My New Adventure

I've opened an etsy shop!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleLutessa?ref=ss_profile


I'm pretty excited about it. I've been making felt food and busy books for the kids for a couple years, and since I buy felt by the yard and so have a bunch already, thought I'd try my hand at selling it. A lot of reading and research and I'm pretty happy so far!

Right now I'm hoping to make pizza money and have enough work to keep my nap times busy. Luca and Tessa are pretty happy about it too, since I need an actual item made before I can list it. So I've been sewing up a storm, taking pictures, and then the kiddo's get new toys. =)

Check out and share my hard work!

Around the house

Just some pictures of things that have been going on in our house recently

Tessa loves hats. Hers, Luca's, mine, winter hats, ball caps, it doesn't matter. Some fit relatively well, others are comically huge. Like this one.

Not sure how she knows which groceries to put in her cart, but she was happy. When she ran into something she would just back up, adjust her heading, and be back on her way. Hat firmly in place the whole time. Goofy kid.


Elsie Bloomed!

First, I've had this flower for 9 years. Longest I've kept anything alive. For real. Surpassed all pets and plants I've ever had. And now it's blooming every two years like it should. I feel like a good plant owner. :)

Josh had a Birthday!

Luca said he wanted Pirate cupcakes, so that's what he got! Some with treasure chests, some with gold coins, all delicious. Tessa also thought they were delicious and had to go directly to the bath after eating it. Yum!

A visit from the Gingerbread Man

A friend of mine from college lives a couple states away and has a kindergartener.

They had a class project to decorate a gingerbread man, mail it to someone far away to go on adventures, and then have it mailed back to the school so they can discuss where they went and what they did. My wonderful friend picked us to send the gingerbread man to. Luca was so excited.

We played with the guy for a day and took pictures of everything we did. He had breakfast with us, played a bunch of games, Luca made him lunch, and he even took a nap with Jude.

 
When Luca learned that he had to be mailed back to my friend he was disappointed. But we'll always have the memories. ;)
