A new picture of the house.

I know, I know, there's lots of construction trash.  I still have to go through it and pick out good stuff.  So the outside is sided and the cupola is up on the roof.  What d'ya think?  The doors will eventually be a reddish brown wood color and there will be a deck.  I don't know what color the deck will be.
 

10 MINUTE hacky sack, baseball, beanbag pattern PNG (works like PDF)

I just made this for fun for the kids last night.
Fill this with rice, beans, sawdust, sand or whatever.
You can use old jeans, scraps of fabric or whatever you like. This is a 10 minute project that the kids loved!
Very easy to do!
You can enlarge it or shrink it and make whatever size you want. Make a giant one in the shape of a baseball for a beanbag chair!
This is in PNG format. (Windows calls it a PDF)
This will work for any operating system.
You can purchase this and other patterns from the bottom of this page!

we are having a boy.

I made these little booties (for sale on etsy) bootie linky.  Originally, I thought I might be having a girl, but it's a boy.  I also made little boy booties.  I haven't photographed those yet.  But here is a picture of the ones I am selling.  Cute aren't they :)  I better get making some more stuff, after I clean up our house.  bleh.
