a fun burst of color just in time for the snow
pom pommery
Here’s our snowman. So cute! I love making pom poms. It’s so relaxing, like little bonsais.
I made snowman’s poms with the pom-po-nette. Pretty labor intensive but they came out super dense and awesome.
it was my birthday, and it was warm!
60 and sunny. That has never ever happened. What a treat! I went for a little outdoor hike. Crazy. I had yummy treats, saw an awful movie and got to buy myself more nail polish. Thanks to all my family and friends for gifts and hellos all day. And thanks to the facebook kid for making the happy birthday machine. I love that “ping, happy birthday… ping, happy birthday” all day long.
I did it, I took down Christmas
But it was too early and now I'm regretting it. Doesn't help that today is dark and rainy and dreary, so sad! I made a note on my list of next Christmas reminders to myself… "it doesn't take that long to dismantle Christmas, don't jump the gun"
I added a lot to that list this year. When I'm on facebook I marvel at how "put together" everyone's holidays seem. I would have thought by 8 and 4 that I'd have this down. But I think I'm getting close. Just putting on the finishing touches… order enough Christmas cards, buy tickets to Nutcracker super early, make a breakfast casserole for Christmas morning, when is best day to go to museum, stuff like that.
I wish New Years had decorations.
christmas was merry!
I have more pictures to share but I've got kids crawling all over me. Also I'm kinda already in new year mode. I'm sitting on my hands to not pick up, store, put away, take down. My house looks shabby and beat up. It needs a makeover but unfortunately my wallet is also shabby and beat up. I wish there were garage sales in January. I want to buy someone else's stuff to spruce this place up.
I'll try to post some photos this week. I made one thing I had on my pinterest, the dala horse ornament above (from bhg). Maybe I made more? I'll check.
