Whatchbeenupto?

Not a whole lot actually. I made a new pie, an Apple Cream Pie. It was good, but I'll have to "tweek" it a bit to get things just right. I had big plans to get out early on Black Friday and snag some deals at JoAnn's, but my plans were thwarted by a 2 point buck :( That's right, on the way home from my grandma's on Thanksgiving we hit a deer. It came out of nowhere and I'll spare you the details, but it didn't survive . . .and neither did our radiator. Good thing for us my sister was right behind us and took hubby, me and the kiddies home. It was 1 before we finally made it home (late night at Grandma's), so I didn't really feel up to venturing out in the cold- again. Instead, I stayed home, slept in and cleaned house. A good day all in all. I have put a few new things on my Etsy, and started decorating for Christmas. My trusty Celine Christmas CD has really got me in the mood, but I think tomorrow I'll bust out Kenny & Dolly! If you've not listened, it's quite possibly the greatest holiday music- EVER. Anyway, a few pics to enjoy!

Not a Whole Lot

Its been a while since I've posted anything . . .I haven't been up to a whole lot. I read the final Harry Potter book the other weekend- a most gratifying read. I have also been doing a lot of Sudoku, and very little crafting, although I did finally get a few things added to my Etsy shop. Sophie is getting SO BIG, and she smiles all the time, its so cute. Viv is adorable as always, although we are definitely in the terrible two's . . .

Isn't She Cute!!!

This is my baby . . .she's getting so big :-( Yesterday, she laughed for the first time, just one little giggle, and I missed it. Sad times. I am sure there will be many more laughs to come! She is so sweet and happy, just watching her sleep makes me feel good. Right now she's asleep on the floor, and I think when I'm done here I'm going to snuggle up next to her and cuddle!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

What a fun couple of days! I went shopping for fabric, amongst other things, the last two days. I picked up a piece on clearance at Hancocks that I was IN LOVE with, but couldn't decide what to do with. Long story short, I did this:


I got the instructions here. I love it because, the fabric is to die for! and it was fast and easy. It was done, start to finish while both of the girls napped. Very satisfying!

Also, I found the best new fabric store, Nancy J's in Wabash. It's a bit out of the way, but totally worth the drive . . .plus today was so beautiful a day to be out and enjoying the scenery. Here are some of the spoils:
