IHeartFaces, week 4: texture

I love using textures, so this was a tough decision! I chose this photo because I think Nathan is making an incredibly awesome face in it. He really has a flair for drama!

check out some other excellent textured photos at I Heart Faces!

365.355: young foot

THREE days left til Christmas Eve! I have THREE gifts that are not complete. One hasn’t even been started! Fortunately, the other 2 are at least 75% complete. I hope I can finish both up by the end of the night, so that I have at least 2 days to work on the last, then [...]

A different type of Rudolph

I went to pick up Nathan at school and came home with a Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer-boy! I kind of love Pre-K.

He’s a jack of all faces. See 2 more on my flickr page, [[here]].

Since this seems to be the week of Rudolph, here is our favorite rendition of the classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” [...]

the Rudolphs

On Saturday evening, Nathan I put together two dozen candy-cane Rudolphs. I remember my mom making these when I was little, so I thought it’d be a cute little party favor for his class.

His teacher bought stockings and asked for stocking stuffers, so I bought some stickers, pencils, erasers, and we put these together. [...]

Christmas knitting detour

I started gift #9 on Tuesday, but put it down on Wednesday (yesterday) to start a woolly hat for my four year old. His woollies have been passed down to his brother, so his ears are quite cold when we’re out. And that is just not acceptable.

I chose one of my all-time favorite hat patterns, [...]

Handmade gift pile

On Sunday, I added two gifts to my pile. They were easy peasy, as most comments on my pattern can attest to.

Since then, I’ve added two more. As of today, I have 7 gifts complete. I started #8 this morning. I lowered my list by 1, but I think I’m going to re-knit #3, so [...]

Polaroid Week 2009

Did you know it was ‘Roid Week on Flickr? It started on the 2nd, Monday, and runs through Friday. The weird thing is I DIDN’T KNOW, but I pulled out my Spectra on Halloween and have been snapping photos with it since then. I’m on my last pack and what a way for it to [...]

saturday, the 31st

Did you know this is the first Halloween on a Saturday since 1998? We took advantage. The boys spent a good chunk of the day outside. The weather was amazing and they toddled around barefoot. Andrew really likes bikes, now, so he had a wonderful time. After dinner the boys got into their costumes (for [...]

he’s a winner!

Today, Nathan won this pumpkin in a class raffle. He was so happy to bring him home! He even let me take his photo with it!

I hope everyone has a wonderful [and safe!] Halloween!
