Train Table

It was meant to be a simple wood working project for the boys Christmas... After a couple trips to Home Depot and A LOT of help from my dad... William and Henry now have a home made table for their trains.... or Legos... or anything else they can dream up I suppose. It was suppose to be a Christmas present but Christmas came about a week early. We'll paint it this spring... stay tuned for the final project... And for future projects now that I have a new drill... Watch out for Dawn with power tools.....

Baking night

I hosted my first annual baking night earlier this month. A few of my friends came over and we spent the evening baking cookies, dipping chocolates, sampling goodies and the like. It was hosted under the intent to get stocked up on your Christmas cookies... and though I can't speak for everyone, I didn't really get stocked up on anything. The whole plate of cookies was gone in just a few days... Mighty tasty. It was so much fun I've had many a request to make it a tradition. Yippee!!! Maybe I'll have more willpower next year.

Monkey hat pics...

okay, so I'm a little obsessive about this monkey hat eh... well.. I just saw a pic of the two recipients of the matching monkey hats, so I had to post it... hehehehe... too funny!

Quit your Monkeying Around.... the Sequel!

Okay, it's done... the adult version of the hat is finished. Of course from the pic you have no reference to size, so Morgan, one of these days you'll have to send me a pic of it on your noggin'! It got a bit big... okay, it got really big... but it works... Now you and little Noah can match, MorgO. The hats will be too big for both of you!!!!

Quit your monkeying around!!!

When I found out Morgan and Amber were having a baby, I already knew what I was going to make for them... in fact it was done before they were even halfway through the pregnancy! hehehe... too fun! There is an adult version of the monkey hat in the works. (Morgan was jealous and wants one of his own) I'll post a pic when it's done.

T..

So back in June we had a girls night in alex. We were a little crazy.. as always... and came up with an idea for a gift for one of our firends who couldnt be there that night. she is expecting a baby... probably any day now.. you would have to understand T... and the rest of use girls for that matter to truly appreciate this little onesie that Elmo is modeling... but I made this shirt for T on behalf of all of us girls. it matches all of T's many... many... many fleet farm shirts from her years in 4H. She got a big kick out of it!

Kitchen Shtuff.

I've been taking a break from blankets and afghans and worked on lots and lots of dish cloths (knit) and potholders (crochet). They are fun, and quick and easy. I made a set for some each of the ladies in the lutherans for life group that I worked with here in fort wayne and I made a set for a co worker of bens who recently moved into a new house. We been watching lots of Xfiles on DVD in the evenings so I've had lots of time to knit and crochet. fun fun fun!
