The elves at our house have been very busy...as I'm sure they've been busy at your house too. Papa Elf (Steve) just finished making a new bed for Guy. We recently rearranged sleeping quarters, and Guy ended up with the short straw, so he needed a new bed! Steve put a lot of love into making that bed for Guy. I am so glad I married such a handy and thoughtful man.
Guy dyed some beautiful silk scarves with kool-aid for the girls' Christmas gifts. (Thanks to my friend Jenn for showing us how!) It was fun and easy!
Autumn made some chocolates for her siblings. I am sewing nightgowns. Scarlett is getting ready for her preschool Christmas pageant. She is going to be an angel and gets to say "Fear not! Go to the town of Bethlehem!!" (*Correction from Scarlett...She is "the Head Angel"...the angel Gabriel...the only angel with a name! A star is born...)
I still have an art apron, a cooking apron, and a puppet show curtain to sew. How many days until Christmas?

And what cute little elves they are too.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually feeling a little glad I don't know how to sew right now. LOL!
You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI like that you raise and train them to make and not necessarily buy gifts for each other. That is actually priceless and i love it--it touched my heart.
ReplyDeletemeanwhile, you Mommy Claus has a lot of things to do so Good Luck but i am very sure you don't feel tired because you like what you do!! Good job Mommy Claus!! Way to go!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute bed! I hope you get everything done without to much stress.
ReplyDeleteat least you're keeping busy and out of troubled...lol!
ReplyDeleteOh, that brought back a memory that maybe I should have forgot. I so remember being busy like you.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and take the time for sure to enjoy the precious moments of the Christmas Season.
Did you read the Christmas story I posted last year about a little angel? If not, you might want to check it out. I think your kids might like to hear it, now that they have angel experience!

the angel story
Sounds a lot like my house right now. My sewing machine is getting a workout and I have yet to wrap a single thing. Busy, busy...but our gifts will be filled with lots of love. :)
