Christmas update

Our Christmas was fun,

the kids outfits were finished just in time,

Santa came,

and we were all merry!

I managed to make Brick master's bow tie

using this tutorial from Kojo designs.

 He also wore a vest that I made in the same corduroy than

Miss C.'s dress.

I used this pattern from You Can Make this.

It was fast and easy.

I made a little shrug for Miss C.'s dress,

I used another Sew Beautiful pattern from Oct 2008

I used a nice white cotton velveteen,

and lined it with the same tartan that was used for the dress.

I think it made a great ensemble,

perfect for a cold night.

But the best part happened a few days before Christmas:

we finally sold our house!

After over 6 months on the market,

it finally happened,

 it was the Christmas present we were all wishing for.

So the next few weeks are going to be very busy:

finding a new place to live,

packing

and moving to DC,

2011 promises to be very exciting!

Happy day!
