Happy (late) Birthday to me!

I had a great birthday. Usually I have too high of expectations and I get dissapointed. This time I just enjoyed every moment. I got a wonderful breakfast with my family and had a pretty relaxing and yet productive morning. I've been trying to get so many projects done before the big day. That day being Christmas of course. I've widdled my list from 18 to about 7. Not because I've finished that many, but because I simply took things off my list that I knew I wouldn't finish. Like making a huge quilt for Katelyn. Yea, right. Maybe for her birthday in June. I finally finished Owens quilt, this is it in the picture. On the Owen note, he popped about 4 teeth last week. Crazy!

Anyways, back to my birthday. I ditched the fam and went to the Bezanson farmers market. I had some good friends out there, so I had a great time visiting and spending lots of money. I'm sad that more people didn't go, it was amazing. One lady was selling beautiful crocheted snowflakes for only 2$. They were incredible. Next year people, go. I got home with just enough time to feed Owen before my hubbie whisked me away for a lovely date. He wrote me a love letter. I love him. So much. It was such a nice day. So that's it. My birthday post, yipee!

Christmas Countdown

It's on, the count. My sibs are coming next week! Can't wait!!!! The project countdown is also on. I have 16 left, although that's looking good from the 18 yesterday. I've made serious progress on the Christmas quilt this week. I've been babysitting a friends girl this week so my time has been a lot more kid oriented than usual. My poor kids are used to playing in the sewing room A LOT. Anyhoo, here's some pictures. I had been waiting for a least one comment before I posted again. Thanks Alissa for finally humoring me.




Heres Owen trying to fight off his cousin David. He's two months younger and already crawling circles around Owen. I've been trying to teach him all week. He's in no hurry though, and come to think of it neither am I.
This is our wonderfully fake Christmas tree. My sister will be so disappointed when she gets here. I've considered switching it to a real one, but who wants to undecorate and start all over again?
My dear sweet friends came to visit a couple weeks ago. I got really sick while they were here, boo. They took such good care of me. We managed to make this gingerbread house with Katelyn while Laura was still here. I globbed on the icing and let her put on whatever for decorations. Aren't they pretty? Fun times. I love Christmas it's the best! Oh and did I mention that tomorrow is my birthday? Lots of comments will make me happy:-)
