The truth is, I told myself that I wasn't going to post anything again until my quilt was finished. Well, the class ended in October and after safety pinning my quilt to our area rug (80 times... really) and becoming bff's with my seam riper, I am sad to report that the quilt remains incomplete. However, I have since taken a pillowcase dress making class and have been much more successful. I finished my 4th dress tonight! These little cuties are super easy to make and adorable. For pics check my Facebook album, "Pillow Talk" and stay tuned for an Etsy store featuring the dresses and other creations (but no quilts!).
Lucy is as busy as ever learning new words by the minute and putting thoughts and ideas together into short little sentences. Her latest favorite phrases are "I did it" (said in an excited, toddler-just-accomplished-something-new sort of way), "where'd go" (usually referring to something passing by the car window, a dog, or mommy or daddy), and "see ya". She now enjoys calling us "Mom" and "Dad" which I don't enjoy so much and she has a great time "tattling" on mommy and daddy. Now, we don't sneeze, yawn, or go "teetee" without the other one knowing. I am thoroughly enjoying my time with her now that I'm on Christmas break. She is such a fun, independent, imaginative, and silly little lady and I cannot express how much joy I feel each time I look at her.
In case I don't post before Christmas, (and lets face it, I probably won't) I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year...
(In this space, I planned to post our 2010 Christmas photo, however, I can't find it on the computer. So, if you will picture Jeff in a black and white zebra print Snuggy, me in a brown and black leopard print Sunggie, and Lucy in a hot pink Snuggie in front of a Christmas tree with happy grins on our faces, then you will be on the same page as I am when I say, "Snuggy" up to the ones you love and have a Merry Christmas!!!)
