Homemade for the Holiday

So I bought the game Brutal Legend for Eric (which is totally fun to play and hilarious BTW)
But he needed to look the part too. So I made him some vinyl garb to enter into the ROck and roll beasts lair with.
I cut the white vinyl and stitched them up by hand and stuffed them with kleenex because I had no time to get stuffing. I super glued them on and they haven't fallen off yet.

Anna loves to play at her little kitchen set and is always making us drinks and food. I found this adorable pattern and material on Etsy and made this little cupcake apron for her. I love the pocket and the chef hat is adjustable too. I was so happy to see that she loved it.

Neighborhood gifts

I have such fond Christmas memories of tying our laborador up to the tabaggon (aquired in alaska) and being pulled throughout the whole neighborhood delivering whole pineapples with a red ribbon. As an adult the whole pineapple gift makes no sense, but as a child, it was what you did at Christmas time. I try to follow my Mothers lead and share some holiday spirit with my neighbors now too. This year I made an apple lemon coffee cake. Soft creamy and lemony cream cheese in the center with a sugar and cinnamon laden crust and apples with pecans on top. Add a glass of hot chocolate and you have a perfect Christmas breakfast.
