My Beauty and Hairstyles Tips

getting there

I'm crossing a few things off my list, but I have a ways to go...I'm rushing a bit so I can enjoy a few days of 100% relaxation once my sister gets here. Really looking forward to it!

I have begun to add a preview of the auction items over at the Kim Family Benefit site, so take a look. I will continue to add items throughout the next week. Amazing stuff! Thank you again to all the contributing artists.

So far so good on my daily posts promise. I was just thinking how this time last year I was making a-stocking-a-day for our advent garland. You can see the whole set here. I never made number twenty-four. I need to get on that.

If you're thinking about doing something with your partner or family for advent, there's a wealth of ideas in the comments of this post from last year. More ideas about keeping the holidays simple and meaningful can be found here.

 Another gift. These oven mitts are really easy and fun to make. I just make mine up as I go along, but I know that Denyse Schmidt's book has an oven mitt pattern if you'd like to give it a go.

I have a guest post over at Kiddley in honor of Santa Lucia Day. Mia was up really early today with her crown on, ready to serve everybody breakfast. Unfortunately, I was up really late with Miles whose fever was so high that he was hallucinating (frightening!...he's much better today, thank goodness), and I didn't have it in me to get up and make saffron buns.  We decided to reschedule Santa Lucia for the solstice. Someone's ready...
