teeny tiny pajama goodness

i have a confession to make.  i have a pajama problem.  i love of them.  i really love of them.  so much so that my favorite holiday party to host is the "new year's day pajama potluck brunch."  brunch and pajamas and friends?  be still my heart!

most years i get a new pair of pajamas from my mom.  she usually gets herself matching ones and over the years this has morphed into one ridiculous continuous exchange of pajamas.  now that i have a sister in law and nieces the fun has multiplied!  here's a few of us last year in our nick and nora jammies*


*is there any other kind?  we love these!

so, this year the mms threatened to put a full stop to the greatest gift tradition ever.  some savvy shopping on our part yielded matching pjs for the big girls, but not a thing for the littles.  oh, but that same mms is the exact reason why i volunteered to make pjs for the girls...practice!

have you ever made mini-pjs?  they require constant squeals of delight.  they are so darling it hurts.  i have made mms one, and only one, article of clothing thus far and spent more time giggling about it then i did in actual construction.  oh, and that's the other thing, baby clothes take less than 20 minutes to make and itty bitty scraps of fabric.  so, on it's way to those little girls are these ensembles:


do you die?  

once i got on a roll, i whipped up some matching pjs for my other niece and nephew.


monkey pjs complete with knee patches for the boy and ruffles for the girl!
please excuse the fact that my photography is not likely to win any awards.

is everything cuter in miniature?  i think so!  

total cliche: prep to be a stay at home mom apparently means getting my craft on.  good thing i love to sew like buddy the elf likes to smile.**read:  it's my favorite.

how 'bout you?  any cliche worthy christmas gift traditions you want to share?
