Shoes. These shoes rule.


Shoes. They aren't just for me anymore...I mean adults...I mean...

Baby shoes are undeniably adorable. So adorable, in fact, that I ordered four (yes, 4) patterns for making baby booties. I couldn't help myself. Aimee at HomeSpun Threads (www.homespunthreads.com) makes the CUTEST shoes and sells them in her Etsy store (http://homespunthreads.etsy.com/?ref=em) and she also sells her patterns.

She'll even give her kimono baby bootie pattern away for FREE if you just follow her blog (I felt kinda guilty doing that, though...so I bought them). Who couldn't resist the cuteness?!?

Please check out this lady's blog. I just found it tonight and I'm so pumped to try some of her hand made craft ideas.

I'll post (for sure) baby booties when I get some made! eeeee!!!

Christmas cards out of Christmas cards







Last year I saved all of the Christmas cards I received with the thought that I would make Christmas cards out of them this year. And I did.

It's, surprisingly, a lot harder than it may seem. It takes a lot of time and creativity to figure out how to piece old cards together and make new cards. What is rather neat, though, is that I basically make a personal card for everyone on my list. It's a lot of fun.


Monty was busy making his own card to Santa. He wrote this brilliant letter asking for a LEGO Train Set. He also had to mail his letter right away (and Mailman Dave took the letter...fake stamp and all!)


And Little Miss Agatha celebrated her 2 month birthday yesterday (I can't believe it!).
