Christmas shopping in January

I have officially started my Christmas shopping! No, not my shopping for next Christmas, (I am a complete procrastinator so there is no way that is happening) I mean the spending of $$ that I recieved as gifts. :)

My first purchase was a subscription to Ottobre magazine. :) It is a sewing/pattern magazine out of Finland that is so much fun! I've also been eyeing up wonderful online fabric stores like Sewzannes and the Fabric Fairy, and also the wonderful unique creations by artisans on places like Etsy, and will hopefully be able to post some adorable hand made clothes in the upcoming months.

Sledding!

I just wanted to share a couple pics of our sledding adventure the other day. I did go down the hill once with Abby, but she much preferred daddy since he would drag his hands the whole way down the hill so they wouldn't go so fast. :)

ready to go down the hill...

"the gully" in Portage is a pretty big hill!

getting a ride back up the hill... (I've made her a better hat since then :) )
