I’m still here! I’ve been busy getting out all the orders out from my Christmas sale, which keep me super busy but was also super fun! Thanks everyone who placed orders! I also went to two Christmas parties last Saturday and so it seems Christmas is in full swing.
The other night nothing good was on TV, which is how I usually end my night, basking in its blue glow. I’m usually so tired I can’t bring myself to do anything else and to just be entertained for a few hours is heavenly. But we are out of good TV now. And I was thinking of Christmas projects I wanted to do. So I started to make a tie for one of Theo’s stocking stuffers using this tutorial.
I spent my few evening hours under my task light stitching this baby up. I didn’t get too fussy about it because as I was stitching and ironing I realized it is probably too big for him. And then when he does get around to wearing it, it will soon be stained by M&M or fruit snack drool—treats that we use to pacify him in sacrament at church.
But still, I enjoyed giving it a go. And I think I’ll have to make just one more.

Way to go! Theo will be adorable in it, you’ll have to post a picture.
I was just going to go buy them for the boys but now you’ve got me thinking. I may call you for some tips.

That tie is awesome. YOU are awesome. I can’t even imagine making my boys ties. Way too cool.
