I bought the pattern ages ago and was super excited about it, but it got put in a stack of other patterns and was soon forgotten. But when it was time to start Christmas crafting I remembered that I wanted to make this for Tony. He's super into robots so this was a fun project and I'm in love with the color combination. But beacause he doesn't transform he hasn't been a favorite, oh well I still love him.
My parents got Tony tickets for the polar express in Arizona for Christmas this year. He loved it even though he was super sick (we found out after a trip to the emergency clinic that he had a severe ear infection in both ears), the train went around the grand canyon and to the "north pole." Santa boarded the train and gave everyone bells, we sang carols and had hot chocolate and cookies. It was all very festive and fun.
My little guys is all about the super heroes lately. He loves spider-man, underdog, and (maybe) most of all Superman. He loves costumes and pj's and his fave pj's are a comination of both. His Uncle Benny helps him fly about the house so he can save the day.
But shortly before Chrsitmas he learned that he can't fly on his own.
He had to get two staples or "robot parts" as we told him. He also learned that Superman doesn't have to be brave because he can't get hurt like little boys can.
I picked this gingerbread train up at Target for Tony and his grandma to make while I was at class and my mom took these amazing pictures. He loved it and it got us all pumped about Christmas, even if it collapsed shortly after completion.
Skeleton's were a huge hit with Tony this year. Everytime we went to the store he had to check if they had any skeletons. He was so excited when he got skeleton gloves from Ashley in the mail. He picked out, and I bought, three other costumes before he saw the skeleton in the consignment shop window. He was a little torn over which one to wear trick or treating but the skeleton won because it is fleece and glows in the dark! He had tons of fun and he still gets to wear his other costumes, he was the blue dino power ranger when he went to boo at the zoo! Amazing pics of that outing coming soon. Hope everyone had a fun, amazing, safe Halloween.
I sold my first library bag (YAY!!!) to the lovely Carra for her lovely Adele. I sent some goodies with the bag for the birthday girl. I found the amazing vintage snowsuit at an estate sale a while back and was just hoping to find a little girl who could wear it. It still has the tags! I also found the mushroom dress at Vintage Baby I love the colors and the fabric. Of course I had to include a book, one of my all time faves The Little House. If you haven't read it you must, it is beautifully written with amazing illustrations.
Thank You Carra!
What the...?
I don't know how many of you have read about it but J.K.R. says that Dumbledore is gay.
Here is a excerpt from the aol article:
She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds "true love."
"Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause.
She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. "Falling in love can blind us to an extent," Rowling said of Dumbledore's feelings, adding that Dumbledore was "horribly, terribly let down."
Dumbledore's love, she observed, was his "great tragedy."
