This is my new sling made from animal print polar fleece.  It it so snuggly and warm (though you wouldn't know it was winter by looking at this picture - it was warm enough to be outside without coats in December in Arkansas!)  The only thing I'd have done differently would have been to use larger sling rings because it's a bit difficult to pull the fabric through these small rings.  It's not a big enough problem to want to take it apart and change the rings, though!
I think Connor likes his new ride!  : )
These are some "Dolly Totes" that I've made several of this year as Christmas gifts for the little girls on our list..  My mom originally made some of these for my sister and I when we were little, and when I needed a gift for one of Patrick's friends, she was able to find the pattern for me.  The pocket on the front is a little "bed" for a doll to go in and has a small pillow attached, and then the main body of the bag is a tote bag for the child to carry all their dolly stuff.
The boys' new pj's made from the Kwik-Sew Sewing for Toddlers master patterns.  The shirt is from the basic t-shirt pattern.  I added a little extra room at the center front and back, and then flared out at the bottom about 1/2" the front and back.  They fit really well, though next time I'll add a little less room at the neck.  The pants are the no-side seam pants.
Uh oh...  I think they caught us getting into the presents!
