you had me at *sparkle*
sarah's been sick this week... so i've had lots of time at home to sew some christmas gifts (and catch up on my favorite blogs).
while i can't show any of my sewing projects to you (just yet), i can show you some sparkly, cheery holiday goodness!!
jars and bowls full of vintage ornaments = YUMMY!
a tinsel tree with tiny doll clothes for the ornaments = BRILLIANT!!
sparkly sleepy owl ornament = BESTILL MY HEART!

Dollhouse Build
welcome to the biggest project i've ever done... a project in which terms like "mitered", "gable", "facia" and "boston lap ridgecap" became a part of my vocabulary (at least in my head)
each piece had to be painted, sanded, and painted again
the shingles had to be dyed
the porch floor measured, marked, and painted
and the walls & floors glued and taped
i painted the black and white floors... this will be the kitchen & dining room
the shutters & windows painted and glued
the shingles glued on one-by-one
i didn't get pics of the railings, but they had to be assembled piece by piece as well
michael made a platform for it... with casters and handles
so she can pull it out into the center of her room and play!
she really loves it!

thanksgiving
we had thanksgiving at our house this year
(for the very first time)
it seemed like a good time to get out our china and silver
that we got for wedding gifts
it was their inaugural meal
i think the table turned out pretty elegant, if i do say so myself
i hope your turkey day was wonderful!! now it's time to get ready for christmas!!
check back on monday for pics of the dollhouse i built :)

Sarah turned FIVE!!!
her party was at sweet & sassy
she and her friends got their faces & hair glittered up,
mani-pedi's, and a chance to walk the runway
it was super girly-fun!!
(a HUGE thanks to my friend Melanie for taking pictures of the party!)
after the girly fun, we went home for cupcakes and presents
her "big" gift was a dollhouse
(which, btw is partly why it took me so long to blog this)
it took me about 6 weeks to build this thing! i took pictures along the way
and i will share them soon!
