Winter Recital

Collin and Logan at their Winter Recital last Saturday

I'd love to show you how it sounded

but this DARN thing won't let me download the videos

 AARRRGGGHH!!

So just take my word for it...

they did great!

I was very proud of how well they played

and how hard they worked to prepare.

(Maybe someday I'll get the videos to download)

Now Where Was I?

Remember last year when my friend, Alyson, talked me into this project?

Well... she did it again!

(Oh YES, she did!)

This time we decided on the book, "Each Peach Pear Plum"

(Alyson was in charge of making 30 peaches, plums and pears, and I was in charge of the characters)

and somehow between Thanksgiving and out of town visitors -- TWICE

I managed to finish them.

Here they all are:

The Three Bears

 Jack and Jill

 Cinderella and Bo Peep

 The Wicked Witch and Robin Hood

 Mother Hubbard, Tom Thumb and Baby Bunting

 There you have it...

 12 of my newest, closest friends
(we've spent A LOT of time together)

that I happily loaded in the car for a quick trip to Concord

so that they could hang on THIS TREE

 which is standing in Ralph Waldo Emerson's Study

in the Concord Museum

(I'm SURE he would have approved :)

I'm just so happy to be done with this little project

 that I don't know what to do next...

*shop for Christmas

*decorate for Christmas

*sew for Christmas

*clean my house

*read

*sit and stare blankly into space

*re-introduce myself to my family

*SLEEP!

It will be nice to think about something else for a change.

(Hey, why don't you swing by the museum and see them yourself!)
