MEW

Here are the legwarmers I have been working on. I have loved shopping at goodwill and Joanne's and I enjoy making the cambria inspired flowers. Mom got me a fancy serger (for Hanukah and my next birthday) and it gives them a very professional look. I really enjoy making new things out of old things. Heidi made me the MEW labels a few years ago and they acutally asurvived a few shelves and drawers and made their debut around age 4. I sewed them onto cars left over from my wedding. The buttons came from the house next door when the old guy moved out and his dead wife's things ended up in my hands. Love that too. I feel like my Aunt Lena and my Grandmother gave me their "need to craft" genes and that is really special to me. MEW! says it all

Thanksgiving

Gig Harbor thanksgiving this year. Oyster Stuffing, homemade pecan pie and this year Turkey cooked in a bag (great!). Molly worked on the legwarmers (Thanks for the serger MOM!) and Sylvie played princess game while leo obsessed about the pool table ("PAY BALL?!?!") The grownups read alot of Vanity Fair and New Yorker and Seattle Times. We actually watched the Macy's day parade and the dog show with the rest of the at home americans. We did some beachcombing too and found great seaglass washed up by winter storms along with a really cool almost fossilized root ball. The sun shined all 4 days and they Olympics crowed with their beauty!

America's next top....I swear she did these looks totally on her own. She has never looked at a fashion magazine.

Mom made the hat and Sylvie decided the button placement!

We had some stir craziness and the tides were wanky so we went looking for seaglass at night and actually found some ...

Princesses on Ice

OMG! Princess on Ice was pure disney magic!

That's tink in Cinderella's carriage being lifted to the ceiling while all of the prince and princesses danced around her! WOAH!

Fairy Godfather Justen Loved it just as much as the kids!

Leo is TWO

Leon turned two and we had a family and friends party. As with all parties, it started with good food and singing happy birthday and degraded into naked dancing around the train tracks.

Noni made a cake that says "Leo & Co doing business since 2005"

Grandmas!
