Being put to use
I made this hat for baby Quincy for Cara's baby shower and since she was born 2 days ago she can now wear it.

Fun weekend (#16)
Top: F21 2010; Skirt: Purple layered, J Crew 2010 (bought at Downeast Outfitters for $20); Shoes: Target 2008
This picture makes my leg look stumpy from the skirt. But it only actually goes down to my calves. Really tea length skirt. It really is a flattering skirt. But it is the best picture we got from the day.
Merry Christmas to us!
We've been contemplating getting one for a while. Thinking we would get one as our christmas present to each other. And we wandered around Best Buy friday morning and saw that it was going for $170 we couldn't get it out of our minds. So saturday night we went on a whim and bought it. And Derek loves Mario, so we went for the red one. Jonah likes to play with the nunchuk and it makes him feel like he's playing along too.

Crochet Glory!
I've been looking to make myself a hat. This is what I made:
I also made another one in a different color that I used Derek to model.
I am so pleased with the result! If you or anyone you know is interested in one, let me know. Christmas is coming up. They'd make good gifts.
I can also make baby hats, afghans, etc.

Catching up
Hey guys! I've been super busy with the holiday weekend, helping make food for the 2 Thanksgivings we had. One thursday with good friends, and one again today with Derek's dad's side of the family. Making cheesecake, cake, green bean casserole (twice), and a turkey. Going to a few Black Friday Deals. New shoes for Jonah, Graywhale for Derek, Michael's for me. I got myself lots and lots of yarn which I've been making hats out of. But in all this I've been getting dressed up, using my items and feeling good.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
Very much so. We have a blizzard going on right now. Apparently it's supposed to be the worst storm in years. But its kind of exciting. I just want to curl up and watch movies, drink cocoa, and crochet. Oh wait, I do that anyway. But before the storm was a-brewing, I did get a chance to go out with Jonah to play at a friends house. And this is what I wore...

Love comments
from strangers. It helps me find new people and it makes me feel like I'm getting out there too. So, thanks! Helps me feel like I have something to say that people want to hear. Thanks for the encouragement!
Day 11: Sunday November 21st, 2010
Sweater: Blue Turtleneck, Gap 2007; Skirt: Purple Corduroy, Downeast 2010; Tights: Ross 2009; Shoes: Blowfish 2010
I love these tights and am sad about the holes. They are officially in the garbage now. But every time I wore them, they got about 2 runs in them anyway. And one of my friends at church was wearing the exact same skirt as me yesterday. Funny. We know we have the same skirt, so its bound to happen. We got a lot of comments on that.
And it has officially started snowing here. Starting this last weekend. I'm always anticipating it coming, but once it actually gets here I can't wait for spring to come. Although it also makes me want to decorate the house for Christmas. But I usually wait until at least after Thanksgiving. Nothing fancy. Just the tree and a nativity.

Clean up, clean up
Derek and I had a rigorous day of clean up. We organized, moved furniture around. I now have my own craft/sewing desk! My own place to put things. Derek got himself a drafting table, so I got the desk he was using and now have my own place. First project, curtains for the kitchen! I have this amazing fabric(I'm pretty sure it's vintage)that I got from Grandma Jolley's house after she passed away.
Anyway, it's hard enough as a stay at home mom finding reasons to dress up. But especially when you're having a cleaning day. But I did manage to get dressed for the few errands I ran today. Not dressed up, but dressed. Don't expect too much :)
Day 10: Saturday November 20th, 2010
Jacket: Gap 2006; Top: Rocky Votolato T, concert 2006; Pants: Old Navy 2010; Shoes: Blowfish 2010
I'm so glad I finally broke these boots in. Took a little bit, but now it's done, they are so completely comfortable! I am so glad I bought these.
Day 9: Friday November 19th, 2010
Top: Black Lace Cutout, Thrifted 2010; Layered Top: Borrowed; Pants: Old Navy 2010; Shoes: Gold flats, Target 2008

Also, I had some luck at the grocery store. I was able to get all this:
For $3.72. It was $0.88 for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and $1.49 for the Cocoa Puffs after buying 4. I had a $2/3 boxes of General Mills Cereal. So all that cereal cost me $2.13. That's just over $0.50 a box. The milk was $0.99 a gallon, limit 2, so I bought two and didn't even have to give up my coupon. I'll be using it again soon, you can believe that. The mozzarella was $4.29. And I had a $7 rewards, which I did not have to spend $700 to get. I love coupons. So after taxes and coupons, $3.72. It always makes me feel good when I can do that. Yay me!
