Cleaning the Chaos (123:365)

My mom is visiting so, of course, we went to Target
to celebrate (yesterday).

She bought us one of these sweet little things.

Now the toys in the living room are in here
 instead of under my feet.

...ahhh...

Much better.

Thanks grandma!

My First Baby Booties (122:365)

I have a baby shower today and needed something quick 

and easy to make.

I've never made these before, but decided to take a chance on them.

I think they turned pretty well.

So cute! And easy. Here is the free tut.

Thanks HomeSpun Threads!

First Snow of the Winter (121:365)

Today we all traveled out to Omaha (the big city 'round these parts) and went to the grand opening of the nearest Trader Joe's! It was great. I got a bunch of my favorite stuff, like almond meal (for baking), their amazing (and cheap!) kettle corn, and their peanut butter.

It was kind of a mad house, but fun anyway (for me at least).

Then, on the way home, we braved a little blizzard, facing snowflakes the size of ritz crackers. I got too dizzy trying to dry so luckily Scott was able to take over.

Neither of us had any idea it was supposed to snow. If we had, we would not had been brave enough to face it. Not yet. Winter isn't due yet, right?

Busy Bee (120:365)

Today I was a procrastinating little busy bee.

I got a lot of things done, yet nothing for the craft fair!

Breath...

Well, since I did stuff I'll just share it with you all so you can see how productive I can be when I'm avoiding productivity.

First up, Dee and I made some gummy snowmen. We bought a kit from Target the other day and we had a lot of fun making them. Not hard at all and I'm looking forward to doing it again.

 

Then I finally rehung the curtains Dee accidentally ripped out of the wall like 2 months ago.



 Then I hung up some shelves I bought for $1 each at a garage sale like 3 months ago up in the girls' room.



Dee wanted me to make her some clip on earrings the other day. She picked the fabric from my stash all by herself. Here she is, sporting those cute things.


Recently, at Hobby Lobby, I found a sign that explains how I feel about doing laundry and had to buy it to make me feel better in that room of dreariness.


And for dinner, I made some egg rolls, but baked them instead of frying them.
They turned out pretty good. Different, but still good. Definitely worth the less calories and fat.


So, that is what I did today instead of working on my craft fair stuff.
Yeah, I'm a good procrastinator.

Cute as a Button Rings (119:365)

'Cuz they're buttons.

I love these little rings.

I made 20 of them today for the upcoming craft fair.

They are so cute and add a fun pop of cuteness/ vintage coolness to your hand.

Baby Bibs (118:365)

No pictures again.

Today I made a couple of baby bibs from fused plastic bags and estate sale binding tape. 

They are super cute!

Maybe I'll put pics up tomorrow.

Update.
Pictures of this cute baby sporting those cute bibs.







Lesson learned: make sure the plastic you fuse if thick enough for your purpose. I don't think this white bib will last long. The snaps I put at the neck are pulling a bit . Too bad, it's the cutest! I may make some of these for the craft fair. I'm still perfecting my design...

Making Memories (117:365)

Today Dee and I made a cute little gingerbread lady. It has lots of pink like Dee likes. It's so cute how she likes to craft with me! She is growing up so fast and acting older and older each day. Sniff.
We also made cupcakes together and she rolled out the pizza dough for our lunch. We had a fun day spending time together.
Goose is cruising now. I wonder if she'll beat Dee at walking.
