Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Button Box. We've been awfully busy around here! I have a couple of projects that surprised and delighted me in the end. I was seriously sweating bullets.


But first, the annual baking of the Phefferneus Cookies!!

Family Project!!

Ford's first year helping

 My adorable nephew decided to help this year. I won't lie, the little kids don't last very long. But this has become a tradition that we include them in.  Good thing that their parents had a date that night!!



 Dad and I were part of the choir for the Messiah again this year. Here's a link to one of the songs: And The Glory of the Lord  It just isn't Christmas without participating in this event!!

On to the projects!! I actually covered the pillows last year, but I'm sharing the pics this year.  I have one more to finish, but it will just have to wait.. I love that they are just covers and therefore, easier to store!

Pillow Covers

We had an extra tree this year in the kitchen! I used the Grandma's ornaments and added a couple of new ones to keep with the gingerbread and candy cane theme that I use every year!  Do you decorate the kitchen too?? How about other non-traditional rooms in the house??

Sweet Tree!

Final project, I actually finished the hand sewing on this one Christmas afternoon.  Robelyn from Redneck Chic  gave me the idea and the courage I needed to do this one. I forgot to take a 'before' picture of the coat, sorry. But it was one of my mama's favorites.  So here's the finished project!!

Repurposed Coat!

Lovely Purse

 TA DA! The buttons are from my grandma's button box and the pin was on the package that I received  here

My Happy Mama!

I LOVE IT!! And so does she!!

Hope that you and yours are safe and sound this holiday season, and I look forward to all of your fun posts in the coming year!



Party on Peeps!
