Jer’s apron, alas, is not masculine at all. I made to from Winnie-the-pooh curtains. However, if you make a black one it may look like a grilling apron.
This year I’ve decided to crochet some gifts: jacket with hood for Timmy, hat and slippers for Jer, vest for my mom, etc. And I’m “toying” with the idea of having Daniel cut wood squares for a matching game for Jer. I’d paint letters (uppercase to match lowercase, and/or matching shapes and/or colors). When he’s a little older it can turn into the memory game. Oh, and sock puppets. Do you have any good ideas for making sock puppets?

Like I said on Twitter the other day, I’d love to join you but I work on those days. So I’ll do my crafting on weekends. I just want to make some reusable fabric gift bags, nothing complicated. I have bought most of my gifts already. I got several copies of Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover book for a few young family members when Dave was having his $9.99 sale. Also, when I was in Brazil on my mission trip, I bought some handmade things at the local craft market (everything was so economical!). So I did pretty well, financially speaking, for Christmas gifts. I just have to make those gift bags… hmmm.

My dad wears aprons all the time! Just leave off the ruffles and flowers.

Noah, he loves to help me cook, but hates getting messy! Maybe I could make a car on it or something? Yeah, I’ve never seen one either…

And I’d LOVE to have marshmallows all over the house… Have I mentioned we have a history with mice?

a masculine apron? i’ll have to see it to believe it.

and i think you should make benjamin a mini marshmallow gun. all you need is pvc pipe…i’m sure you could find a blueprint online for how to assemble it. he’d love it.

I used this tutorial to make my son a cape. I made mine a little shorter and it turned out great!

I don’t know what I’ll be able to accomplish from this list. But yeah, my love language is gifts. And I’m also trying to compensate, since we’ve always done store-bought Christmases… I hope they like what I make them this year!
