I have been busy, busy, busy and keep meaning to post about this reindeer hat that I made in one night! Huck's school had a "Holiday Hat Day" last week, and I found out about it the night before. So I queued up Mad Men on the Netflix and had myself a little crochet marathon. It's not from any pattern, but I can't claim it is a wholly original design, either. I looked up "reindeer hats" on Pinterest and a whole slew of red-nosed hats popped up. I think I still may felt this guy to get the wonkies out, but it is cute and warm and I'm impressed with myself for being able to whip it out.
The boys also made some reindeer. I have a giant box of empty toilet paper rolls. Why? Because that is what crafty people with kids do. We collect toilet paper rolls. So one day I pulled out some glue and pom-poms and pipe cleaners and wiggle eyes and the boys whipped these cuties up.
And finally, I want to share my Christmas wall. The boys and I painted this wall yellow a few months ago, but it took me ages to figure out what to do with it. I had wanted a wall of silly pictures for a long time, so I had these printed and mounted them on foam core. I made the felt snowmen stockings a few years ago and the "Be Good" piece is from a handmade gift swap I participated in, and it fit perfectly with what I already had up.
I have more to share with you, but they are all Christmas gifts, so I can't put up pictures until all of the gifts have been received!
Have a holly, jolly weekend!

I love your Christmas wall! And I save toilet paper rolls, too.
