oh, come, let us adore him!

My little one LOVES BOOKS. She could spend at least half of her day carrying around one or two, and flipping through them. I saw a pattern for a nativity book sometime during the year and knew instantly that it needed to be apart of her library!
I started making this the end of Novemeber- I made two, one for Lottie (shown) and one in Italian for a friend Davide- he turned 1 on the 2nd of Dec.
the pattern is online for purchase here
I am very pleased with the finished product! What do you think??









Last weekend we went into the center to hear a christmas concert in the Duomo- after standing for 20min we left, all the seats were taken- and we did not want to stand for 3 hours. So we got some photos and went to a friends house to hang out instead!
Milan's Center- Christmas tree and all!

Charlotte loves walking around- even in the COLD!

Hanging out at the artisan expo

I also made some fabric ornaments that could stand a beating from Lottie.

Just another project! A onsie for a friend due with a boy any day.

Last Sunday I spoke in church. I spoke about missionary work- I talked mostly about the Greatest Gift that we have been given- The Atonement of Jesus Christ! I found many great talks and testimonies given by living apostles- to read a few please see here and here.

The fabric ornaments were a great idea. We have "shatterproof" ornaments (meaning plastic) and Lexie has been testing the durability. I LOVE the onsie, too. I have tons of plain white onsies, but it would be fun to spruce them up.

What do I think? Well, since you asked... :) I think you are amazingly talented. How beautiful. Oh, and I cannot get over how gorgeous your wedding dress is. I know I've told you that before, but it's just so unique and very beautiful.

I love the nativity book! I think I need to make one to add to my nativity collection. I created paper ornaments last year as gifts for the missionaries in my parent's mission. They were based on the same principle as the ones in your book.
