After Christmas Post

I just realized I've been neglecting my blog again. Oops, sorry about that. I had hoped to have a nice, easy January and get lots of things done around the house, but so far it's not working out that way. No complaints though.

I just thought I'd share a few really great things that showed up here at Christmas time.

Nick got me these adorable pewter measuring spoons from beehive kitchenware. Let me tell you, these have been in my favorites for-ever! I love them. I hope to hang them above the new cooktop if I ever get the cabinets hung on that wall.

I got myself this cute little snowman pincushion from Pennys by Kristie. I just popped it on the tree when it arrived and that's where it stayed. (I hate to say it, this is the only "decoration" that ever made it on to our tree this year. Like I said, I've been busy.)

I saw this book (it started as a blog) at Borders a while back and I was absolutely rolling on the floor crying it's so funny. Thankfully, Nick remembered it and I found it under the tree. You have to check out this book, seriously, you'll be crying by about page 3.

This lovely cake comes from the "Baby Bottoms Up" chapter. Poor green baby.

I believe this one was made in support of fire fighters during the California wildfires. Nice, yet scary.

Get ready for Valentine's Day! The misspelling in Cake Wrecks is worth the price of admission. 

Anyway, check out the Cake Wrecks blog to see how funny this girl is. The writing is half the fun.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year, I must run upstairs and chain myself to the sewing machine for another day. Cheers!

Thanks

Just had to take a minute to say thanks to Jenn for the lovely birthday presents. Maple likes them too, especially the little bag. I'm feeling very lucky to have made such nice friends through my blog and Etsy. I still don't know many people here, so it's great to have my online friends. Thanks so much for the tiny monkey and his bag to sleep in, the candy and the little sketchbook. What a nice box to get from the mailman.
I think you can just see the corners of some more monkey fabric I ordered from Repro Depot too (it's still on sale and so is Katie Jump Rope, FYI). A friend of mine just had a baby & I've got to make her a matching monkey quilt and diaper bag...uh, in my spare time.
I must go sit still for an hour or so before bed, hope you all had a good weekend.
