Trying to Get Back in the Swing of Things....

I love these days after most of the Christmas and New Year celebrations are over...but still hanging on a little bit.

Parents go back to work and baby boy comes back to me...

he is a good napper and during his naps I literally R.U.N. around doing my chores!

My husband headed back to work and Sweetpea went back to school today.

A new month and artwork on this sweet calendar hangs on the wall behind my sewing machine.

A new project in the works for my next-door neighbor's granddaughter's 5th birthday. (please say that 3 times real fast!)

First.  The hanging clothes rack must be cleared and hubby's shirts ironed.

Christmas decor is still up and will be until mid-day Saturday.

I've started phase 1 of the South Beach Diet...and love it!

I ate far too many chocolate crinkle cookies over the Christmas holiday. :(

My favorite tea cup

and the kitchen tea drawer is stocked!

One of my favorite Christmas gifts...these precious measuring cups.

Another wonderful gift for the practical girl...olive oil pouring spouts that do not drip!

The beautiful roses my husband gave me on Christmas Eve...they'll be in the compost pile tomorrow.

A new sewing project to dream about while ironing and holding the baby when he's not fast asleep.

The makings for a chicken-veggie soup for my family today...not for me...no potatoes and carrots during phase 1 of SBD.

Ironing done and pajama pants done....I just can't help but think the world would be a happier place if we all wore flannel princess pajamas to sleep!

Up next....a pajama shirt for these pants.

bye now
