There was just a little more to do in the living room to be considered officially done. We needed pillows for the chairs, so I picked out some fabulous gold-colored fabric and had them made by Tracy. I also installed some hold-backs for the curtains. I think everything looks really nice! And now it’s officially done! Well, excepting the art for the wall…
We pranked the Colony!
If you’ve been keeping up, you might know that The Colony is showing LABYRINTH as part of their Cool Classics series. Unfortunately, they picked March 19th, four days after my due date.
So Cristin and I have been lobbying for them to move the date. Sadly, they haven’t budged. On Wednesday, we went to see The Great Muppet Caper and we decided to practice a litle civil disobedience. We took these clever little signs that Cristin made and hung them in the bathroom. Cuz we’re crazy like that!
For more on our little caper, check out Cristin’s much-more detailed post.
A fun box of blue-hued presents that were shipped out last week.
I am an artiste!
Our boo with a lovely bow.
Our Christmas tree!
My favorite new ornament
Ah, Hal Hartley. I loves me some Hal Hartley. (Thanks to Matt Berube for my obsession!)
This morning I treated Dave to two Hartley short films
Some of my favorite quotes:
I’ve come up with a way to display our Christmas cards that I’m really happy with. I draped garland around the entrance to the Living Room and the cards hang from little clips attached to the garland.
On another crafty note, Cristin was admiring my tree skirt. My secret to a great tree skirt? Go find a festive holiday tablecloth that’s large enough to fit your needs. Cut from one edge to the center and cut a small circle out of the center. Then stitch up the cut edges so it looks neat and doesn’t fray. You can get a much larger skirt for a better price than a traditional tree skirt and there are lots of patterns to choose from.
Driving through a neighborhood on Sunday, we passed these two adorable little girls selling Hot Chocolate. Awesome!
Fifty cents a cup. I’d like mine with marshmallows and whipped cream, thank you very much! Dave got his plain.
Presents is what Christmas is all about, right? I got all of our presents wrapped up this weekend and put them under the tree. About half of them are being shipped out so our tree will be bare by the time Christmas rolls around.
Here they are, looking pretty!
And here’s my favorite wrapping job – it looks like a big Christmas cracker!
CRISTIN IS THE. COOLEST. EVER. EVER. EVER. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
