Your girls are so big now! It's been a long time since I've been on blogs; I saw a link to your blog from boston.com and had to come over here! We moved to Lexington this summer and we're having a great time here!

the Sukkah is up
The Sukkah is up! We put the walls up on Friday afternoon in about 45 minutes. This is our Sukkah's fourth anniversary and we're old pros now. It rained all day Saturday and threatened rain for Sunday morning so our annual Sukkah party didn't happen, but we managed to put the roof on and th...
Such great decorations! I'm particularly taken with the kindergartener's fish and the seeded napkin rings. Did you make the seeded paper too? Somehow glue the seeds onto the paper?

D O N E
Two evenings of making at least a million pompoms and here's the result. Our "green themed" auction was last night. Its done! Using "The World Ahead" as our inspiration, all the decorations were earth-inspired round shapes. Click on the photos to see them larger which is better. Peter c...
Oh! Thanks for the reminder that I have to get it in gear! I keep forgetting for some reason...

will I finish it in time?
I may have to pull an all nighter...
I love wooden toys, the feel of them is so much nicer than plastic. We've gotten some wonderful wooden toys here: http://stumppondtoy.etsy.com

acorns are fun
I placed an order a few weeks back with what has become a favorite local wood shop. I first learned about this place, ironically, through Siri - halfway across the country - when she posted her source for wooden acorns in this post (which I still refer to often for all of its acorn goodness). ...
Thanks for the momformation link, I needed that!
My favorite etsy shops for kids:
stumppondtoy (absolutely wonderful wooden toys, we've gotten several!)
RubySubmarine (who can't use a crocheted octopus?)
BirdNerd (love her bird pins)
dreamalittle7 (the juicy bugs are way too cute)
obviousfront (for big kids like my dh, capacitor charms)
...and my kids' shop, LittleElf (knitted elf hats)

sharing the handmade love for the holidays
I'm starting to write a regular feature on the babycenter site about buying handmade for the holidays. I am going to feature two etsy shops at a time in each post--one shop with gifts for big people, and one with gifts for little people. I wrote my first post today and featured two shops--Ind...
Wow, how wonderful! Congrats on the new "baby"!

my new gig
Starting today, you'll be able to find me in a new spot. I'll be writing for the babycenter website as part of their group of blogs called, Momformation. I'll be there pretty often, (five times a week! yikes!) writing about topics of inspiring creativity in our children. But I promise I won'...
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this. But it sounds like you've got a really good outlook! Here's to much happiness coming your way!

The curse of the knitted sweater
When I started knitting a sweater for my recently departed (yes, he's gone kids, not coming back, can someone please explain it to the cat, the cat misses his lap) partner, affectionately known as Doughman, I ignored "the curse". That's superstitious crap, I told myself. Rubbish. Well ladies and...
That's going to be a great quilt! I love the green background.

Beginning to pull it together
Forgive the blurry photo. Its one of those Seattle days when you're not gonna get enough natural light no matter how many blinds you open. For lack of a design wall, I'm pinning these squares to a white tablecloth on the biggest flat surface I can find that's not the floor-my bed. I can no...
I didn't realize there was a cat stigma in blogs, guess I'm behind as usual. I love seeing pictures of other people's pets, particularly their cats. Yours is such a cutie!

Bring your pet to blog day
The gals at Port2Port have bring your pet to blog day on Thursday's. There's a sort of stigma attached to posting about your pets and in particular your cat. Quite divided and definite opinions. I'm not sure where I sit. Maybe if I had children I'd post about them, would there be complaints/judg...
Oooo, these look delicious! I'm going to have to make some. One question: "baking powder" is listed twice in the ingredient list. Is the second one supposed to be baking soda?

In the kitchen
UPDATE: It seems in my rush to eat my cookies i made a few boo boo's in the recipe. I have corrected them now, thanks to those of you that pointed them out. I'll be sure to double check them from now on. Sorry! First of all i'd just like to thank all of you that sent me well wishes, i'm feel...
