It MUST come down today!

It's Jan. 7th and as I type the tree is glowing behind me...  

ornament I made for the annual ornament exchange

Yep, it's still up and today it MUST come down.

I love how cozy the house feels with it up and the soft glow of the tree in the corner.  But our house is so small by this time I'm really ready to get it all out of the way...

But then our house is so small, so having the boxes all over the place while we take everything down makes me crazy. 

But I have lots of helpers {insert shaky smile here}  so it should go really quick...  right?

In other news I'm thinking of opening an etsy shop.  I've been toying with it for a while.  Mostly wondering why anyone would buy anything I made...  but I'm concidering giving it a go. 

I've hit some road blocks though...  like what to name it and what exactly I would sell.  Just hats or maybe several different things.   If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. 

Here's a few things I've done:


fall leaves

baby hat

maggie

blanket that will probably not be done till the kids go to college

another hat













I also made some indian corn for Thanksgiving that was really cute and some really nice dish rags but I don't have a picture of those...  so any thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm off to the attic to pull down boxes...  

Enjoy your Sat!
