Cute Stick Horse

I thought about getting stick horses for my youngest two for Christmas, but just didn't do it. I found this adorable pattern to make your own (the fabric is a bit wild). The problem: the pattern is $17. Has anyone done anything like this of know how to do it?

Black Apple Doll

Tammy really needs to learn how to post on here, because she is always making things.  Like this cute doll.  I came across this pattern a couple years ago, but never made one.  Tammy came across it the other day and has already made the cutest little doll!  I thought I would do some of the work for Tammy and post this for her.  :)  You can see a video of the artist/creator, Emily Martin, on Martha making the dolls, if you are a visual learner (like me).  And you can get the free pattern here!  Or you can visit the Black Apple etsy shop and blog to see more from Emily.  Tammy, send me a picture of your cute doll and I'll put it in this post!

Update:  I made one for Ava.  She's not perfect, but I think she turned out pretty cute.  I added pony tails and a little ruffle skirt.  The inspiration for the face is from one of my favorite little paintings over at Tollipop. It really was easy and fast to whip this out.  I would recomend watching the video first.  She has a good tip on sewing the arms and legs = sew first, cut it out after.  I added poly beads instead of rice because I'm sure I'll have to wash her at some point.   

Christmas PJ's

I'm up to my ears in Christmas PJ's.  This is the first year I have ever made them myself.  I've got to do it once, right?  James was making fun of me a little, but oh well.  They will be cute, but I think next year I will just get on the Glenda/Tammy train and only make the bottoms. 

Flower Bows

I think these flower bows are adorable. Has anyone done anything like this before? If so, please post instructions. Thanks
