What have I been up to this week?

Sewing, sewing sewing...and...uh.... did i mention sewing? ROFL! since i am making everything for Christmas this year I have a lot of sewing to do! But i got a ton of stuff done. I didnt really think i had gotten much done, till i made a list of all the stuff i have done, then i was really impressed with myself!
The Thrifty Under Fifty thing has really gotten me motivated! So far all I have had to buy was a pack of colored pencils, and some yarn for beanies and some filler for stuffed monkeys. Yes i said stuffed monkeys. I was skeptical at first, and as I made the first one, i thought...uh... this is soooooo bad!!!! But the girls actually really liked him! ROFL! And i ended up giving it to Christian, and he seemed to really like it too. Then Angel asked for one in all different sizes! LOL! So we will see how many more mommy ends up having to make before Christmas!
So here is my list for the week. This is what I did:

Yeah actually it did help a lot! It made me feel much more productive than I thought I had been. And lifted a big weight on my shoulders!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday!

The tie pattern is from YCMT - it's Sherrie's pattern, as is the wrap skirt!

Think we can petition for another week? LOL!!
