Monkey Hats, Moving and an Anniversary!

Its amazing how much I missed having the Internet during our move. I mean, I had my cell phone, but it's just not the same as being able to open up my lap top and get to work writing or editing...or creeping Facebook!

So we are officially moved into the new place and while I still have lots to do, it already feels like home! With all the hustle and bussal...did I spell that right? err.. anyways, I was un-able to post a project that I had been working on since mid January! I wasn't able to post it because it as a gift for my parents 27th Wedding Anniversary. I did not take pic of the step by step of making it but I did take a final shot.

Basically I took a roller skate box and cut out all angles for the book/folder and then made individual pockets where letters from people who love and respect my parents would go. It went over really well, they love it and I think were actually a little surprised to see just how many people lives they have touched. 
My parents rock . ^^


Next up, we have Sock Monkey Hats! My mother happens to be very talented at crocheting and has made many fabulous things for me, my hubby and my kids. Most recent are these great little Sock Monkey Hats! I kind of want one.....:D


My Little P and Big T look so cute! P is not a fan of having hats or anything for that matter, on her head but she loves her Sock Monkey Hat! I really think my Mom should open an Etsy site, what do you think?!

Now I will leave you with some random moving pics!

Holy boxes Batman!

P was so very tired after such a big event.
T, vegging out our first night in the new house!
Because sitting in the box to unpack makes it easier.. :)
Until next time...Ciao!
