Rainy Days and Tuesdays

Well, it is raining again here. (Yay!) Since I am stuck indoors with my toddler and sick baby, I do enjoy the rain from inside the house. Our weather has been typically Southern California- 90 degrees and sunny to 50 degrees and raining within a few days. Here's a couple of pictures I took last week, post-Santa Ana winds:





Peanut and I made homemade Valentine's for the family, using old invitations that were leftover from a bridal shower I hosted a couple years ago. We pasted construction paper over the invite part of the card and glued hearts cut out of construction paper on them, along with buttons from my button jar. (Peanut is fascinated by the button jar- she calls them "butts" and will ask for them, as in "peese, butts, mommy?"). After all that, she colored on them and we walked to mailbox on the corner to mail them.



I felt very crafty, making something with only materials in the house. That's my favorite, when you can make something without having to buy anything. It sort of justifies the large amount of crafty-sewing-knitting crap I have all over the place.

Also, per my last post, I am no longer on Facebook, as I find the idea of them owning the license to my family pictures utterly repugnant. Facebook, in my opinion, is becoming very big brother-esque. Creepy, so I'll just go back to posting here only.

Oh yeah, and I finished my first sock of my first cabling experiment. It came out gorgeous, in my opinion:



Later, kids.
