HAPPY (EARLY) WEEKEND!

I'm signing off a litt early this week. I will be a vendor at Bijou Market - a handmade market that is awesome and will rock your socks off - and need all the time I can get to prepare! I am elbow deep in cement! Ok, maybe just wrist deep. But you get the idea. And for some reason I felt compelled to make all new price tags and watercolor them no less. I might be losing it. But I love the way everything is turning out! If you are in the Utah area, stop by and check it out! I'd love to see you! Besides Bijou, we will be spending the weekend with some friends we just don't see often enough for only living 40 minutes away. I am hoping we will squeeze in some time for a visit to the museum of art and my favorite restaurant. We shall see! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

WE LOVE: BOY TIME

I wrote up a little article on the little things that Preston and Elliott do together both on a regular basis and as special daddy and me time. It warms my heart to watch them together, playing and reading and telling lame jokes. It also gives me (the only girl) some much appreciated alone time! If you are interested in seeing more about it, here is the article over on The Neighborhood! 

AROUND HERE

Wow. Is it ever cold around here! On Saturday night, Elliott and Preston went on to the store and it was 5 degrees. 5! Needless to say we haven't really left the house the last few days. Except to knock down some horrific icicles that constantly develop around the house and salt the outside stairs. So this weekend consisted of a lot of down time watching movies (like this one!), reading books and doing "tricks" on the couch. He's a trapeze artist in training! Here's to hoping the weather improves soon. Happy Monday to you!

AROUND HERE

This weekend we spent a lot of time around the house. I have been a little sick so we found fun things to do at home. Preston and I got all caught up on Downton Abbey in time for the season three premier (did you watch?), we played a lot with shadows and I did some planning for the blog and shop. I also experimented with some new jewelry ideas and I am happy to report it's going well! I hope you all had a great weekend. Happy Monday!

SO LONG, 2012: PART TWO

And now for the last half of 2012. It was a good one.

We had lots of fun with family.

 Preston experienced the drive in for the first time!

Elliott turned 3.5.

There were some dry erase mats for download.

Elliott went to his first day of preschool.

I made these chalkboard speech bubbles for a party.

And these color blocked lanterns.

And these oil + vinegar bottles.

We took a little road trip down to Tuscon.

Embroidered this geo notebook.

Made this color blocked picnic blanket and loved it.

Made a few mini pumpkin surprise balls.

We had our first and second CRAFT nights!

We moved into our new home! Complete with claw foot tub.

Made a lot of garlands.

Introduced my new line of cement jewelry!

We waited very impatiently for Christmas.

I made some jingle bell necklaces for kiddos.

And Christmas finally came!

To ring in the new year, I made this pretty ball! Happy New Year, friends! I know this year will be the best yet. Thank you so much for reading our little blog, it wouldn't be the same without you!
