Little elf at work

December 17th, 2008 by Malora

I have been a busy little elf trying to get Christmas gifts ready for one and all. Well, not really all. A few. I wanted to show my new Christmas card I created that I am really quite pleased with. I was able to reuse brown paper bags from some mushrooms and from Planet Organic (I forgot my cloth bags the other day). And I re purposed some magnetic poetry that I haven’t been using for a while. Here is the end result:

I used some fun green thread the fasten the brown paper to the card. It was super easy and I think they are cute.

Here is Noah’s Sock monkey thus far. I still haven’t committed on the cape.

Also, I found this wonderful idea on the Wee Wonderfuls blog. It is a cute little bookmark which I think everyone can use. So, here is my simplified version of her fabulous idea:

So there you have it. A few super simple little gifts for Christmas. I have a few others, but a certain someone may be lurking on here and find out what he is getting before the designated time;)

    Cute ideas. My son wanted a cape for his webkinz that he had. I looked in my fabric stash and I seen a pair of pajama pants that had a hole in the knee. I cut it off at the knee and then cut a straight line down to the elastic (that would be around the ankles). I did not cut the elastic and that is what went around the neck of the animal. I hope that makes sense :) Just an idea for you.

    You should stich ‘love mom & dad’ somewhere on the monkey. That would make it extra special.
