I Should Be Posting a Picture of This...

that was built by me, and now resides in my child's bedroom.

But even though I worked on it for 4 (!) hours tonight, I'm not.

I built the frame before Nate went to bed for the night, and worked on the drawers in the hallway outside his room. I went to put the drawers in and realized that I had screwed the slider bars on the left hand side in the wrong hole. (Why there were two holes, I don't know, but I apparently should have followed the set of directions for side B, and not done the steps on side A twice.)

It's an easy fix, but not when you don't want to turn the light on, flip the dresser on its back, and wake a sleeping child.

So TOMORROW, I will be posting a picture of how darling that little dresser looks in my child's bedroom!

(And reveling in the fact that I built it by myself.)

Hooded Towel: Part 2

It really wasn't too big after all. (Maybe the hood, just a little.) Nate was excited to not be cold after his bath.


And the color green looks so much more vibrant on the regular camera than on the webcam!

A Hooded Towel...

that's actually big enough to wrap around a baby!


Picture of the baby wrapped up in it to come soon. He's in bed for the night.

I think I made the hood waaaay too big - toddler size. Oh well. He'll grow into it. I might just have to make another one. or two. And the plush towels are on sale at Target right now too... hmm.

New Years Resolution #3

Wash my dishes every night.

And yes, it's sad that I had to make this a resolution, but I am so bad about cleaning up the kitchen before bed. It's so nice to come downstairs to a clean kitchen every morning!

(The blue cup on the counter is dirty, and you can't tell from the picture, but there's a cup soaking in the sink. Brian was cleaning out his car today and found these lovely gems in the backseat. I don't do 3-month-old moldy chocolate protein shake. He promised to clean them when he gets home from work.)

My New Obsession...

California clementines. I've had 7 today.
