I finally got around to my painting project. I started out painting in the sinkhole but after dropping wet paint heads on my shirt twice Tim ordered me out of the couch and to the table. pah, sitting up. overrated if you ask me. I love the painted wood German Christmas ornaments so much and wanted to try to make a little something like that for the tree this year. So I went to Michaels and got some round doll … More

thanks you guys!
Now I’m wishing I’d mentioned it on the blog when we first found out instead of following the 12 week rule. The euphoria of finally getting pregnant was too quickly overshadowed by over-35 worries and where are we going to fit all these kids worries and the oh my god I’m going to barf out the window of this car worries. I’m so happy today. I’m outed and feeling very happily pregnant.
We’re for sure going to find out if … More
really big project number two
Ok, I can’t wait any longer. I think it’s about time to blog about the reason I haven’t been blogging much lately, instead of once again sitting here staring at a blank page thinking of anything to say except what I want to say which is, I’m 3 months pregnant with baby number 2! We’re so excited to have the final piece of the Lang family puzzle in motion. I’m due in June and am especially excited to be having … More

Freebie Elf Stitchette Embroidery Patterns!
Freebies! Tra la la la…
I gave the ever popular redwork a try on these. I really like using a lot of colors when I embroider but I worked on these over Thanksgiving at my parents’ house so it was super easy to just bring one color of floss. I think they look really cute in all red.
We got our snow last night. Hurray! We’ve already been outside once this morning and now Oscar has pulled his rocking … More
cottonball creatures
these awesome old pipe cleaners I found at the resale shop + theresa’s post on cody foster and wondering how spun cotton ornaments are made + my current obsession with crazy vintage handmade ornaments = an oscar-free afternoon turning into a whirlwind of crazy ornament making activity! I unrolled cotton balls and used the strips of cotton to wrap up spools, wooden wheels, plastic eggs, anything I could find really and then glue gunned on little heads and buttons and … More
thank you!
Hey holiday crafters! Thank you so much for the put-together book orders over the past 2 days!! I can’t wait to see all the amazing robots you guys come up with and craft vicariously through you. Tim and I are always so excited about our little self-publishing projects and we’re so grateful and thrilled (and relieved!) when people are excited about them too.
Speaking of Tim, I always assume it goes without saying, but maybe it doesn’t, he is, of … More
