So here is a little mini trip down "Mitten Making Way"
This is the template, yeah baby, 3 sheets of computer paper taped together!!!!
These are the 3 mitten cutouts with the template. Jake wanted a patchwork one w/ the two materials I got for him to choose from; mine is the one on the top right, it's paisley (old sheets that I loved that got ruined, Jake's idea and I really loved those sheets) and Baby Girl Foutz is getting the pink, tan, black and brown plaid mitten :)
This is Jake's stocking w/ the batting sewn in between the lining and the front and back.
This is Jake helping me briefly (but wonderfully) cut out the circles for his snowman :)
This is the finished product, not the perfection I had imagined in my mind, but certainly a good first run :) I won't be remaking it or anything. I have a little hand sewing to do at the top and I am going to cheat a little and buy the felt letters to put his name on it :) Oh and of course add the little loop to hang it up :)
That's my day today, oh and I watched my friend's 1 year old for 2 hours, went to a baptism, had a mini date w/ my husband (we went to senor sam's and shared a super nachos) and went "saturday preparing for sunday" grocery shopping. All in all a good day!

I'm still soooo amazed. I blew up the picture of the quilted one, I was so shocked at how exact each square was. And you say you're "trying" to be more crafty... throw away the word "trying" and be merciful to the rest of us. Own it, girl-- you are crafty.
