Pictures for Everyone

Here is the Christmas Cactus picture for Jen. Sorry it is sideways! And Carole: I have no idea how I got them to bloom. I have three and they are all blooming. It is my first time having them. Perhaps neglect?? I am pretty bad remembering to water them!



My rabbit fur booties!! These would probably fit 4-6 months or so. Pretty damn cute. All hand stitched. Not sure how much to charge for them at the craft fair:


My bootie army is starting to take shape!


For Stacy and Heather- the matching dog sledding booties:


I bought some fabric that didn't work well for the booties. So I have made some Northern Stockings out of them! I will try and sell them at the craft fair too. I just have to make leather ties to hang them with.


And all of my wonderful fur coats from Indigo!!

I LOVE INDIGO!

A couple of weeks ago I asked Fawn in Whitehorse to look at a fur coat for me. I cut them up to trim out the booties I make for kids. Well lovely Indigo Sweetwater was reading and sent me a treat.

Today my husband picked up a rubbermaid from the greyhound sent by Indigo all the way from Kamloops. Inside, it was packed with fur coats!!!!! They are all perfect for what I do. There is hundreds (actually more I bet) of dollars worth of coats in there. There was even this beaver shawl thing that I am in love with and have been wearing ever since I opened the container. I asked to pay her. Nope. She wouldn't have any of that. She likes to barter instead, so she will be getting a lovely pair of booties later this month.

I have never met Indigo in person. She is another one of the wonderful people I have "met" by keeping this blog running. She has sent us a parcel in the past just full of sewing goodies and toys for Hunter. Indigo travels the north (and the world) and I hope that we will be able to meet in person soon.

Thank you Indigo. I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness so much!

WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THAT!! HOW RETARDED ARE THESE PEOPLE????

Christmas Cactus Allergy??

Does anyone out there have an allergy to Christmas Cacti when they are in bloom?

Today, my cacti started to bloom and I have been sneezing like mad all afternoon and evening. I went out of the house for a ladies craft night and didn't sneeze there once. Now I am home and sneezing again.

Or am I just a nut and losing it completely?

For Auntie Wenda

So I have been told via my mother that my Auntie Wenda says I need to suck it up, quit whining about yakking and just post more pictures of the boy!

Alright. I guess I can do that!

Hunter taking a break from beating daddy with a pen:


Playing outside a few weeks ago:


Quality time with dad:


ps. We miss you Auntie Wenda! Can't wait to see you next summer!

Better!

The boy slept until 10 after 6 this morning!! Much better than this weekend. His naps are right on time now too.

I hope I can keep it like this. Before 6 in the morning is just too early.

I hate the time change.

For everyone else it means sleeping in an extra hour. For me, it means a baby who woke up at quarter to 4 today instead of quarter to 5.

It is going to be a long day.
