We went to a superbowl party, can you believe it? It was hosted by our friends Mary and Chris, whom we met at Jane and Visnu's wedding. So, most of the people that went to Thailand were there. It was a ton of fun to see them all. 

We all want to go on another trip together, since we did so well the first time around, and as strangers! We'll see....


Megan and Moustafa brought this apple pie, it was to die for. I almost died from the gluten after eating 2 slices, but it was worth it.

I've been working on new outfits and hairstyles for my dolls, what do you think??

So cute, right?

Teeny tiny bunny! This is the Miss Maggie Rabbit pattern, but half size!

Size comparison.

I've sent the quilts off for quilting, can you tell? I can't wait to finish them, so I'm biding my time making lots of tiny things.

Have you read The Cuckoo's Calling???? It's amazing!

We watched Coco while Jane and Visnu were in Japan... so she brought me candy! Yea!

See? I'm obsessed with tiny things right now. 

These are for Lindsay loo's American Girl doll. Her birthday is in May, so I've been making lots of doll clothes for her. Aren't these tiny Toms so cute?

Yea, the quilts are back! Now I'm sewing on the binding, and noodlebug is "helping."

My corners are getting better!

My attempt at cherry pie cookies! They need work, but they were delicious.

Finally getting some real progress done on the twin's baby quilts! They were born On December 18th. Little cuties, I can't wait to meet them!

I made a little chihuahua for my friend Kimberly.

More quilty progress!!!!







 photo IMG_1462_zps8570c750.jpg
I had to order the sashing fabric for the twins quilts, so while waiting impatiently and still feeling quite quilty, I started another quilt. 

Hahahaha I'm so crazy sometimes.

Stenciling gold gems for a new project that you won't see for quite some time....

...and working on some BMO's for Danny. He wanted one for his birthday, and since I'm terrible/hate making patterns, it's taking me awhile to get just right.

Cheating on my diet with some killer chocolate chip cookies. NOM.

Whoa, guys. My hair is sooooooo long! Yea!

Yoga and a nasty looking smoothie. It's the strawberries and spinach, mix those and you get brown.

Reading the Adventure Time comics before bedtimes with my man.

Yea, says noodlebug, lets roll on the floor together!

My most hated chore is cleaning the glass doors in the shower. You have to get in to scrub them, meaning you pretty much have to be naked and taking a shower to do so. 

Ugh, so not having glass shower doors if we ever own a home.

Napping with this fatso.

Family nap time, yes please!

Such a sleepy bug.

Lots and lots of Christmas orders going out, yet I'm still not done!

Ohhhhh look what arrived! My black friday fabric purchases came!

I love it when our car window gets smashed!








 photo IMG_1311_zpsa24dcc32.jpg
This is not what I'm supposed to be eating.

This is my "I survived Union Square in the middle of December" celebratory nap.

This is also not what I'm supposed to be eating, but it is a breakthrough on that banana cream custard I swore to keep working on and make more presentable. I put it in a cheesecake! 

We went to an Adventure Time party. So I made this "Banana Guard Cheesecake" for us to nom on while we watched.

Much success!

My BFF from high school, Beth, is having twins any day now. Since I'm a little behind on making their baby quilts, I made these minky lined hippo blankets for in the meantime. 








 photo IMG_1332_zps79e95574.jpg
Another doll finished and ready to be shipped out!

A surprise for the boys for Christmas. I can't wait for them to get it!!!

I reallllllly wanna take a Lush bubble bath, but seeing as how we use our tub for storage, that's out of the question at the moment. I'll settle for a relaxing foot soak. 

P.S. have you smelled Rose Jam? It's heavenly, and it's limited edition. So rude, Lush. I wish they'd make their Rose Jam perfume again, I'd buy like a million bottles.

I've cut out Dr Pepper again. So I'm trying Criobru, it's roasted cocoa beans. We'll see how it goes.





 photo IMG_1108_zpsb9b8d232.jpg
Ugh, I'm so sick of these tiny ass cupboards! No matter how I re-arrange, I always have spices and such sitting on the counter, annoying the crap out of me.






 photo IMG_1112_zpsf754449e.jpg
It's been so dark lately, I need to figure out this night time photography thing. It's the one thing I never learned- studio stuff and lighting and flash and stuff.

I've been trying to eat "healthier"but this faux bread is terrible.

My love bug.

I made some cute little hair clips to match some dolls I'm making for a customer. They are so cute, I just wish I didn't absolutely hate making them, because they sell like hot cakes!

Danny had a work thing over the weekend in Brussels. Yes, a 3 day trip to Brussels. Although I really wanted to go, I've learned that short trips to faraway destinations does not suit me. If he has a work trip that can be extended, then I'll go, but if not, then I'll stay home and avoid grouchiness.

He brought me home like $80 worth of chocolate, isn't he the best?
