Here I go... again... I swear...

I'll be the first to admit it, I have been a terrible blogger. The past month has been, shall we say.... full. In the past six weeks I have: celebrated my ninth wedding anniversary, found out that I'm going to be an auntie (AGAIN!), hosted Thanksgiving, went Christmas tree hunting, Kohl's sale shopping, amigurumi crafting, cookie baking, Great-Grandma visiting, toddler chasing, Lego playing, Christmas Program attending, baby loving, and enjoying many Christmas celebrations. It has been a full and blessed month.

They are such a beautiful blessing, no matter how hard it was to get this picture!


In honor of the new year and because I feel bad for neglecting my blog, I am making it my resolution to give a little time to it. And I will. I swear.


Right now I have so many things running through my little head. So many ideas and crafty little things that I want to do. Isn't this a wonderful place to share them!


I am in love with this pattern from Tanya Whelan of Grand Revival Design. I made Donnelly a little skirt with this pattern in the fall. It is so wonderful! I have a feeling that this will be a big part of her Summer wardwrobe!

This is for me! It is also by Tanya Whelan.

This is another little thing I want to make for Donnelly. Little girls are so much fun! I'm not too sure how plausible this one is for me since I am not an experienced seamstress. But it's lovely! This is the Claire Pattern by Sandi Henderson. I just adore it!

Benjamin is a fan of foxes. His lovey is a ratty little fox named Todd. Ben also has a large puppet fox named Mama Todd and a little fox that Santa brought him named Brother Todd. I really want to make this for him. He would make a lovely addition to the little Todd family.

So, to add these things to the sweater I am crocheting for D and the monkey I need to start for a friend, I would say I have my work cut out for me. I love having my work cut out for me. It's wonderful!

  1. 'tonight, tonight, Hot Damn tonight!' (lamp scene from Christmas story)...that's how I felt when I opened up your blog after not posting for 6 weeks and saw you made a new one! I love it! I am so happy that you are chronicling everything about your life with your wonderful family. As in the pictures you just posted on the twins and Ben in the last 2 years, you realize how fast time passes and you forget. Pictures and stories are the thing that open up the memory file in the brain. To see each picture, my heart just jumps for joy at my little grand-ones... 3:12 a.m?... you need to get more sleep!
    love, mom
