We were having a bad day today. Luckily I know one thing that always cheers Holly up - the kitchenaid. She loves holding onto bowl's handle and peeking at what's mixing. By 8:45 this morning, we were mixing up some pudding! Don't worry, Holly only got to lick off the spatula and we saved eating the pudding for after lunch. Although, I think she got most of it all over herself and her tray rather than in her mouth!
PS: the bib is Messie Jessie's Big Mess. I have a few of them and LOVE them!
Our tree is all set up and decorated. I made a paper garland by sewing together one-inch circles. I love the felt snowflakes! I wanted to keep our tree really simple this year, bordering on under decorated and I achieved the look I wanted. We still need to take some family photos in front of the tree, but first we have to fix it up. Over the weekend Holly pulled it over. The garland is now all wonky and so are the lights. I was taking a nap during these exciting events, but apparently Holly got a time-out. I couldn't help but laugh when I came upstairs and heard the tale!
I've made many things for Holly's stocking. First, a book of colours.
And a Bunny (pattern and instructions via Martha Stewart).
Earlier this week, I finished making all the Christmas gifts I was going to make and then I bought something to make something else. When I got home, I laughed at myself!
Hello Friends,
Please vote for Melanie's Modern place setting over at the Dwell Studio Blog. I took the photos and we're splitting the goods! Holly's newly painted room could really use some cute Dwell Studio items.

This year's tree-cutting expedition was much different from last's. First, we actually cut a tree. And Second, there was no snow and the weather was so warm! We found a most excellent tree and we're very excited to trim it tomorrow evening. I love having a real tree and I don't think I could ever have a fake one even if it means just buying one from a tree lot. Holly was giddy with excitement when we put the tree up in our living room. I have a feeling this Christmas is going to be really fun!
