It's that time of the year again.... when the girls give up half of their play room to a table covered in seed trays.  When we start daydreaming about the fresh produce we'll be eating in no time.  When we rush to get the peas in the ground before it gets too warm.  It's the almost spring push and it never fails to make me feel like re-organizing, cleaning, rethinking how I do things.  Late winter fever??  I don't know, but at least it seems to make me productive.  I'm moving stuff out of the house with a vengeance!  How is it that we manage to accumulate so much stuff?!  And stuff we really do not need?

My current big project is The Great Room Swap of 2013.  Yes, Emma is finally getting her own room.  Sparked by Olivia deciding to sleep at the foot of Mary Claire's bed every.single.night.  Who knew it would be so hard to separate Emma and Mary Claire's stuff... same size clothes, into the same toys, and rooming together for the last 3 years.  Not sure what I was thinking but it's too late to turn back now!!!  My list of projects has also grown with the move.... a rug, blanket, and decorations for Emma's new abode all seem to be top priority (to her at least!). 

Snow!

Yes, this evening it snowed.  Not for a very long time, but enough to accumulate over an inch.  Hopefully it will still be there in the morning for the girls to play in.

Inside I chose to sit and crochet in front of a toasty fire. One of my recent projects - booties for my newest nephew Caleb!

Valentines

Not sure how I've caught the Valentines bug.... but all of a sudden I want to make heart shaped ice, sugar cookies with red sprinkles, hair bows with heart on them, make red, gawdy cards....  And thankfully I have three little girls who are happy to join me in any and all Valentines decorating, planning, doing that my little heart desires.  I guess after a long winter of crocheting, I'm enjoying some different "domestic goddess" type projects! 

Oh, and my other side project right now - trying to take what I would only guess to be at least 5,000 pictures I've taken in 2012 and condense them down into a 12ish page coffee table photo book.  This should be interesting....
