This weekend I…

  • Helped Wren and Finch make these and supervised Robin doing this.
  • Had tomato sauce in spite of the new allergy I have. I am allergic to tomatoes and tomato products now. I get an ugly little rash on my mouth when I eat any. Think that prevents me from eating it all? No. I just deal with itchy and dried out lips for a few days afterwards. *sigh* I’m hoping it goes away after I deliver.
  • Decided the baby needs a proper corner in my bedroom complete with art, a dresser and some of these.
  • Wished it were warmer out so I could spray paint.
  • Finished the second baby bootie and started some mittens.
  • Did not dread Monday coming since I am done with work.
  • Made the kids go through all the art they just had to keep. I wish I could go back to just chucking things without them noticing.
  • Tried to install the carseat with L and couldn’t get a good fit. So, I went on carseatdata.org and got the number for a safety seat tech. L and I go to get it checked out later this week.

‘Tis the season to be jolly…

Bring on the Solstice/Christmas season, I’m ready! All four of our trees are up. The “fancy” tree, the small family ornament tree, and the two older kids’ mini trees. I’ve got the stockings hung, the wreath on the door, the windows decorated, etc, etc, etc. I started making a Christmas village. I’ve been baking, and I’m even doing holiday knitting. BUT, I really need to get my house in order. Having the kids home for about a week threw off my housework and so the laundry pile is probably Bebe’s height. Yea, I should get on that. But before I go, pictures!

ornament

That’s my favorite ornament. It’s a pop-up paper snowflake ornament by Robert Sabuda for MoMA and was given to me by my stepbrother a few years ago. It was the second snowflake ornament I was ever gifted, and so I decided to start collecting unique ones.

Glitter house

Girlie and I have been working on our little holiday village, this was the first house. What’s more fun than paint and glitter? Not much. :-P

Baby knits

A little hat I’m working on. I couldn’t resist this adorable yarn from Hobby Lobby when it finally went on sale.

paper book 1

The cover of Girlie’s book. Inspired by the ones over at soulemama.

paper book 2

Japanese mug

I picked up two of these Japanese mugs at Sally Ann’s for a quarter each. I first saw similar ones on flickr and I have a non Christmas one, too.
