We were on our way to a Thanksgiving meal and had picked up "Grandma Ethel" along the way. I asked if she wanted to go to the apple farm with us, and said unfortunately I was not giving her much warning. She said "No problem, I'll be ready before you get here." When 'A' was an infant, she gave 'A' lots of attention at church. I think this is such a sweet picture.</div>

For the cheetah heads above, I got a free pattern from <a href="http://www.papiertigre.fr/le-trophee">this</a> cool shop for a tiger, enlarged it, print it on card stock, cut it out, folded according to lines, but backwards so that I could make it look somewhat like a cheetah instead of a tiger. </div>

The birthday invitation. This is such a cool idea (from <a href="http://ohhappyday.com/2011/03/confetti-invitations-template/">here</a>), but to be honest, it didn't work out very well. I glued the tops down too tight, so they didn't send confetti and the invite flying through the air like they were supposed to. Oh well.<br />

Pinata loot. I had fun putting this together.

'O' gets a little extra practice with writing his numbers. I must admit, it was hard to get excited about counting down until Valentine's day right after we used this for the family cruise vacation followed by Christmas. It still adds a little excitement and anticipation into 'O's' day though!<br />

Tutorial for this is found at <a href="http://www.armommy.com/holidays/woop-it-heart-day-style/">armommy</a>, one my new favorite blogs (new to me, I mean!). Armommy's totally rocks. Not much I could do about my ugly wall color (on Sunday we are going to paint a wall in the living room, at last...can't wait!). Anyway a fun, festive, and easy project. I made the pdf file into a png file and then cut out the letters on my Silhouette machine.<br />

My goal was to not stress bigtime or put in late nights for the playdate, thus, some of the cute details were missing. Such as making the toothpicks in these tomato hearts look like arrows.<br />

I made this for a friend. I love the idea of a budget wallet. I don't know if I'll ever get one made for myself, but I think it would be a great motivator for taking cash out according to a budget, and sticking to it. </div>

We spent Christmas in Hope at Sancho's parent's place. There was a little bit of snow here and there, and we managed to get a picture of the kids in it.<br />

At Oma and Opa's church, 'O' got to be Joseph with his cousin being Mary. I think 'O' will be a good actor. He was told to look tired when walking up the aisle with Mary and donkey, and he was very convincing (not so much in this picture, but on the day, he acted the part).<br />

We went to public skate during the holidays. Sancho and Tey also took 'O' and the oldest 'N' cousin 4x4ing in the mountains, and managed to get stuck, of course. The kids loved this. Sancho and I had to go back to Abbotsford for the morning of Christmas Eve and the kids went swimming then, which I was sad to miss.<br />

I managed to get a very simple home decor project done in this fashion a few months ago, right before my sister came to visit (I love to use the arrival of guests as motivation to get projects around the house completed). I say this project was simple, but I repainted some on-hand flower pots that were glazed and, thus, painting them was a bit of a chore. I initially used a skin-tone color instead of the pink but it just wasn't right. I am happy with the final colour palette.<br />

I'm itching to see if this dress even fits A (she is still sleeping). Once again, I had the last minute drive to make a project for this week's sew along. So, at 4pm on Thursday, I started cutting. After a break for cooking, eating, running errands, and putting kids to bed, I was back at the sewing. I didn't run into any troubles, but it still took me until almost midnight to finish this. I used a linen look fabric and the tutorial over at <a href="http://cally-cruze.blogspot.ca/">Calico</a>. It was nice to just completely follow a tutorial for once. I have a lot to learn about making clothing, so I think I should stick mostly to patterns for awhile!</div>

I combined some patterns for this ensemble and added the skirt. The hood is from Anna Horner's Handmade Beginnings Baby-in-the-Hood jack. The top part of the dress is the Crossover Tee from Sew Liberated. The pants are made by tracing a pair of A's current leggings. </div>

There was little to like about the previous place that we lived (until June) from a decorating perspective, but I did enjoy this bathroom montage I quickly put together. The rest of the bathroom reminded me very much of the bathroom in my grandma's house while I was growing up (in full 80's/early 90's design, pink floral tile, brown tub and toilet, and ornate brass hardware....oh yeah!). </div>

Seriously, this is how excited he was when he saw the house that was all ready for his party. O spent the day with Oma and Opa, his aunty, and cousins. It was such a treat for me to be able to have the time to focus on getting the party ready. The least stressful party yet, I think.</div>

