{This Moment}

{this moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Yarn bombing : it’s a love thing

love yarn bomb

Dear Cupcakefaerie had the idea of yarn bombing with little hearts for Valentine’s Day. I left this one in a nearby tree the other day. It was so fun to stick it in there and walk away, hoping it would brighten someone’s day and/or make a cozy nest for one of our local creatures.

Since then, I’ve been trying to knit these little hearts quickly (we like the pattern by Jackie Z ) so we can spread our yarn bomb love around town. Will you join us?

D.I.Y. Advent Calendar Update – the first 8 days

DIY Advent Calendar Day 1-8

So here are the first two rows of the Advent Calendar I made from an over-the-door shoe organizer. I’ve been making use of some tiny clothes pins and binder clips to attach items to the front.

It is turning into more of a visual journal. We went to two basketball games as shown by the tickets. Then I hung a Santa ornament on the day of our office holiday party when the kids of our work community get to meet Santa. The other days are just decorated with odds and ends from my stash and a few favorite ornaments.

We’ve got some really fun days ahead and I look forward to adding some more festive items to the mix.
