Elf On the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition , started in our house last year. I was able to escape the insanity until my son started school but once kids start talking.....you know how that goes.... So now we are an Elf On the Shelf family, too! JOY! My son's elf, Mischief, usually makes his way into our home on Thanksgiving night. Mischief is a good elf and likes to do good deeds. So here I am, starting to think of what fun things I can have Mischief do this year. Pinterest here I come!  And, because I know there are other parents out there looking for ideas, I'm going to share some of mine from last year. Enjoy! :) Mischief colors a picture for my son Mischief just hanging around Mischief helps me work on my puzzle  Mischief doing some house cleaning....if only we had little elves that would swoop in and clean in the middle of the night....one can dream. Mischief reads the Rudolph gang a story   Mischief captures Spiderman's arch enemy, The Li

My kitty has been in need of a new good resting place, and when I saw this idea on Facebook, I decided to give it a try. What you need: old sweater polyfil or cut up rags for stuffing yarn needle yarn Stuff top body and arms of the sweater with Polyfil. using yarn needle and yarn rough stitch where the poly-fill and at the body of the sweater. Like this…   Stuff one end of arm into the other end of the of the other arm, and fold the remaining body of the shirt over the arms. Stitch the folded over part to the body of the pet bed Next, you will stitch the arms to the body of the pet bed. The finished product will look like this… You can stitch shut the neck opening, but in this case I left it open, so I have the option to remove the Polyfil and wash the sweater This project took me a little over an hour and my cat loves his new pet bed
