I Think I'll Call Her Bella

Bunny #2 is off the needles . . .

. . . and will soon be on her way to another baby shower !!!!

Love these bunnies !!

A New Nook

This chair used to be in our mudroom/laundry room . . .

Marty used to perch on it & watch critters through the window !!

Now it's upstairs in my craft room . . . where it's clearly meant to be !!!

Love my new knitting nook !!!!

(and Marty can still perch on it & enjoy the view !)

It Happens Every January

That would be the "floofing" of our Marty !

(He became known as a "floofer" when we combined "poofy" and "fluffer" !)

Each January, he starts to fluff out a little around the edges . . .

. . . and a little more . . .

By springtime, he's pretty fluffy indeed . . . !

And by summertime, he's a full-on woolly-mammoth !!

And then the big-time shedding begins . . .

all to bring us back to January again, for the floofing !!!

Love our "Little Bear" !

"Makes Me Smile" Monday

They certainly are !!!!

Happy Holidays

Homemade Holiday

That's the kind I like best !

And it seems to be the trend in our office gift-giving, too. It's so much fun to

come up with new, creative, and frugal homemade gifts each year . . .

and to see what everyone else comes up with, too !

This year I've gotten homemade jams, jellies, caramel corn,

oreo bark, chocolate pops, and so on . . . great ideas !!

So here's my 2011 homemade nifty-gifty . . .

SO GOOD !!!

Only 12 more months to come up with next year's gifts . . . !!!
