Merry Christmas!!!


We had a grand Christmas day on Saturday.  I'll let the pictures do the talking.

 



 

 

 

 

 



Ok I changed my mind I have to comment on Emma's kitchen.  I've seen a lot of homemade kitchens floating around the web & when our neighbor gave us a free entertainment center I decided I could make a kitchen.  So Jeremy sanded it, Emma chose the paint color, Poppie drilled the hole for the sink appliances & painted it, my Mom painted the oven window & Jeremy glued the other stuff on so yeah I sure did a great job huh?  Haha, well I knew other people would do a great job.  But I do plan on sewing some curtains for the bottom shelves for my contribution.  How could I do that, you ask, without a sewing machine??

 

Well yup that was my great, exciting but terrifying gift!  Jeremy had to actually go & buy it for me cuz I just couldn't bring myself to do it even though I've been wanting this seriously for about 3 years.  I'm scared but so excited.  I have never sewn without my Mum there to interpret pattern lingo & you know finish the zipper or sleeve or whatever I was frustrated with.  And that was about 15-18 years ago so this will be new & tricky but I will be taking baby steps so it will be okay.  And when I don't have my Mum I have youtube & it can remind me how to thread my bobbin if I forget =)

The kitchen turned out great, love the knobs!! I didn't think we sent suckers to Dallen, how did he like it? And that pot, I didn't know it was big enough a child could sit in it. Looks like you had a fun day:) Love you, drive safely!!
