Robot and Spaceboy

Here's something that I recently made which I forgot to show on here! Jack got Robot for his birthday, and Spaceboy was a gift for last year's birthday. Both patterns are from Weewonderfuls, which has so many great patterns. Ever since I'd made Spaceboy last year, I've been waiting to make Robot, but wanted to wait until Christmas or his birthday. Both were easy and fun to make, and I'm sure there are more in my future!

our home

Since most people who visit this blog are friends and family, most of whom haven't been to our house ever/in-a-while, I thought that I'd share a few glimpses of our home. I didn't clean before I took them, but then again this is how it looks most of the time anyway!
::We just got this great old couch from a resale store for $15!! It shows what a great husband (and brother-in-law!) I have that he spent hours moving the old couch to storage, bringing the new one in, and switching armchairs between upstairs and downstairs. And I don't think he even likes the new couch much! But it takes up a little less space than the old one, and I'm totally in love with it.

::Here is the spot in Jack's room right next to his bed where he keeps his lizard, "Spongebob". Up in the corner you can see a cute little birdie decal (from an etsy store), which is one of three in his room.
::I struggled to find a place to take a picture of the kitchen. It's always messy and extremely cluttered, due to the fact that it is really small and I have a lot of kitchen stuff! This shelf is up high, so it never gets too cluttered! I have some aprons hanging from it, one of them on the right is the first thing that I ever sewed in Mrs. Warmbein's seventh grade home-ec class.
::This last picture is of the ledge between the kitchen and the living/dining room. There is always a variety of things on this ledge. Right now I'm forcing some magnolia branches into bloom since the flowers only stay on the actual trees outside of our house for a day or two. The Easter eggs were dyed a few days ago at Meagan's house, and the basket is from a resale store, filled with bibs and cloth napkins that we use everyday.

Well, I hope everyone got a little glimpse into our home. We're definitely not gracing the pages of any magazines soon, but it's ours and we like it!
