Instagram post 2191712866134136469_245285057 I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I have bronchitis. 'Tis the time of year I guess. 😷And so, I have zero energy to do or make anything. Lucky for me I went Christmas craft crazy last year and have lots of stuff to share! ⁣ ⁣ First up, this sweet sign my son helped me with last year!⁣ ⁣ My four year old is obsessed with the Little Blue Truck book series. If you haven't you are seriously missing out. They're all adorable.⁣ ⁣ Instead of doing a little red truck on this sign and having it be like everyone else's, I decided to do blue. Well, my son did. I let him pick. 😬⁣ ⁣ This was fun, easy, and I love putting it on display this time of year! ⁣ ⁣ 👉🏻👉🏻 Click the link in my profile for the full tutorial and to find out where I got the file from!

These gloves come in at under $5.00 a pair and are so easy to make. ⁣ ⁣ I am terrible at putting together stockings for my family. I can never find cute and inexpensive gifts to give that they actually need. I hate giving things that are cheap, but also useless.⁣ ⁣ Last year I figured everyone needs gloves at it gets colder! And why not use my @silhouette.inc to personalize them? ⁣ ⁣ We're totally into the Avengers over here but you can put monograms, Frozen characters, or anything else you love on them! ⁣ ⁣ 👉🏻 Click the link in my profile to go to the tutorial!

Instagram post 2185132432436920138_245285057 I love making t-shirts with my Silhouette machine! They're hands down my favorite thing to make.⁣ ⁣ It's always fun dressing up little kids who have no idea how embarrassed they should be of the crazy (but adorable) things their parents make them wear. I figure I have another year, maybe two tops, before my son catches on and tells all of his cousins. Time is running out quick! 🙈⁣ ⁣ This file is from @thesmudgefactory and I cut it out on my @silhouette.inc machine and used my favorite htv from @expressionsvinyl to bring it all together. 👏🏻⁣ ⁣ These shirts were a HUGE hit and I cannot wait to make new ones for this year.⁣ ⁣ Have you ever done matching shirts for all the cousins at Christmas? 🎄⁣ ⁣ 👉🏻👉🏻 Click the smart.bio link in my profile to get the full tutorial for these fun shirts!
