gearing up
Just two days away from Thanksgiving being over and Christmas officially beginning in our house. Already Christmas bells are ringing...in my head. in a manic ding! don't forget this! ... ding! who's going to do that?... ding! what about those? sort of way. I'm a few online orders away from being a much calmer person. It's so hard with Oscar's birthday right before Christmas. I feel like I'm just doing everything half assed. The most I've done for Oscar's birthday, which is only a week away, is buy paper plates. Oh well, I'm thinking keep it low-key as long as I can get away with it. Doesn't take much to make a 2 year old's day. As it is I think our goals will be met -- by December 26th every single toddler toy every made should be living in our house. On a more chipper, less buy-it-all, Christmas note I've already started decorating. Like Amy (so pretty!), I've dug out the glittery fake snow and am setting up scenes. What I'm really excited about this year is my new kitchen Christmas tree. Yes, I realize I'm taking a step down the slippery slope that leads to a house full of theme trees. I am a few short years away from being featured on Extreme Homes the Christmas edition (oops link fixed) and when they ask what started it all, I can point blame at these extremely painfully cute kitchen ornaments by Midwest of Canon Falls.
Really I had no choice.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I'll be working on wee ornaments between courses so hopefully they'll be up for sale next week. Also in time for Christmas present buying, patchwork robots and the Patchwork Set dolls and quilts will be for sale in the wee wonderfuls shop!

I can't resist Christmas ornaments, those are awfully cute. I'm making room for wees on my tree, though. We seem to be adding a tree each year around here. The kids each have a small one in their room, there's one in the family room, one in the living room. Hmmmm...I hadn't thought of the kitchen. 'Till now : ) Happy Thanksgiving Hillary!

I hear you about trying to pull off a December birthday amidst the holiday frenzy, but rest assured, you're ahead of the game. I don't even have the paper plates yet for E's 3rd birthday the week after next.

patchwork robots?! Yay! That sounds great! I love the idea of your kitchen-themed Christmas tree by the way.

5 days and no post? The anticipation is killing me! Can't wait to see what you've done decorating-wise. Your posts are always inspiring, and I'm in dire need!
Hope all is well.

Wow--those are just about the cutest ornaments I have ever seen. They could drive anyone to extreme decorating! I love the little stove.

Oscar's birthday is near Christmas? I know it must add to the mania, but I've got you beat (what a terrible statement). My daughter was born 13 years ago on Christmas morning. I always say it was the worst Christmas ever. We already had a 14mo son, moved into a new house THE DAY BEFORE, and here she was born on Christmas morning. No rest for the weary. And poor little girl - as hard as I try, I don't think she ever feels like she's had a proper birthday. I'm looking forward to seeing everything you're planning to show us about Oscar's birthday bash this year. :)
