The rug.... and playhouse

So here's my rug:

And I guess I have to admit that Allen's project is ever so slightly superior to my little rug. Presenting.... the playhouse:

Three day weekend.... yes please.

I'm currently enjoying a morning of sipping coffee and watching my girls play Little People (aka - Best Toys Ever). And I cannot think of a better way to spend a morning. There really isn't anything new from the Farm, and I haven't gotten around to uploading new pics, but felt it time to move away from a sad post being my most recent.

I have once again abandoned goals of a clean house happening on my weekend. Instead I'll be happy with some quality kid time and 6 loads of laundry!

Mourning

Sometimes being an adult sucks. Today is one of those days. A day when being an adult means getting a call first thing in the morning that one of your dogs is dead on the side of the road and not being able to leave work. Not being able to throw a childish fit that it is not fair. Not being able to show your pain because you can't let the kids know something is wrong yet. Still going about your day. And, eventually, having to sit those kids down and tell them that sweet, lovable Sheeba is no longer with us. That she will not be coming back home.

I guess our lives didn't get the memo that everything is supposed to slow back down after Christmas. Allen has been working like crazy on the playhouse (which looks ridiculously good - I am ready to move in!) while I have been working, playing with the girls, and contemplating opening an Etsy shop. The dilemma: I love creating stuff, but there is no way to price to adequately compensate for the time put in. I guess we'll see how January goes. In the meantime, I'm working on a rug for the girls playhouse. I'm crocheting it with old sheets. Hopefully I'll get around to photographing it soon.... maybe even inside the playhouse. Instead you can look at a few random farm shots.
