E turned one. We had a birthday part for her over Easter weekend with my parents, P's parents, and P's brother and sister. Here are some pictures from the party and Easter!
We also got nice pictures taken of her at JC Penny, here are my favorites.
Next, in my ongoing effort to put more art up in the house, I made two new pieces.
The first covers up our really ugly doorbell and thermostat:
The second is a magnetic scrabble board for your wall!
Both of these ideas were from pinterest. You know that bumper sticker that says "I do what the voices in my head tell me to?" Mine should read, "I do what the pictures on Pinterest tell me to."
In other crafty news I made little finger puppets for E's friends for her birthday:
and for my friend's birthday I made a shopping bag that folds up in your purse. I had to learn how to make a french seam, which is a very useful skill!
Ok, I think that's all the news that's fit to print. Oh, I'm probably not going to be as crafty for the next 8 weeks because I'm taking an online logic course through Coursera. I tried one other course before, but it require reading a book a week for 8 weeks and I just didn't have enough time. This one is a little tricky so far, similar to a course I took in college but that was ten years ago now and I am rusty. The courses are free though and very well done in case you're interested!
