I had a very nice Thanksgiving break. Chase and I cooked ourselves a mini Thanksgiving dinner for just the two of us that night (after family lunch earlier in the day). It was really good and we still have leftovers after eating on them all weekend. The rest of the weekend was cleaning, errands, and our "Friends-giving" yesterday night which was a lot of fun. Yesterday we put Christmas out: ...
(edit: this is a guess at what picture was posted here. When I moved from flickr to smugmug in 2015 a lot of my photo data was lost, so I'm only guessing this is our tree photo from 2012. looks about right...?) We did things differently this year! Chase and I opened each others' presents tonight, instead of Christmas morning. He made me a recipe box! I'd been wanting one and he ...
Christmas is all over. It never really felt like Christmas to start with, it was weird. But, I thought I'd share a few things I got. First I forgot to mention that we got a new bench/trunk for the end of our bed, and a sofa table for the living from my aunt. Both much needed! Here's my pic of some of what Chase got me from Christmas morning: ...
I made a couple of presents this year! First, for my youngest cousin, I made a little reversible dress-up cape. Purple is her favourite colour so I went with a lavender velvet for one side, and sparkley purple for the other. It was a fun little project. Next, I made an ornament out of felt for my aunt, of her dog, Daisy. I didn't get photos of it finished, unfortunately ...
Made the decision to go ahead and decorate on Thursday: We haven’t finished painting the living room or finished the new mantle – but I couldn’t wait; if I’d waited on all that to be done we’d probably wouldn’t have put the tree up til February. Ha. So excuse the unfinished mantle, but it’s nice to have the tree next to the fireplace. Looks nice ...
Sorry I haven't posted since last week! Obviously Christmas kept me busy, and then it was back to work. I have the next two days, the weekend, and Monday off. I'm super excited about that. I'm staying home, chilling, doing some artwork, some puzzles and some sewing. So here's the recap. Friday was Christmas with the bigger side of my family. It actually went by much faster than usual. Food ...
I'm at my grandmothers :) spent the day reading, napping, and shopping. Did some drawing, too. Here's some crappy pics from my cellphone. Black Canary and Huntress, i need to clean this one up a little proportion wise, but Id liked to finish it. The classic trio, been reading harry potter all day so felt the urge to doodle them again. Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley. I never drew Luna back ...
We've been busy! Friday night after work, we went out to eat and then ran over to Oak Court mall. I've always loved that mall but we don't get over there very often. We had 2 things on the agenda: christmas presents, and also, new clothes for Chase. He's wanting to get a few more "professional" looking things, for lack of a better word - just things that look nice when ...
1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate? I don't really care for hot chocolate, but since I've never had eggnog, I'll have to go with hot chocolate. 2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? When I as little Santa sat them under the tree. Now we wrap everything unless it's too big. (No kids to surprise.) 3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? both, right now we have a ...
Friday night Chase and I decorated the house. Chase put up the tree while I put out everything else, we had Elf on the TV and I baked some cookies. It was fun :) Here's a few crappy cell phone pics. Not a lot new on the tree this year. Nothing geeky (didn't see any we had to have from Hallmark this year) - we just picked a few cute things ...
