  • Well Tuesday, that’s snow…

    Bj and I decided a quick day trip up to the mountain would be fun… We did not decide to stay up super late, get up again in a couple of hours and stay up for over THREE hours in the middle of the night however (that was Miss Sparkle Pants’ idea), so our tiredness put a little bit of a hiccup in our plans. And since I didn’t really make concrete plans our fun day of sledding ended up as a short bundle up and walk in the snow. I did score a great sled from Goodwill, next time…

    Don’t worry about the dog Tutu look at the camera!

    Maybe you’d like to stand?

    Okay maybe not… well that was fun!
    I am very glad I got all her snow gear on super ultra clearance because I don’t think she’s going to get much use of it! I have no idea where we can sled either, turns out no sledding at Timberline and at the sno park places they make you use their inter tubes. I am so NOT putting Tuesday on an inter tube! Any locals (in a two hour radius or so around Salem) know any places?

  • Exploring

    Tuesday didn’t want to go to sleep early today, she didn’t want to go to sleep late either… she wanted to go to sleep much, MUCH later. So I cranked up the ISO and snapped a few pictures of my little explorer.

    Love those very slight curls in the back.

    Oh I didn’t know that egg went in there, thanks Tuesday!

    Cute little baby fingers.
    Then we went downstairs (where the big lights mean it’s always daylight!) so I could show you the thing I made when I was supposed to be making other things.
    Late-6
    I found this great panel at Fabric Depot (hello that place is crazy insane). I figured I would just back it and wham play mat. But of course I couldn’t just do that!
    Late-4
    I used a combo of left over minkie, upholstery material, quilting fabric (with some interfacing to give it more heft), and a thrifted blanket. This way it can be a little earth, land, sky play mat on the back.
    Tuesday also worked on something she probably shouldn’t:

    Pretending her cart is a Segway. Kids these days.
