My husband and I joined forces and made this jewelry rack for his little sister. He did the building, I did the designing, obviously and, not only do I love the way it turned out but the entire process was so much more fun with him by my side! Most importantly, my sister-in-law loved it too. And, I must mention that the purple dot in the bottom left corner was added at the insistence of my two little boys, much to my perfectionistic dismay! (I had to wrap it immediately after taking this photo because it annoyed me so much! ;)

Today is the last day to enter my Baby Blanket Giveaway and I cannot wait to select and announce the winner tomorrow. Sewing truly brings me so much joy and I am beyond thrilled that by opening my very own little Etsy Shop I now have a perfectly justifiable excuse to devote more time to a hobby that I love. :)

Good thing my four-year-old received a doctor kit stocked full of band-aids under the tree Christmas morning because this clumsy cook sliced a nice, big chunk out of her thumb a few days prior. Nothing like some polka-dot band-aids to draw attention...

This is what Christmas morning looked like in our house and for once in my neat-freak life, I forced myself to simply sit down and enjoy the chaos. My favorite part? The wet cloth diaper towards the bottom right. ;)
