Pictures As Promised!
Okay, so we have one adorable tutu! It’s a mix of pink and purple, perfectly girly. I hope the little ballerina likes it!

For my mom…a chef’s apron. Ridiculously easy to make, even without a pattern. I “made” a pattern from one of my own aprons, added 1/4″ for seam allowance and voila! I like this fabric too, my mom’s request was for a red apron…I hope this is red enough for her. It is a reversible apron but the other side is a tone on tone pattern that didn’t feel like photographing well.

And we did go and get our tree last night and I put the lights on it and decorated it today!
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
Do you notice a distinct lack of ornamentation around the bottom of the tree? I’m sure MC would be fine because I don’t actually own any breakable ornaments but just because they’re not glass doesn’t mean they can’t be chewed by dogs. So the tree is a little unbalanced. I swear I put lights on it, and that they were on!
Geek Family Tree
And what geek family tree would be complete without some Star Wars ornaments!
What’s on your geek tree?

It’s Coming, Are You Ready?
That time of year when you swear it will be different this time…that you’ll be organized…that you will get everything perfect. CHRISTMAS!
Yes, I went there. Are you afraid?
I’ve tried a couple of ways to get organized for Christmas, doing nothing but making a gift list and of course Flylady. I stumbled across this post on HDMac’s Crafty blog about 100 Days to Christmas. So I went strolling on over there to see if this could be a help to me. I think any site that allows you to have a little accountability by joining forces with other people. A little bit of keeping up with the Jones’ if you will.
Now I have a little catching up to do. I need to print out some calendar pages (Oct-Dec) and finish my gift list.
Now doesn’t that give you a nice dose of Christmas cheer?
