Projects


I've got so many things to work on and to add to that, Thanksgiving is less than 3 weeks away, and Christmas is coming up in 7 weeks.  I'm starting my Christmas shopping this weekend.  I'm not going to wait until last minute like I normally do.  I've already got a few ideas for people, but the tricky one will be my husband.  He's the hardest person I know to shop for and he shouldn't be at all because he's so easy to please generally.  I'll figure something out, I always do, but I'm definitely open to suggestions.

I need to get the ball rolling on making the bedding for the baby and Ben and I have this incredible urge to knit more but I'm feeling oddly uninspired by my massive collection of yarns.

I finished a scarf last week that was originally going to be for Designers Against AIDs, but I fell in love with it... I know that's selfish, but it matches my coat.  With my belly growing more everyday, my coat buttons keep moving so much further from each other.  I already haven't been able to close it but now it's just rediculous so I need all the help staying warm I can get.  The shipping on the scarf for DAA is going to be outrageous anyway, and I know it's for a great cause, but I'm just not feeling it now.  Maybe I'll move on to hats and mittens or something.

Here's Ben modeling my scarf for me.  He's so silly.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