Jet packs for each of the kids, idea from <a href="http://www.doodlecraft.blogspot.ca/2012/04/super-sci-fi-rocket-fueled-jet-pack.html">here</a>. These worked out better than I could have imagined aside from the silver paint that I used (way too sparkly and not enough silver). Sancho put the bottles together with tie wraps, so they are never coming apart and the straps are screwed to the back (these bottles are made of thicker plastic than most). The flames, however, will have to be glued into the opening over and over again.</div>

This cake stand was a last minute project that was a long shot (inspired by <a href="http://www.djeco.com/">Djeco</a>, one of my favorite toy companies). And it worked! I was so stoked. I recently learned about the wonders of foamboard and a foamboard cutter. Less than 30 minutes, people! I'll share another project made with this sometime. Because I was short on time, I was not aiming for anywhere near perfection; I was just glad the circle 'plates' fit in the rocket slots. This rocket will not likely make it to another party, but it worked for the evening and I was pleased.<br />

Back when my sister was visiting, O broke his arm on a playground. The story he tells is that he was: "I was 4 feet high, on a slide, then I jumped." We didn't see it so we'll never know for sure. But it wasn't a slide, which may have been part of the problem (perhaps he was trying to slide down what was actually a climbing surface with no sides and large climbing holds). His arm was really twisted and broken in two places. Anyway, I got a picture of O's cast just before it came off. This was his second. I think O was a bit disappointed to lose it. Not only because he no longer got the extra attention because of it, but he was told that he could not run, jump, or ride a bike. Surprisingly, he tried really hard to keep these rules most of the time, but it was very tough for a 3-year-old. I was initially a little concerned about the crookedness of his arm, but it was mostly due to restricted range of motion, which has improved quickly. Now he has the doctor's permission to run, jump, ride a bike and even swing on monkey bars.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">We went for a walk the other day and Sancho had to make a quick getaway with O back to the house to use the bathroom. It was a special treat to walk leisurely (most of the way) back to the house with A. We had the bug catcher with us. 'A' handed it to me to open it and put something in it and then back to me to close it again. This happened a few times, but then A was picking up speed with the amount of 'treasures' (including dirt clumps) she was finding, so we left it open. So cute. I eventually picked her up and brought her home because it was clear we would otherwise never make it. Here she is examining her treasures:</span></div>

So this week's project run and play theme was fashion icon. I decided to do a remix of a Jackie O look. Because the fabric that I used for last week's challenge was so stiff, I wanted to do something comfy this week. So I used jersey material. Not the best choice for a paper bag skirt (doesn't hold shape well), but I learned a lot!</div>

I had a terrible time taking pictures of A. She would not stand and do nothing (imagine that, a 1-year-old who doesn't want to sit still!). Even though the picture below isn't great, I included it because she <i>isn't </i>chewing on a plastic hockey puck or carrying rocks!</div>

Before my sister arrived, O overheard Sancho and I say that we <i>might</i> go to the Seattle Zoo when my sister and family came to visit. Despite repeated explanations and being told that we would discuss it further, O did not seem to understand the <i>might</i> in the sentence and became entirely preoccupied with going to the zoo. The first thing he said to Heather when she arrived is "Are we going to the zoo?" So, we went. Not in Seattle though. We were able to borrow a few extra bikes, and we had a great time. Sorry, I didn't get many good pictures of us with the animals. Notice the girl cousins are wearing matching pants!Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03736733596874814417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466507651258427909.post-6670272880911362032012-09-16T21:07:00.003-07:002012-09-16T21:08:56.718-07:00Pacific National Exhibition<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I haven't been to the PNE in, oh, maybe 22 years. It was a good year to check it out again. O totally enjoyed it. We went with my sister when she was here with my niece and nephew and had a great time. We started off in the painting area. The kids loved it. </div>

I absolutely loved the Discovery Farm exhibit at the PNE and so did A. Unfortunately, we came back on another day when I didn't have my camera, but I took some fairly terrible iphone pics, maybe to be posted later. Each child puts on an apron and goes around the farm collecting things (apples, carrots, milk, honey, eggs, fish, wool, etc.). A caught on really quick and wanted to do everything by herself. She was collecting white eggs, and Marina asked her for a brown one. She immediately switched sides to where the brown ones are and, with much effort, reached to the back of the 'pen' and grabbed a brown one. So cute.<br />

At 8:00 pm last night I look at this week's challenge for Project Run and Play, and debated whether I should attempt the project. I have made a few things for my kids, but never modified a pattern. A skirt is probably the best place to start! The top is a modification of the envelope tee pattern from <a href="http://sewliberated.typepad.com/">Growing Up Sew Liberated</a>. </div>
