So much to do, so little time!

Christmas is here in 4 days!!!!!!! Time to get going on all my Christmas chores! Luckily this is a short week for me so I only have work today and tomorrow, then I am free for 5 days! Monday and Tuesday will be spent cleaning and wrapping gifts.

This year, I bought Hallmark's Adhesive paper and I am pairing it with one of my greatest thrift store scores of the year, 25 yards of mustard yellow velvet ribbon. I am also adding a monogrammed tag, and I couldn't be happier with how they are turning out. I'll post pictures later this week.

Wednesday, I am starting my Christmas baking and I have a huge list of things to make:

Chocolate Mustaches for the kids, Santa has a mustache right? I purchased the mold at BakeItPretty and am wrapping them in silver and red foil.

Chocolate covered pretzels! I am going to use dark and white chocolate and sprinkles! Yum!

Next is cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and Poinsettia cupcake toppers from Martha Stewart.

I am also going to attempt these lovelies from Bakerella

And lastly, cookies, cookies, and MORE cookies, sugar, chocolate, cake, the whole shabang!

Ready, set, go!

I did it! I made a dress!

After much fighting with my sewing machine, I finally made a baby dress I was happy with. I found a fantastic fabric I wanted to use for little baby Sophie but first, I had to do a trial run...
Let's take a moment to remember the poor fabric that had to be sacrificed before getting a winner... and here is the finished product!!!

Its a reversible dress, which after I got the hang of it, was surprisingly easy!

White on the outside, yellow on the inside!

BUT the final dress will be made from this beautiful fabric:


Isn't it gorgeous? I can't wait!
