Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow...

We got about a foot of snow in a few short hours today. School's closed early and Zach was even able to come home by 3:00! To pass time, I decided to catch up on some crafts I have in my "to do" pile.

Once in a while, I have Kylie pick out a fabric she likes so I can make her something special out of it. Of course she picked out the ballerina this time so I made her a new pillow (she likes the home made ones), a small blanket and a scarf. Look how I tied the bag shut...

After nap time, we had a madefromscratch hot chocolate party. My girl over a Tillaboro Orchard gave me a deliciously yummy recipe for hot chocolate on the stove. Not sure if I can share or not, so bug her if you want the recipe.
*don't you just love Kylie's attire...

and yes my table cloth matches my dishes!

Since I am on a picturepostingrampage, I thought I would share with you my first two items for the babies room. We (you know Zach really didn't have a say) have decided to make it a little owl's nest. Since the nursery will be in a creative spot off of our bedroom, I figured it was a perfect theme, plus my interest in little owlies has grown!

LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT TARGET...and check out that price tag. *it's a night light in case you were wondering!
Since Zach was home early, I could actually get my sewing machine out and in action. I made this cute little owlie pillow. I am pretty proud of myself since I have never even drawn a owlie before. Zach wasn't thrilled about the colors, but who needs traditional! Lets go for the bold! Let me know what you think???
Today turned out to be a pretty production day...I even cleaned the bathroom with my new favorite cleaning product! It's and oldie but a goodie. Lets see who can guess what it is...

My dad use to sing a song about the product when we were younger. I know kinda scary huh?? The winner will receive a home made gift!!! GET GUESSING...

blank will make your face turn green. blank is made a gasoline. blank will make you vomit, so try some blank and vomit with me!!

lol well I obviously don't know the comet song. maybe you should record it and post it so I can learn it!

and BTW, I will gladly make you a flower beanie hat for your babe, actually I am sure I could make one for Kylie! Just tell me how wide her head is right above her ear *both my boys are 21 in. around as well as 'the crown of her head'...which is above the eyebrows I guess is the best way to describe....

oh and what color hat and flower? :)

Kara said...

So yes, It is COMET! Now...we have a problem. Miss Andrea did guess it first, but managed to spell it wrong. So does she win or does to prize go to Lori R? hhhmmmmmm. Whatcha all think?
