One Tiny Stocking

December 10, 2009 RavenThreads

Just wanted to post because my kids were so sweet this morning. They insisted that, even though Connor won’t be born before Christmas, that he needs his own stocking, so we found him this:

See? A tiny baby stocking

I also wanted to write that, suddenly, Emalee has become obsessed with tea parties. She’s constantly setting them out and getting them ready to go. She puts her dolls in chairs and serves them tea. She sets the table and spreads it out for tea all the time. But, best of all, sometimes she can find a willing victim to actually play pretend with her. Here she is with her “MeMe” (also known as my Dad’s best friend, Sammy) playing this morning. They are sitting on my office floor. That’s the reason why they’re surrounded by file cabinets.

I’ve also got a cute new craft that I’ve been working on today. I’ve got far too much to do before Christmas if I’m going to make all my plans ring true! This is a little felt and burlap snowman wrap that will go around a quart jar to be able to gift a cookie mix. (I’m thinking “snowball” cookies!) The nose needs a little work. I’ve got it more rounded like a penguin than triangled like a snowman, but the next one will be better.
