Making Stuff

I had plans for this week.

I was excited to have extra time to write, to photograph and share a few recent knitted FO's, and perhaps start to get the kids back to our normal schedule.


The thing is, there's regular life, plus unexpected life and then there's "wow- I can't even believe how tired I am..." that leads you to fall asleep the second the baby does at three in the afternoon but be wide awake from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.


Can you tell it's been awhile since we've had a new baby in the house? I mean, I knew this is how life with a little one goes (after all we've done it twice before...) but I forgot exactly how it is each day.


What we're all needing right now is some creative time, so we decided to completely ditch the plans for getting back to regular life and start today on a long weekend dedicated to "making stuff". We spent this morning making some lists of potential projects to choose from, getting organized and printing off a few things to start with.

A bit of our inspiration:

Monster bookmarks

Cubbees (starting with Wall-E for Ender and Batman for Ezra)

Avengers bookmarks

Zippered pouches (for project bags)

Yogurt pops
