Wintery Living

Are you ready? I am overwhelmed! It has been hard to keep the space organized and it gets crazier, per day! Then I hum.m this song to myself... 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

I am pleased that S' new robe is finished and packed in the brown box without strings! It is something that I would love her to open up first! It would be a fun gift for her, since she has been giving me lots hints, per night! Yes, per night! I do take her words by heart and knowing this is the priority of making from the list! My shoulders are lighter when crossed off the robe from the list! There are still new stockings to make and the fabrics have been pull out for a few weeks now I still haven't get to them yet!  I decided to bring out stockings that made when I first started sewing, 2007, in case I won't make it on time! Then you know, within the old stockings there are lots little Christmas drawings and cards S wrote to me. The spaceship that she imaged that we would ride together and it has a kitchen and living room and two lovely captains! It made me smile and recalled the old days that we were in ND. 

The winter has been mild and the lawn still is green here! I wish, I wish a snowy holiday season for us! S and I could go on a snow walk and build a snowman together then of course hot coco top with whipped cream always is our favorite drink after all the snowy activities!  With the end of school year, music recitals, and packing/getting small presents; we have finally found time together to sew! S is making a gingerbread house as a gift and I made three ice cream cones tags. Oh, I so want to make {this} and {this}! Maybe during the night movie time? 

This year, the book orders placed quiet late, but hope will be here soon, so I can wrap them up! Oh, I did get a little something for me-self! It is a 2015 {planner}. I am such an old fashion! I love to write down the weekly events and doodle a little! It always tickles me when I revisit the old planners I kept! Do you have planner in your bag that you pull out? 

I was surprised to read S' wish list this year; it is short! The list is quiet simple, books, books, books, books!  I don't have a wish list for this year!  I am thankful and blissful with a cozy home to be and not need to live in our suitcase anymore! A place that we can get clutter, get disorganized, and get comfy! It is a wish came true!  S has already placed a little something for me under the tree and I am not allow to get near by! It will be another great gift, for sure!

Meanwhile, I will still try to get the stockings made, Lucky's cape made, mini pouches made, and cookies made! and keep hum.m.i.n.g..
