My tiny bit of sewing for Christmas this year included an ornament for Aunt Mo and finishing up a small ornament that I stitched a few years ago for myself. (Just had to had to add the cording to that one). Also in stitching news, Tuesday I went down to Hoops and Needles with my …
Some of my favorite pictures from Christmas Eve with family. Before we did presents, Ryan was holding Finley and she wasn’t quite sure what was going on 🙂 After these pictures we proceeded to open gifts and then have a wonderful dinner.
Ryan and I celebrated Christmas Thursday night, just the two of us. He got his planer (Makita) as he wanted, along with a game and a movie and I got new pots and pans and a carport! I also got some other smaller gifts – but pictures speak louder than words : The pots and …
I can’t believe it’s only Saturday night, we’ve had such a great weekend already. Of course having a cold isn’t great but it’s mostly an annoyance at this point, making me sniffly and tired. Ryan’s parents came out to visit Friday night we had dinner, watched movies, baked some cookies and relaxed this morning. After …
We both got home a little late from work today but I managed to get the tree decorated while Ryan worked in the livingroom with me. The only thing I’m missing this year is my Christmas village I usually put out on my sofa table, unfortunately my sofa table is packed up in the “diningroom/closet” …
I was bummed our tree could not be decorated (or brought inside even) while we wait for our new tree stand to arrive in the mail. Then I talked with someone at work who had made their own tree stand years ago and I got inspired. A quick trip to home depot for some supplies …

Wednesday night I finished up the princess dress no problem, then attached the collar to the Black cat shirt and the sequins to the ears. Thursday night I attached the ears to the headband. And pictures! I love making costumes for …
That wasn’t too hard – I got the overskirt for Maia’s princess dress all done tonight. I’m going to locate the pattern for the underskirt and maybe even cut the fabric tonight but otherwise I’m pretty much done for the night. I don’t know if this will end up really looking like Ariel’s dress but …
On Saturday we had quite a busy day. We had some visitors as well as my sister and her husband who came up for the night. We worked a bit on the deck and used up the rest of the decking, we didn’t quite close up the gap but it’s down to about 12 inches. …
