Hello December.
I'm really not certain how it rolled around so fast again. It seems like I just packed this advent away. I was happy to pull it out and place it on the white wall. In the newly painted white kitchen. It doesn't seem busy to me like it did last year. I'm assuming it is the white wall.

Although I really miss my baby, all is good on the photo front. I used shakeitphoto while away visiting my parents for my 365 project. If you have an iphone, check it out. It takes some pretty cool photos. This one makes me happy. I also found my old point and shoot that the kids have been using. Easy peasy to use. And I got to borrow my sisters Nikon D60 to take our Christmas card photo. No hand knit sweaters for the photo. I initially wanted to have the oona hoodie finished for Libby to wear, but that didn't happen. And that's okay. It's all okay.
Happy December.

    Sweet advent. I know what you mean by the holidays coming around so quickly again. I feel like I just tucked the boxes in the closet downstairs. What is with that? ~Kelly

  3. Never mind, I followed the link to answer my question. Now I want to buy the pattern even though it's unlikely I'll knit it. Although maybe a summer project?? Hmmm

  10. I'm not a photographer - which is probably why I don't have a blog! - but I have to say I like the shakeitphotos I'm seeing on your blog and elsewhere; they're uber-cool. And, it's certainly reflective of your life right now in this moment so it suits the 365 project nicely!

  26. Happy December to you Leslie! I've chosen not to put any pressure on myself this holiday season either - if it gets done, great. If it doesn't that's okay too because all the kiddos truly need is a calm and happy mama. Have a great week.
