It's that time again

With Halloween (and therefore, costume sewing) over for the year, it's time to settle in and start Making Stuff.

On my list of Stuff to Make:

*Doll and Barbie clothes for the girls
*Dress up clothes for the girls
*A fleece blanket and matching doll blanket
*Baby slings (all four of those will be for Christmas)
*This really cute apple garland
*A couple of new aprons
*Perhaps a Christmas quilt... except that after the farm quilt, I swore I'd never make another one....
*Christmas hats for the girls, some to sell, and something funky for me using my great-grandma's buttons

My list just might never end.

First things first, though. After the crazy busy week we had last week, I need to get this house in order. There is about 50 pounds of raw elk meat in my refrigerator still (we ran out of freezer space) so I need to run that to my mom's freezer, run errands, get back on track with school (we took the week off), catch up on laundry, and clean. It's gonna be a long day, but I'm so glad to have my routine back.

I was wondering if you made those costumes! You are amazing Julie! You and your husband look great! The apple garland is very cute.

I think I'm going to get (notice I didn't say sew!) a bunch of dress up clothes for my 4 year old as well.

After Halloween, everything zips by doesn't it? I can't believe we're pretty much into the holidays already!

You're so funny with your aprons! Did I mention before that I saw some really gorgeous aprons at Anthropologie (my favorite store that I never shop at b/c I don't like to be ripped off) - they were probably close to $100.

Thanks Wendy! Do check out after-Halloween sales. We picked up a doctor dress up outfit and a rock star outfit for $2 each at Target yesterday and zebra ears and tail for $1.

LOVE Anthropologie. I look at their website often for inspiration in my knitting and sewing - such a very neat style. I'm with you though- definitely won't pay that much for their clothes!
