One of the things I love most about this time of year is how excited so many people get to spend time with their families and friends over the holidays. In all the excitement, though, there are always some unexpected lulls. Whether you're their awesome uncle or their godmother from another state, here are some new ideas to help you have fun and connect with the children in your life. Make them in 30 minutes or less, toss them in your bag, and you'll be prepared no matter how unexpected the lull.

I don’t know about you, but for better or worse I’m a last minute kind of person. I tend to work best under pressure and when faced with a deadline can suddenly be more productive in one hour than I was all week. As a result, I’ll be spending much of my weekend making a few last-minute DIY gifts for my family (because, you know, we’re on a budget!) In case you’re in the same boat as me, here are a few of my favorite DIY toys that you still have time to make: 1.

In December, I shared some Domestic Sewing Machine trade cards along with some info about the company's history and their advertising themes. Today I have some more Domestic cards, but they're more about charming illustrations than hard-sell advertising. This is one of my favorite cards. Do you think they're playing "house" under the sewing machine? Two young ladies making doll clothes with the Domestic sewing machine. A paper doll and her outfits. This card is dated 1901. It is still considered a trade card, but about this time postcards started usurping the popularity of trade cards and this type of advertising started to fade away. I think we can agree the advertising copy still rings true today. Don't you agree having just the right sewing machine makes you a happy camper and in turn, makes your home happy?

I challenged myself about a month ago to make as many homemade gifts as I could for my children this year. We have a tradition in our little family to do 3 Gifts of Christmas. Gift of Meaning, Gift of Usefulness and the Gift of Wonder. The stocking is not included and can be filled with as many fun things that will fit :) That is where my homemade challenge falls into place here. I have made several stocking stuffers and my children's gift of meaning for my 3 kids and I'll be sharing those with you over the next little bit. Second homemade item this year are these Ribbon Streamers. I first saw streamers on etsy, and thought how fun and easy they would be to make. I bought very large D Rings from Joann's They also have spools of ribbon for 50 cents each. You simply tie your ribbon onto the rings in the length that you like. That is it. For around $5 I was able to make 4 streamers and I even have ribbon left over to make more. I am so excited to see my girls dancing around, waving these ribbon streamers as they giggle!
