Obi-inspired Hot and Cold Pack

When I received One Yard Wonders in the mail I was excited to get started dwindling my fabric stash. We've been using rice packs for extra warmth around here this last week as it's gotten colder. I love heating it up and warming up the sheets before I crawl in at night.

When I saw the Obi-Inspired Hot and Cold Pack pattern I knew it was the first thing I wanted to make. It was very easy and I made it within a couple hours. There is a pocket with the ties and then you make a hot/cold rice pack to put inside of it. So nice to craft something for myself. I love crafting for others but it was a fun project for me :)

Favorite Children's Books: Christmas Edition



It's always fun pulling out the Christmas books when we unpack the Christmas decorations. Some of our favorites:

Bear Stays Up For Christmas by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman (all of these Bear... books are wonderful!)

Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett

J is For Jesus by Crystal Bowman

Peter Spier's Chrismas! by Peter Spier (no words in this book but lovely pictures that let you tell your own story).

Any Christmas favorites in your family?


DPP: December 8 and finally finished pajamas.

December Photo Project
Finally, finished pajamas! I had started these way back here. I finally finished the shirts with freezer paper stenciling. I will definitely be doing this again because it was very easy and I really like the results.
An accomplishment worthy of the December Photo Project.
