The women’s council had their annual Christmas party/meeting and it fell on the same day as my dear friend (and our President) Amy’s birthday.  There was a hat and cupcake, as you can see, and also loud singing.  Good times.

 I have to confess, I am a sucker for  an ugly stuffed creature.  Growing up I would look for the “so ugly they are cute” variety any time I went to a toy story.  My search resulted in QUITE a collection that no one loved as much as me.

Well, when I saw these little guys in the Land of Nod catalog, I fell in love.  I also thought, “I could MAKE that!”  Result: the next time I was at Joann’s I bought the fleece and I did a google search on tutorials for getting it done.  The help I settled in with was given by the writer of Make it DO .  She called her blog entry, “Make Your Kids Something Ugly” and that caught my attention.  I got some tips from her and then watched this you tube video made by ten year olds and was convinced I could do it.

We’ll see how it all turns out.  That will be a photo for another day in December.
