Christmas Preparation Festivities
We hauled the Christmas decorations down out of the attic this Saturday: pre-lit artificial tree, giant box of ornaments and other holiday accoutrements (including the baby Santa hat that Connor still manages to fit on his noggin every year), giant box containing the Very Breakable lighted ceramic tree with music box, and the toy train that Grandpa Jim got Connor a couple years back.
This year, Connor decided to put the stickers on all the signs, then plunk them around the perimeter of the tree skirt. Mei was clearly unfazed.
After the halls were bedecked, Connor decided it was time to write out his Christmas list. Most of his wish list items came from the Mindware catalog that showed up in our mailbox, and a great many items made it onto his Amazon Wish List.
Connor’s already asking when we can go back to Children’s Wonderland to see Santa. Last year was the first time we took him to see Santa, and it clearly made an impression. I still haven’t been able to make myself use Santa as a behavioral prompt — Santa’s watching you!
It’s still early — not even December yet — but the holiday season is off to a good start.
I’m a Sewing Fool
Sewing has been my jam lately.
I’ve been trying to improve my skills and get more consistent at just a few things before moving on to something new. As evidenced from the above photo, number one on the list has been jammie pants.
Zippered Throw Pillow With Piping
I’ve been trying to expand my sewing skills slowly but surely, one project at a time. The project I’ve been chipping away at for the past few weeks is this throw pillow, made from a t-shirt I bought on vacation back in 2010.
