We made a second snowman on the beach. So there's sand mixed in with the snow! I found some itty bitty seashells on the beach and used them as the eyes, mouth, nose and necklace. We didn't do anything amazing over the weekend, but we did have a lovely time together.

This past weekend, we went to South Lake Tahoe for the weekend. Conor's company, Medallia, rented a whole bunch of condos and we all shared (4 families were in our condo). We left Friday afternoon and stayed until Sunday morning. It felt so odd to have snow be such a novelty and something we had to drive 4 hours to get to! Holly loved the snow and was disapointed to arrive to our real home on Sunday (it was 23°C when we arrived home). We built snowmen and played in the snow. We played games and relaxed. It was great! I can't wait for next year mainly because I'm hoping Greta will be a bit tougher in a year!

I love finishing something. Especially when I've had the fabric for almost a year. Luckily, I'm still completely in love with this fabric. And as Conor put it, "it's the perfect fabric for a daughter of a web designer." The pattern I used was Simplicity 2375 and it came together quickly and easily. My to-sew pile is shrinking (yay!). This month I hope to tackle a collared shirt, a skirt, a baby quilt (this is the project I'm the most excited about!), and a medium sized quilt (for me). I'm trying to manage my time more efficiently so that I can do more, which is totally possible. I'm a work in progress.

Greta's really into babies. She loves rocking, soothing and hugging baby dolls. A baby loving a baby...
