Creativity, Diva Pointer and Lunch boxes

Last weekend I took a canvas class with Kim. I love love love to do artsy projects - but I don't really think of myself as very creative. I tend to get ideas from other folks. I wish I had an eye for creative projects, but I just don't. These are the results of the canvas class. I really had a fun night working on this project! This is hanging in my craft/work room...otherwise known as "the green room". I plan to do some more on my own, now that I know the basic technique.

Diva Lily

Lily's new thing is pointing. It's fun to go to Target with her, as she will point to everything! She is quite a curious girl!

The night of the canvas class, my friend Betsy picked up her developed pictures and they were handing out mini lunch boxes. Betsy gave her lunch box to Lily and now this is one of Lily's favorite toys.

Giving Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was a great day. David and I cooked and baked all day long. (we are both exhausted now).
Lily was a good kid, although she kept getting woken up from her naps by a certain puppy dog we have. Any time someone comes to the door, Maya barks like crazy. People just happened to visit during her two naps and Lily just didn't get in a good nap.
We had all the traditional food with a few additions.
Grandma and Grandpa D came over and David's buddy, Nathan joined us too.
I have many things to be grateful for: family, friends, health and home. I'm especially grateful for my new little daughter!

Friend's Wedding and the Phone

My friend Peter got married this September. Unfortunately I was not able to attend, but have received a couple of pictures of their day. I met Peter at Indiana University and have kept in touch since. He now lives in Wyoming and I'm hoping one day we can trek up there and meet his new wife. Congrats again Peter!!


Lily's new thing is taking her toys, food, anything she can get her hands on and pretending it's a phone. She will put the object to her ear and say "ewhoa? Dada!" I guess all her calls come from her Daddy! :)

Dirty Mail

Today David and I took a quick walk around the neighborhood. As we were coming home, we went to check our mail (we have a community mailbox). I saw a package for David with a suspicious sender.

Who the heck is "Wurkin Stiffs?" What did David order?

Come to find, these are collar stays. As my husband says, my mind is in the gutter! ha ha!

Hats

I crocheted matching skull caps for Lily and me last week. The pattern for Lily's was for "little kids", but the hat is still too big. This is the pattern. These are very easy to make and fast. I made one in two nights. I probably could have finished it within one night, but I choose to read a little bit too. I must choose my alone time activities at night wisely!
