Things To Get To Before I Go Crazy. Also, Photos.

1. Sew the capes and purses for the girls' Christmas presents. Simple project--I just need to get my caboose into action. Also, all readers of this blog are SWORN TO SECRECY!
2. Sew Mat's fleece robe. He knows he's getting it, as it's hard to hide five yards of royal blue fleece in the room we're in.
3. Sew bags for the Christmas exchanges we're in next week.
4. Finish my gifts for everyone else.
5. Decide between making Christmas cards or uncovering the whereabouts of my own.

Yeah, that about covers it. If I can finish that stuff this week, then I can be less stressed out about Christmas.

On to the photos!

Here I am, posing ever so lovely for my mother, in Hobby Lobby. I found this angel statuette and just fell in love with it. I'm fond of angels--real or statuette.


KEVEN, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!
I found your Christmas tree.
That Hobby Lobby place is a fun place to be. We spent hours there, just looking at things. If I had a million dollars, a lot of those dollars would go towards this place. Then the rest would go towards shelving and walls to put all the stuff on.


Crazy girls dancing before bedtime in Arkansas. The picture is perfect because, really, Afton herself is a blur.

Afton holding still. It's rare, and one must enjoy these times as fully as possible.
(I like the smock I made for myself, as it is Extremely Comfortable, but it sure makes me look large.)

Mat enjoys the rare moment of stillness with us.

The girls playing Play-Do in their new fleece hats and scarves, kindly provided by Great-Aunt Anne.

Afton being proud of her Play-Do accomplishments.

Afton's creation. She loves cutting the dough with a plastic knife.

Annika's work, with a little help from my mother, I assume (these are her pictures).

The End.

Yeah, I could go crazy in the Hobby Lobby too, I think.

Good luck getting your list done. Hopefully you'll do better than I did today. You know my list I posted? Hmmm, one thing done. And it wasn't ignore the computer, that's for sure.

Cute pics of your girls being energetic and play-doh-ful.

I'm totally going to go call your cute kids and tell them what you made them for Christmas. Right. Now.

Love the pictures! Yes, I also find craft stores addicting. :) We don't have Hobby Lobby here, but we do have Michael's, Robert's Craft, and the Quilted Bear that I visit frequently.

Very fun pics. I love silliness.
