Christmas Wishlist

Its the holiday season! Being my favorite time of year, i've loved seeing the storefronts slowly transform from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas (Target is officially all decked out Christmas style and i love it).

I was originally going to write a Thanksgiving post, but we'll be attending Thanksgiving at my in-laws so the "ideal menu" post i had in mind would simply taunt me...i think its something do to with being in our own house this year that stirs my desire to host a Thanksgiving feast. 
However, i do still get to make a dessert and have purchased 2 small pie pumpkins to make an actual not-from-a-can pumpkin pie. If anyone has a good recipe for such a pie, let me know! 

In the meantime, i will dive into the Holiday spirit with the every popular Christmas Wishlist:


For Silas:

1. These amazing baby socks:

He has a habit of yanking off his socks as soon as i put them on. Now that its winter, i need a solution other than "oh well" and i think these would do the trick. 


2. This gorgeous embroidered alphabet:


i've had my eye on this since Silas was a newborn. i love educational toys that are still beautiful and fun, and this shop fits the bill. It's incredible. There's beautiful felted numbers, an adorable ladybug mobile, and even a Hebrew alphabet set! The home-school mom in me swoons. 


3. A play kitchen, like this one


Looove this b/c its small and very quirky. It looks like a kids imaginary kitchen come to life.

No matter what, he'll eventually have a play kitchen...i have big plans for our short entertainment center once we get the tv mounted on the wall. 

Also, if you've never explored the world of felted/wooden food, i suggest you look in to it. so much fun. 




For Mona and Amadeus:
our mini-daschund and *great dane
*in a moment of pure insanity i decided to give him to Ryan as our anniversary present. 

i will, however, never be insane enough to be one of those people with a "I heart my Great Dane" sticker on their rear windshield. Just wanted to clear that up. 

This cute bed for Mona, minus the cat of course. 



2. A dog bed for Amadeus, with some sort of music note motif. 
3. The biggest bone i can find.  




Next time: me and my lovas lists. 

On my mind.

Every time i find myself losing time browsing the endless number of crafty blogs out there i wind up coming back to this one thought:

Creativity is not discovered in reading about someone elses creativity. It is found by DOING.

so im going to go do.
