Christmas Eve Idea!

How do you spend your Christmas Eve?? Here at The Chipkin Coop we love to be all cozied up on the couch watching a movie. The way we prepare is with a Christmas Eve Box! I usually prepare these for the kiddos in advance and place the box under the tree so that they can have something to look forward to on Christmas Eve.

Last year I added a Christmas mug and so this year I will be leaving that out since they LOVE the mugs they already received. This year, I am including a few families to my list and mailing out a package for their little ones. So that we can share the joy of what I call a NEW TRADITION!

 Please share your feed back and add your pictures to my page on  Facebook I would love to see how you and your family love to spend your Christmas Eve!!!

Check mine out!! (BELOW)

Here is the Christmas Eve Box that I am doing for my friends & kids this year. Since some on my list are traveling by mail I have opted out on the glass mug so that the packaging does not contain anything breakable. Instead I added the bucket for the popcorn. These are traveling to the Seattle Washington area, Florida and one is going to Austin Texas. I cannot wait to get these to the friends that we hold closest to our hearts!

Fabric Doll #2

 

Using the same pattern from the original dolls in my previous post "Paper Dolls = Fabric Dolls" I decided to make my beautiful girl a OOAK ballerina doll. These Fabric Dolls are so fun to make, so worth the time invested.

 

Can you tell she loved it?!

 

 

Give me some feed back, let me know what you think?? 

Paper Doll = Fabric Doll

When my daughter made these paper dolls for me a light bulb went off in my head. My mind is always running with ideas. I thought how awesome would it be if I made these paper dolls into actual fabric dolls!  I love my daughters drawings and this for me was a great way to honor her art.

It took me about 4 hours for each doll. I used a pattern that I found on Pinterest from the web site www.makeit-loveit.com. My daughter was so surprised to see these fabric dolls and to see how similar they were to her drawings.
