I’ve never understood why some school !have February breaks. It’s too cold to go out, and it means that spring break has to be moved later so it doesn’t coincide with Easter. Plus it makes the school year end even later. Oh well, we have it, so we will make the best of it! The girls had quite a crazy day on Thursday. They came home with so much candy, and we still had left overs from Christmas! Then in the evening … Read more
Yup, an interesting couple of days over here. Friday morning, after dropping off the girls at school I made a run to the local Girl Scout council. I had to pick up all the Daisy uniforms. The girls are going to be so cute, but boy were those boxes heavy!
With all the blog moving and pattern posting, I have a bit of a backlog of cute little girl photos for you!
So without further ado, here is a bit of  the past couple weeks in our home.
Kyla wanted a “Mommy necklace” so I tossed one together from a chain I had that wasn’t long enough for an adult version. It made her very happy.
Sometimes Kyla has issues with smaller buttons. So Vada helps out.
Happy 2013, my friends! I know this is not my first post of the new year, but it is my last post of 2012 photos. I still had a few left to share with you, so that seemed like a good use of my Sunday morning! It snowed just a few days before the end of the year, and while Doug shoveled, the girls made “Frosty.” They later explained to me that even thought they made Frosty he did not … Read more
Here is a little Christmas review for all of you. I will have a few more posts for you with more snaps from between Christmas and now. I have become much more focused on designing and writing my patterns, and on increasing the quality even more. Hence the bombardment of videos that I have been adding lately. Now my patterns not only have step by step photos of certain sections, but links to videos to help those who really like … Read more
We have been rather far behind this year. We just put up the tree a few days ago.
Hopefully this is the last fake tree year. I really prefer real trees, but it wasn’t in the cards this year.
As the girls still enjoy sharing a room, we have an empty room upstairs, which will one day (hopefully) be Kyla’s. For now, Owlivia ~ that cute little owlet lovey ~ sits in slumber waiting for her friends to arrive.
Finally, today, we found the time to open the boxes that have started to arrive. We were crazy busy last week, plus we all were a bit sickly, and didn’t want to get the softies all germ~ie!
Ever have one of those days? I can look back and see I did a lot, but I still feel like I got nothing done. I want to have everything I have already made posted in my Etsy shop, I want to release my next pattern (it just needs a few photos added in, and the cover page finished), I want to finish the small pile of sale items I have that need to be finished, and I want to get all that into my stop as well. I want to do all this by this weekend, when I will be spending Sunday at a friend’s studio selling items there.
Yet so far today I have gotten none of that done. At least yesterday I made a case for my patterns.
Tuesday and Thursday of last week were parent/teacher conferences at the girls’ school. This meant half days of school and lots more time at home.
Being creative little ones, they decided craft time was in order.
