OH MAN!!! Zulily.com has this kitchen for $119 and then an extra 10$ off with code coupcab104
I think this may be our big Santa gift to the boys!

Big thanks to my fav couponing site, TOTALLY TARGET, for the deal idea!

I am 90% done with Christmas, and I HATE being done this early. Good thing most of my gifts are at my SIL's house, but it's still hard not to give them to them early!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Which means it's time for me to spend HOURS scouring deals across the internet. Yes, this is my favorite thing about Christmas...finding cheap deals. I dont even care if I need it, "hey that's cheap, let's get that"
I PROMISE I'm trying to be good this year!

Here's some good finds from today! (I promise I'm not spamming or affiliated with any of these companies...just a mom passing on some good deals!)

This Kidkraft kitchen set for 50% off, and free shipping with amazon prime. If you dont have amazon prime, you can sign up for Amazon Mom right now and get it for 3 months free. This is fabulous, since if you shop Amazon near Christmas time, you know there will be TONS of stuff you want 1 item at a time for under $25. And it's FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING. Seriously, this is my 3rd year being an Amazon Prime member, and it's worth EVERY cent.

While all of ya'll are so sad the weekend is over, the weekend never means anything to me. Since my husband works all the time, and I cannot remember the last time he had a weekend off, there's no such thing as Monday at my house. I won't lie, I'm a little bitter, can you tell? I can't stand to read things like "YAY it's Friday, cant wait for the weekend" and "spending time with the family this weekend" It seems like we NEVER get family time anymore :( It was not always like this. Before we had Landon, his work schedule was normal. But it's progressively gotten to where we just no longer see him. I know it could be MUCH MUCH worse, we are very thankful that he is home every night. I could not deal very well with that, and I sympathize for women with their husbands overseas, or traveling all the time.

ANYHOW, we spent the weekend cleaning (some) and knitting (lots) and playing (lots)

I finished the overalls! (pics were taken before the buttons were sewn on)

CUTE buttons by Tessa Ann!

That's about it! I'm excited for Thanksgiving this week. Now I get to go do a ton of laundry! Happy end of the weekend :)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaarn

This morning, my friend brought her kids over so she could go fight the crazies at TRU for some Christmas shopping! We had a great time, I thoroughly distracted them with electronic devices, while I played with the baby/kept him out of stuff, and knit 1 row of knitting! Those of you that knit and have small kids, know the art that is knitting with small kids
... knit 3 sts, get kid out of trash can, knit 10 more sts, keep kid from hitting other kid, knit 5 more sts, get kid out of cabinets, knit 2 rows...wait, the kid is being really quiet...find kid in pantry with flour all over the floor. Vow not to knit till kid is in bed...
Anyhow, here was my clever distraction tool! muahahaha

Then it was my fav time of the day..MAIL TIME!
I always drool all over my yarn mail, it's a bad habit. Today, there was LOTS of yarn waiting in my mailbox! Now I need to learn to knit even faster. I buy like a rabbit and knit like a turtle. It's a problem, I think. NAH
Here's what graced my house today

Trying this out again! Need a place to put my work in progress :)

Well with the holiday coming up, I'm swamped with customs. I've also had a few random requests for photography, which I do not really do anymore, but I enjoy it when I do :)
Here's some recent work! Let's see how this shows up on the new layout

A custom I just sent out today
