the possibilities are endless

Welcome 2011

and I am kind of relieved, actually really relieved. All went well here at home. Lots of family parties, movie nights, games, and eating. (all mostly undocumented due to broken camera sent in for second time)

We did have one mishap however- Jacob fell while backpedaling at his tennis lesson and caught himself with his left hand.

You are right- both bones in his forearm are broken.

After spending 5 + hours at Primary Children's Hospital Jacob had a molded splint to hold his newly set bones in place. Yet another traumatic mothering experience, but boy was I glad we live close to such an awesome facility as PCH. He of course got the royal treatment from me and all his relatives. His arm is now cast and he is doing much much better.

Bookwreath-1

My favorite holiday project I  made was a book wreath (managed to get a decent shot using sis's camera)

Wreathclose-1

It has not been destroyed by my boys yet. I might try to make a large one for the front door. Hmm.

As for my favorite gift I made, it was a tea cup lamp inspired by this post. Turned out adorable!!

Making 2011 calendars as a New Year gift for school teachers using this from Celeste.

 

Mirros

As for other 2011 projects, I really really want to make a grouping of mirrors like these, to put above my living room couch and I have three mirrors collected so far. Speaking of projects

My one word for the year is

TealSky

Yes I start so many things and end up not finishing half of them, and that is ok for the most part. For this I want to finish projects before I start new ones. Wish me the stamina I will need to see through a project from start to finish.

Oh and catch me chatting with the Paper Life girls tomorrow

 

Have a great week!!
