A Tiny Hat & A Nutcracker :)

Yesterday I enjoyed my stay-at-home-all-day-in-my-pajamas-rainy-day extravaganza!
I made this little hat for Evie. I used McCalls M4682 view D and then added the big flower that I made myself.
Little Evie is so petite that I had to use the x-small size
 and make it even smaller :)
I can't wait to see her little face in this hat!

I also finished up the Nutcracker ornament. I found the pattern on ebay and since so many people have emailed me about the pattern, I've included a link HERE.
I felt that he needed a bit of "bling" so I used some gold seed beads to embelish his uniform before I stitched him up.
You can never have too much sparkle if you are going to be a Christmas ornament..right?

It's going to be hard to part with him and I really want to make some of the other ones included in the pattern, but I've misplaced it. I'm sure it's here somewhere.
Probably under a stack of fabric in my craft room.
But I'll look for it another day :)

  6. A rainy day to stay home in my pajamas sounds great! It looks like you had a good time and were very productive. How many more weekends before Christmas? I haven't crafted a thing yet!
