With this being the last week in November we are continuing the “finishing” trend. The boys have ornaments to make and gifts to decide on and since we do a bit of mailing to the states and abroad (ouch the postage!) all that needs to be determined in the very near future.
The boys had a great start to their day – due to the H&W sale on flats of strawberries not only did they get bananas in their cereal and milk but the berries too! What a treat! I am debating the cost and complexity of making strawberry tarts this week as a super special treat. It is going to take some hunting on the internet to see what recipes I can come up with I think.

Zander finished a rather major project today out of Perler beads and with minimum assistance from any adults! The picture was in the little idea magazine that comes with the tray of beads. He made what he is calling a “pushing truck”. It took about 3 days worth of work but what a great result!

Our trip outside the house was quite lucrative. We stopped at our photographer’s house and nabbed out of their mailbox our photo cd. I am very happy with the pictures. While Trinity was not at her best we got more than a few of the boys as well as of Ken and myself. All in all worth the 25.00. I look forward to when Ken has to fulfil his promise and have Morris do my maternity pictures (part of the deal is that with baby #5 I get honest to goodness proper maternity photos… after all that SHOULD be the last one).

I made a quick drop in at the local thread store to get the threads to replace the missing in post birthday card. Ken is mailing that off tomorrow. I wish I could have had more time BUT this Saturday is their 25th anniversary sale so I am thinking we will go over before the puppet show at the library and take a peek around. Maybe pick up something special to stitch onto a Christmas gift?
My newest stitching completion – Chibi Bunny with his tiny orange carrot! The next in the Chibi series – a DRAGON! Chibi Bunny SHOULD be up for purchase (pattern wise) late tomorrow.
Chibi Bunny!
So not the most exciting of days BUT the patterns are coming along nicely now. I should be starting a commission tomorrow and then there are the Chibi Dragon AND a cupcake to work on. Ken has figured out most of the issues with the site so updating should be MUCH easier… So keep checking back!
