Pay It Forward Homemade

A friend offered a facebook challenge for the new year.  Her status said that she would send something homemade to the first 5 people to comment if they promised to do the same for 5 other people.  So far I have sent things to the first 2 people - a pair of music themed pillow cases and this very fun felt pizza play set.  I bought the pizza pattern from one of my favorite shops on etsy.com and stitched it out on my embroidery machine.

How I spent my snow days

We have a lot of Legos at our house.  It was getting to be impossible to build anything at all and I was all out of storage and sorting ideas.  So when we had a few snow days last month, I decided to sort the Legos by color into Ziploc bags.  Since then we have been recreating the kits using the list of pieces in the back of the instruction books.  A certain someone has a renewed interest in building with Legos now that the frustration of sifting and searching is gone.  So I think it was worth the time it took to sort them all.  To be honest, it was worth it just to hear the excited, "Thank you!" when my Lego master realized what I was doing.
