Little Bear

I'm not sure why, but I left my little bear ornament out of my Snowbuddy post. So, here he is, in all of his beary, hatted goodness...

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas... Tree?

Last year I found the perfect Christmas tree. It was white. I've never been attracted to white Christmas trees before, but this one was found at a flea market and appeared to be quite old. The branches were sparse and the color was more cream than white. I passed on it that day, because we had no way of hauling it home. I procrastinated for a day, and when I called (after OBSESSING) to secure it, they let me know that someone else had bought it.

Tomorrow I am breaking from work, work, work to go flea marketing. I hope to find a white (ish) tree similar to that one. *Wish me luck!!!



In other Christmasy news, I popped over to the Studio Jessi blog, and read that her super adorable, quirky St. Nicholas dolls are about to be posted for sale. I'm really hoping to nab one of these. Her dolls are much different than anything else I've found, and I really enjoy them.

I swear, as soon as I get my camera out for pictures, the sun hides from me. Here are a few of the ornaments I've been working on. I won't post them in the shop until I get the pics I desire.

I'm Back!

This week really has been nuts. I'm almost finished with my orders... they should've been done by now, but there seemed to be many, many piano ordeals this weekend, on top of everything else. In the end, I couldn't wait until tomorrow to get my shop back up and running... it has seemed so sad having it down. So, I'm back, shop's back, all is well. Here's a recap of my week:

Sew, sew, sew, record, record, record (actually most of my recording was done last night), parent/teacher conference (what? My kid is big enough for this?!), play music at yet another wedding, and HALLOWEEN.

Halloween was fun... a busy day none-the-less. Hope was out of school so we made orange cupcakes with green cream cheese icing-- her choice, we quickly cleaned so we could have people over, then we got her all dressed for the big night.




Hope might be one of the most particular kids in existence, so finding the perfect costume so she could be the exact butterfly out of these specific chapter books that she's into was quite challenging. She ended up having to compromise, but she looked as cute as could be, and when the day arrived she didn't really care what she was wearing at all. The only things that mattered: running everywhere, eating an abundance of candy, and salvaging the rest of her fingernail after a major crash and burn on the sidewalk.
