Christmas Crafting
Christmas crafting has begun in earnest around here. I’m working on a REALLY big and REALLY great (at least I think so) project for my son, which I’ll write about in detail soon. I’m also trying to brainstorm things I can make for some of my other favorite people, but that can be challenging. Most of them already have a fair number of wonderful things.
For instance, I don’t think my kids NEED many more toys, although I’ll certainly give them a couple of fun things to make the day special. I’m really trying to think of other types of gifts that would give them pleasure and possibly serve a practical use. Just this morning, I made something for my daughter, which will definitely be a big hit since (a) it has a cat on it; and (b) it “spawkles.” My girl loves all things that spawkle.
I rummaged through her closet and found a plain t-shirt. (My friend, Sarah, says that Lands End has great plain tees for kids…) I then ironed on the cat motif I purchased from Glitz and Glamour at the Pacific Northwest Quiltfest earlier this year. Easy and spawkly!
Oh, how my daughter will covet that shirt. It is PINK and it has a CAT on it!!!!!! I think I might give my daughter my childhood dollhouse for Christmas. It’s at my parents’ house, in storage, so I will ask them about it.
Sounds intriguing…can’t wait to hear more about it.
My DD would love that spawkly t-shirt too. Must see if we have those iron on thingy here.
Oh, too cute! So simple to do, too. I love it
So very cute! My daughter has the same sense of style!
ooooooo pretty! my girl has the same taste. pink and spawkly would go over big with her too
