surprise!


Surprise! It's me! I know, you thought I had quit blogging forever, but fear not. Here I am. Not quite sure what my deal is, but I'm obvs in quite the blogging slump. Anyway, here's the latest...

1. I'm super excited to have won a giveaway on a blog I like to read and never get around to making any recipes from. I just envy her recipes and pretend I'll cook like that one day when I have lots more time, money, and adventurous eaters. Here's what we won!

2. I have been making stuff. Shocking, I know. Here's the stuff I've been making, modeled - as usual - by my neglected children; and photographed by a non-professional with a Superbad camera.

Wanted to make more legwarmers for Zoe, so I used the sides of this sweater tank top. Then, made a hat out of the bottom... I found this sweater for $1 at goodwill, so it was NOT a high stakes project. I got it to make the legwarmers, and didn't want to waste the rest of it


And made a bag out of the rest, since Zoe LOVES to carry around a purse, and what girl wouldn't want matching purse, hat & leg warmers?!! The beginning of a pillow I made for our bedroom, to go with the new valences
New valences in the living room. I know, we have a lot of valences. The deal is that Craig doesn't like curtains, and I needed a little color in ye olde living room. Hence, valences. Yeah, we compromise.

I have more pictures on our other memory card, so hopefully there will be more blogging soon!

I know what you mean about being in a blogging slump! If it wasn't for the snow, I would have nothing!
