Sooooo, picture a Christmas elf with hoarding issues.
Got it?
Well, that's our living room: a one-stop, craft-shop, clutter-centre of our nest currently.
What with all the goodies I'm finishing for the upcoming Craft show, and the festive decor we're getting ready for our own home, it's getting pretty wild in here.
Daughter Azriel is a delighted blur of craftiness herself... wanting to make 'snowflakes' sopping in glue.
Baking sugar cookies with Grandma.
Dipping pine cones in cheery cherry paint (which mama will eventually attach ribbon bows to and hang in the window).
I try to not hyperventilate as she slaps the paintbrush around declaring in her most authoritative 3 year old voice: "I can do it MYSELF!"....
(I was almost tempted to introduce sparkles to this project... but then I remembered this crass - but true - reality.)
I love that our house is filling with festive hand.made decor... (although our Ben says we can't officially decorate until Dec.1st... Scroogey-Mc.Scrooge pants).
I still managed to get the advent bunting up in the window today - which reminded me that bunting makes any/every room 100% happier.
Speaking of happy.. there's our chunk of sunshine - Hudson!
He's such a dose of cutie-sweet-glow in our nest... I'm a total sucker for him.
Especially with his recent delight in playing peek-a-boo and laughing hysterically at himself!
(Note: any well meaning folk who see this toy and declare that 'walkers' are banned... please be aware there are NO stairs around here to tumble down! We just want him to fall for the illusion of walking since he's too fat to even crawl yet... hehe.).
So needless to say,
our nest is all aglow with festive handmade goodness lately.
I'm kind of loving it.
Kind of a lot.
When do you start decorating?
Mel ;o)
