Now that Christmas is over - I can share the "made gift" I made for my brother-in-law this year. #threats #subversivecrossstitch

I always try to make at least one of our White Elephant gifts each year. The giant strawberry ended up coming back with us in the end. My kids insisted it needed a face so it would look like a Shopkins #foodwithfaces #shopkins #giantstrawberry #whiteelephant #knitstagram #knitting #handmadeheartfelt

As part of the kindergarten's "12 Stories of Christmas" - I read "The Littlest Elf" and then each child got a little elf hat in their school stockings. Such a cute tradition to get the parents involved! #thelittlestelf #somanyhats #kindergartenrocks #northridgeelementary

An ice cream "plushie" (is that a thing or did my girls just make that up?) Now they want double and triple scoop ones! My toddler exclaimed "you maded a shopkin?!?!" What have I done? #icecream #plushie #shopkinseverywhere #nocalories

When you're skinny and have long legs like my girls, sometimes mama has to add some length to your cute jean skirts for modesty-sake. Something about denim and crocheted lace is my favorite though. #crochetlace #addsomelength #tooshortforschool #legsformiles

Cutest little Bear hooded cowl. My girls LOVE these in the winter. And their friends always ask them if their mom can make one for them. Sure! If you order one! 😆 Gorgeous pattern "Burton Bear Cowl" by Heidi May (with slight alterations by me).

How do you get an independent & opinionated three-year-old to keep a hat on when it's cold?...Make a hat that makes her look like her favorite character! When she feels like cooperating I'll get a picture of her wearing it. It'll kill you with cuteneas! #elsa #elsahair #elsahat #somuchyarn #disneysfrozen #frozen

This little one insisted on a knit cotton Elsa dress (or "Yet it go" dress, to her). She wants to dress up, but not in scratchy costume dresses. So little and yet so picky! Still debating if I'm going to add a lace cape/train. #threenager #elsadress #letitgo #frozen #disneysfrozen

First day of school teacher gifts. We went "traditional" and the girls gave their teachers apples.

Sometimes digital creation is easier on the carpal tunnel. A logo for fall/winter and one for spring/summer. Check out the adorable clothes my sis-in-laws sell at cheap prices! Same stuff you find in pricey boutiques! @mulberrydrive @mulberrydrive801

Because everyone "needs" a mermaid tail now....even the fish. Jane insists on orange, orange, orange. #merfish #merdog #orange

She "needed" a mermaid tail for her fox. After 2 days of foxy wearing a single sock, mommy permanently solved the problem. Plus - it makes a wonderful party hat (she discovered). #thiskidsimagination #merfox #needvswant #partyhat

Sometimes one of your favorite people is becoming a first-time mommy. I couldn't resist. But seriously - I'll cut you. 😕 #subversivecrossstitch #snarkycrossstitch

Baby girl doesn't leave home without her new "real" makeup. Made from old empty make-up palettes - poured bright nail polish into each spot and let it dry overnight. Now she does my makeup constantly without a mess! #pinterestwin

Another "comfy dress" for Little Miss Jane. Knit bodice taken from 'Shades of Summer' dress pattern by Elena Nodel (with alterations for ww yarn). Sewn skirt made from fabric from my stash - with POCKETS! Plus, she wanted a matching hair clip.

T-shirt refashion. Her Ortho only had women's sizes of the design she liked best...So good thing mama has a serger and can crochet. #graforthosummersmiles #graforthodontics #pinterestwin

Another one. Solid orange. I'm in trouble when this one's a teenager, aren't I?

A five-minute transformation from Daddy's shirt to toddler nightgown.

Teal/turquoise dress for Big Sister. She is clearly thrilled to be at the orthodontist instead of playing with friends.

Another cotton dress for Little Miss Texture-Sensitive. This time in shades of her favorite color - orange. It reminds me of a creamsicle. Yummy. #texturesensitive #cotton #thefabricofourlives #creamsicle

A custom order for my cute cousin's little munckin's 'Where The Wild Things Are' birthday. Ignore the weird squinty-smiling model. #wherethewildthingsare #babycrown

2/2 little piggy-lovin' nieces approve of their new hats.

Finished Mae's dress. She picked the colors. To make it just a tad longer I added a wide crochet scallop trim to the bottom. I think I like it even better!

via Instagram http://ift.tt/1RAsRC0

She's adorable but very picky about textures and fabrics. So mama had to make another one of her favorite cotton dresses. She's pretty excited about it. #cotton #pickytoddler #mamaknits #colorblock #almostathreenager

Maybe she just needed to see the complete ensemble to fully appreciate it. I sent a happy little cow to school today. Mission accomplished. #thethingswedoforourkids #cowcostumes #moo

via Instagram http://ift.tt/1NZt2Mf

That's right. I stayed up late to crochet a cow udder belt for aforementioned cow costume. #cowcostumes #moo #thethingswedoforourkids

via Instagram http://ift.tt/1Ya2msD

For someone who informed me of her urgent need for a cow costume within 48-hours for a school performance, you'd think she could muster a smile of gratitude or something. #cowcostumes #moo

BY FAR the best 3 things I've ever made.

via Instagram http://ift.tt/1N7kL8Y

Another project I've been meaning to do - etching my oil bottles. I wanted a subtle way to distinguish which is which. With the help of my sister and her vinyl cutting machine - I did just that. Subtle but functional. Now @stlewis.art won't have to ask me which one to use for peanut butter cookies. 👍

Whilst (that's right...whilst) cleaning and organizing my makeup vanity I needed a solution for tangled necklaces in a box. Stuck at home potty training a toddler, I was limited to what I had on hand. 1) Cheap wood frame, 2) Old ugly cabinet knobs and 3) markers and spraypaint. Colored the ceramic knobs with permanent marker. Baked @ 250 degrees for 30 minutes. Drilled holes in spray-painted frame and installed knobs. Now...to cross stich a snarky something for in the frame....😅

I made these Sock Monsters in an effort to eliminate the sock- matching nightmare of having girls that wear the same "range size" of socks. They feed their dirty socks to their monster. Then I zip him up and wash the whole bag. It helps...when they remember to use them.
