Last night I hosted our first craft night. Various friends and family expressed interest in having one. Everyone brought their own project (paper crafts, needlepoint, knitting, etc.). I decided to make more of Little Bird Handmade's Soft Trees this year (last year's are pictured at left).
I served Too Much Chocolate Cake and the party was pretty fun! It was brief, being a weeknight but I managed to get a number trees cut out. Next party: January.
Aidan saw the cardiologist today. The appointment was difficult (his fear of the hospital and blood work is still high) but it was a good appointment. We were there over 3 hours so it made for an emotionally draining day. Dr. Frommelt is worried that he might have a bit of asthma so we might check on that again in 6 months. Here's really hoping that it isn't the case.
Hey - doesn't anyone want a free book? Only 4 comments. Drat. I knew my readership was low but, geez - 4 people and one of them is my mom (thanks mom!)...
These are too cute. What perfect little holiday gifts. Very creative and nice little project.

I love the trees and your craft night idea. A few friends and I have been talking about having a little craft night at my house where everyone brings their own portable work-in-progress to do. That chocolate dessert sounds scrumptious.
I did comment on your give-away but I always feel awkward when doing so. I don't want you (or anyone else posting a give-away) to think I'm only commenting in order to try to win. So usually I leave a note that says something along the lines of "please don't worry about including me in your drawing." Because, honestly, I would have commented anyway about the lovely item you're offering.

what a great idea! I should see if I could hold a craft night before the holidays set in--although I guess I'm running out of time!
