I love that, in my One Day A Long Time From Now thoughts... If they love the things you've made now, time will only make them love them more, I expect - nostalgia tends to do that, I've found :)PeelingClementineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627734985688381455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521081013035748486.post-80772363172314953282014-12-13T14:58:29.973-08:002014-12-13T14:58:29.973-08:00I have to say, I'm dreading the day when the L...I have to say, I'm dreading the day when the List dominates!! I'm hoping that just one thing off the list will suffice, from Santa, and any other gifts can be vito-ed by us - especially if the Santa letter is 'secret'!!

Maybe you could blog on the sewing process if they go to plan? I've not tried PJs before but I'm always game to try something new!PeelingClementineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627734985688381455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521081013035748486.post-28599920223304270672014-12-13T14:54:03.709-08:002014-12-13T14:54:03.709-08:00I loved my little cupboard room - I'll bet you...I loved my little cupboard room - I'll bet your hallway would make a fab extra bedroom!!

Her big event was Halloween - she made several of my costumes when I was small. I'll be sure to set aside what we've made for the kids - they'll appreciate them again someday :)Dionna @ Code Name: Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463687059904219224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521081013035748486.post-80799131502464739442014-12-09T16:18:14.225-08:002014-12-09T16:18:14.225-08:00Loving the dress story, the one in the picture loo... Loving the dress story, the one in the picture looks beautiful and the real thing would have been even more so. My kids have written a letter to Santa this year and I'd have to say I hate every single item on the list, except for a book my son wants, which of course had to be out of print. So we're still looking for reasonable compromise on the presents ;)Tathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857276166066428470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521081013035748486.post-17546598734478019402014-12-09T15:44:01.809-08:002014-12-09T15:44:01.809-08:00I'm making my son a few pairs of pajama pants ...I'm making my son a few pairs of pajama pants for Christmas this year! (And I'm making matching pairs for myself and my husband too!) There truly is something magical about homemade gifts, especially clothes.

I love handed-down treasures. <br /><br />I have to say, too, I was captivated that you had a bed in the hallway, because we also have a 2-bedroom place for a family of five and have been eyeing our stairwell for loft-bed ideas…Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521081013035748486.post-51018679530940756502014-12-09T13:37:49.187-08:002014-12-09T13:37:49.187-08:00I think it's wonderful that you're making ...I think it's wonderful that you're making your son a stocking and love that you still have a handmade one from your aunt - how gorgeous! Handmade Christmas definitely ramps up the special-factor for me and I'm sure your little boy will love his new stocking whichever Christmas he gets it! <br /><br />My mum is making a stocking for my new little'un so I made an advent calendar instead... the theory is it'll be filled with fimo nativity characters eventually, but this year I ran out of time, so each day houses a little box of raisins and we take it in tuns to 'open' it!PeelingClementineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627734985688381455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521081013035748486.post-25067677102827107222014-12-09T13:29:42.189-08:002014-12-09T13:29:42.189-08:00I Love this sentiment.

I am making a stocking for my little one, I started after his first Christmas last year and honestly I don't think I'll finish in time for this year, so next year is the big one! I have a similar hand made stocking from my aunt and I still treasure it so much knowing that she made it just for me. I want my son to have that same feeling.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13511710191432872513noreply@blogger.com
