figured we should send out another one when it is just the three of us, before the babe makes his arrival. I should be …

13 December 2008 Crafty Alli, Happy Alli

A friend of ours gave us a Christmas gift of Amish Peanut Butter. From what I understand, it is peanut butter, marshmallow cream, brown sugar, and karo syrup. Some boiling is involved, probably some mixing too.

6 December 2008 Crafty Alli

Damon and I have been doing the team work thing this evening, decorating our gingerbread house for the neighborhood contest tomorrow. I’m kind of tired and we still have bits to decorate and assembly to get accomplished. And then, I’m off to bed.

Post Thumbnail of December 4th:: Eating my words
4 December 2008 Crafty Alli, Picture Alli

I broke a vow today. I have no idea if the words ever left my mouth, but I know I have thought about it. I promised myself I would never roll Christmas cookies when I was an adult.
It stemmed from a lifetime of Christmases where my sisters and I …

I finally finished our Advent Tubes, and set them up this evening. Now I’ve moved on to gingerbread. Damon and I are working on a gingerbread house for a neighborhood contest. Damon’s doing the designing, I’m doing the baking. Damon will probably do most of the assembly, but I’m open …

Post Thumbnail of Executive decision
25 November 2008 Crafty Alli

We have a case of dueling projects that need the sewing machine. And since the project Damon is working on is actually for me, I am making the executive decision to leave my one to three sewing projects on the side and let him have at it.
It is kind …
