Even though I have to work on Saturday, I say TGIF. I'm hoping there's no more snow (wishful thinking, I'm sure). Things have been super static-y with the dry air inside houses, and me and James have been exchanging shocks!
Get a load of that hair!

In Which We Say Happy Birth Day!
This is Baby Quinn. Quinn Richard Beyrer. He was born at 8:50 AM. He is 8 pounds, 7 ounces and 20 and one half inches. He is a good eater, and though he looks cranky here...he's very nice. And also, though this is not confirmed - I think he likes me very much - like, maybe, I'm his favorite...

My buddies
They have hair like teen idols. They have awesome tiny wardrobes. And despite this picture, they are pretty good at sharing. My tiny friends, James and Tristan. It was nice to play with you!

In Which We Look Towards a New Year
Things are stress-y here and crazy and everybody is tired. And things are snowy here, and nothing makes me more cranks than snow.
But here's to hoping 2011 will be a banner year! Here's to all the upcoming babies to be born, weddings to be dancing at, road trips to take and memories to make!
And maybe this year, I'll finally make a pair of pajama pants that have two legs!

In Which We Say Happy Birthday
to you, Gail.
You live in a zoo.
You look like a monkey.
But you smell pretty okay, I guess.
I don't insult my preggie sister so close to her due date. She's slow, but she packs a bigger wallop. If you see her ask her to do her "big dog" impression. It's my faves!

Tis the Season to Be CrankySeriously, sometimes I like Christmas as much as the next person. I like gingerbread, and at the library people make us homemade peppermint bark and other treats, and I make a lot of really beautiful paper snowflakes.
But taking everything out and putting up the tree and scattering the decorations in an already full house only reminds me that I have to take it down again and put it away. And then there are the gifts and the baking and the food and the wrapping and the tiredness and then it is over. I'm sure that I would love to make presents for the whole world, but unfortunately, I have to go to work, so the fun stuff - the stuff that I LIKE to do - I'll never get to do until I retire and then I probably will hate making stuff because my hands will be a mess from all the carpel tunnel.
Bah humbug. We're mortal. And uncrafty. The end.

In Which I Attempt To Sell
Well, friends, these are my wares. Some hand knits, some baby hats, some onesies and button magnets. And maybe there weren't a lot of people at this second craft fair, but I sold a couple of everything, and met some nice Tupperware ladies, and had the experience.
It was Miss Sarah Meagher's (Mrs. Sarah Burn's) baby shower, and I missed it, and for that I am sad. But I'm happy she's having a baby! And that Tine got to play with James!
The other thing: While I was making a little elephant wall art for Sarah and John's baby boy, I realized I had some tiny canvases. And so I made this:
I know. It's adorable. I am selling it on Etsy, but I may make a billion more to gaze upon adoringly because it is just so. darn. cute.

In Which There is a Treat
My very favorite bagpiper, James William, on Halloween! I know. I know. It is so cute that you can barely, barely stand to look. He couldn't hold the pipes and the bucket together forever, but he sure did try!
Happy November!

In Which I Make a Find!
What fell into my hot little hands this week? This coloring book, never used from the 1960s. It was only 10 cents at the time! And it's about going to the zoo. Awesome!

In Which We Pick Pumpkins!
James and my Pop and Gail and Joe and I went out east on Monday and picked out pumpkins! We didn't cut them off the vine or anything, because that's just not our kind of fun (not that i'm judging those who go out to saw off their own gourds or trees or what-have-you). We took a little hay ride, pulled by a tractor, which James really enjoyed watching. We aquired some very teeny tiny pumpkins. It was a beautiful day out and super fun!

In Which Michelle and Ron Get Hitched!
Picture this: You're in the wilderness of Lake Taghkanic State Park. You are surrounded by leaves and fall and the smell of awesome outdoor things! And then you get MARRIED!
Well, that wasn't you, that was Michelle and Ron! And me and Andy were there and it was awesome!
The weather was perfect!
The centerpieces were handmade (origami flowers)!
The red velvet cake with vanilla (colored) icing was made by Valerie!
The ceremony was outside, wiccan and very beautiful!
Michelle didn't stay in her dress for long, but looked beautiful and happy!
We had a wonderful time!
And, for a minute...well, a couple of minutes, I really liked being out in nature!

In Which I am a Bad Sister
Did you know it was Richie's Birthday? Well, it was! And I, being a bad sister, did not blogwish him a Happy Birthday!
We do birthdays BIG in my house - it is a cause for giant special celebration! This is much harder to do when everyone lives a gabillion miles away and I am knee deep in weddings and work and all of the craziness right now!
So, I am belated and humbly wishing Richie a VERY Happy Birthday that was last week and not quite the big numbered birthday that will be next year! But I have bought you a present, Richie! I am ready for your birthday celebration when I next see you!
This picture is of Richie, the terrible monster, who imprisoned a princess, and is defeated by the hugs of the Prince, Princess and Very Brave Knight.

Giant James!
Here he is! The giant James! Still adorable! Still with the teen idol hair!
He can climb up on the couch himself and say my name. He is 17 months and very cool. And there's a new baby coming! I wonder what kind of big brother he will be. I think he'll be a great one!

Beanie's Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Beaniegirl! I hope you have a year of excellence down there in North Carolina! Good reports, good work days and fun weekends!
You still look like a teenager to me! Happy happy!

In Which We Travel
Down in NC for Johnny's birthday (old man!), we had many stay-at-home adventures, which I will tell you about later. But one super fun thing was playing Just Dance on the Wii.
Well, actually it was fun to watch everybody play, because they are doing the same dance moves and it's like watching one of those spontaneous dance numbers in musicals, but it's real life and with people you know. And you haven't lived until you've seen my brothers dance to Kylie Minogue.

Piggy Banks!
I have a thing about piggy banks.
Well, to be honest, I have a thing about piggy banks and mugs and pitchers and tiny little odd one-offs and salt shakers without a pepper and shiny brooches and...well, I digress.
But this beauty is mine! Well, for a little while. I bought some piggy banks. They were so sad in the sun at a garage sale. But I saved her with her jaunty hat and her gold paint. She's a good girl. She saves her money! I can't walk past a face like that and not buy it. If she's not for me,she's for someone else. But I like her.
And...I bought another one while I was out. OH, piggy.
