Am I making a big deal out of this?

A supposed very good friend of mine seems to be irritating the hell out of me at the moment. I don't think it's because she's changed in any way, I think it's because I've started noticing more the things that she says and it has started to really annoy me.

She's the kind of person who thinks she is the perfect wife and mother and seems to criticise everyone else except herself.

I'll give you a few examples of the things that she says and does. My ds is 5 months older than her ds so quite often I pass on my ds's clothes that no longer fit him. The last time I did this she sat there in front of me picking through the clothes making faces at some of them and making comments like "what the hell is that?" or "I think I'll take that straight to the charity shop". I've since not passed on any more clothes.
In January my dh's hours at work were halved, I was talking to my friend about this and saying how worried I was about how we were going to pay bills etc and she replied "well the first thing you should do is do a car boot sale and sell some of that crap that you've got in your garage".
In the Easter holidays she came to our house with her dc's and when I made them some lunch I asked her if she would like a packet of crisps. She had some and when she openned them remarked "I always eat crap when I come to your house".
She always makes a point of letting me know how cold she thinks my house is, she goes on about it so much I have to bite my tongue from saying "well fuck off and go home to your warm cosy house then" and she'll keep her coat on the whole time she's at my house.

The icing on the cake for me was last week my friend, her dh and dc's came around for my ds's birthday tea. Her youngest ds(2yrs) had a chocolate icecream in a cone for his dessert, he got down from the table and went into the living room with it so I asked him to come back to the table and sit up several times, to which he said "NO" and then got up on the sofa with it and I said to him "Don't you get that on my sofa" my friend piped up and said "he's usually quite good with things like that"!!!!

Is it just me or would any of you find these things quite annoying?? Or am I making a mountain out of a molehill?

Thanks to everyone for your replies. It's nice to know I'm not making a mountain out of a mole hill.
