Finished today - along with 2 scarves. I'll post pictures of those later.

I finished more pinwheels last night too so I'm going to try assembling the mobile tonight - I hope. I supposed I might just sleep after being exhausted from all the creating!

Now the question is: What to create for dinner?

We were rained in today so I caught up on a project for C's room. I've been working on it since July...

Multitasking = giving the baby a bath + sitting on the floor next to the tub making poms for Christmas ornaments and H's stocking.

Another test from Flickr. This time I removed the border from the template.

Anyway, I made yarn ornaments last night. We have some bigger ones to make today with more colors. Green, blue, etc. And, I attempted the paper ornaments I saw on How About Orange but my stapler was too small so I had to make them shorter than the template she posted. It didn't quite work out so I turned them into bows.

Soup du Jour

I've been busy making presents to get out into the mail today.

Finished this morning!

I made a hat for H too. Now both my girls will be warm in the cold weather.

Tonight's project

I made this to keep C's head warm on our trip next week.

Today's Inspiration and Gratitude

I made these for the downstairs bathroom. I used 2 frames I got cheap but ended up not liking much and the Amy Butler paper I got the other day. I'm pretty happy with them and can't wait to hang them! I might go potty extra just so I can look at the pretty paper - hee hee.

1. A full night's sleep.
2. Creativity.
3. Waking up to C's smiles.
4. H getting ready for school without too much extra prodding from me.
5. H wanting to walk home on her own - Ms. Independent.
