A litle bit of craftiness over the weekend

I did a little bit of this...
...and a little bit of this...
...and some of this, too...
All in various stages of completion. Not to mention the 900 other things I have going at any given minute. I like to start new projects, what can I say? I promise to show FO when there are some actual FO's!
in other news:
  • Rumor has it that we are going to get some snow tomorrow! And while I usually never root for the white stuff, our winter has been so pathetic I would love for it to blanket us in it's crystalline white beauty. Then again, Thursday is GS cookie delivery day, and I will have to unload 50 cases of cookies out of the car. By myself. Gah.
  • It was report card week! My smartie girl got 2 A+'s and 6 A's (she's such an under achiever!) and my equally smart boy got high marks all across the board. He's had a rough semester behaviour-wise, so I was worried that it would be reflected in his grades. Lucky for him, it wasn't. Now he can sleep in the house with the rest of the family.
  • Starting to plan my SIL's baby shower. Emma spent hours looking at all the schnitzel available online that you can get personalized for showers. Obviously, she won't have access to the credit card or we would have more crap than we know what to do with! If anyone knows any good, fun baby shower games, pass them along! I'm trying to be more creative than baby bingo.
  • We went to a soccer warehouse sale this weekend, where we got 2 pair of cleats, one soccer ball, one mini ball, one pair of shinguards, one really nice pair of goalie gloves, one mens' track pants and one pair of shorts...all for under $100. Everything was 50-85% off. There were hundreds of people crammed into this tiny 'warehouse' of madness. Couldn't get out fast enough.
  • I'm hoping Bart can get the snowblower started...

Ooooh, I'm drooling over that quilt! One of the games we planned at my baby shower was for each of the guests to draw a picture of what the baby would look like with a crayon and with their eyes closed. I got the choose the 'winner' - some of them were funny, some super cute. And I got to keep them all.

PS. Can't wait for GS cookies :)

That's more than just a bit of craftiness. :-)

No thoughts about the baby shower games. When I was the lucky recipient, I confess to putting my swollen foot down and saying NO.
