Baby Blanket
Even though it is the year of the Rabbit, for me it is year of the Baby. I have 4 babies arriving this year and I couldn't be more excited about it!
One of our good friends is expecting her first baby and is a huge Padres fan so I made her a Padres fleece blanket. The backing is a light blue cloud pattern. I was so excited when I saw this in the store. They usually never have Padres fleece. It was almost like it knew I need some for a baby gift.
Fleece blankets are great because they are soft and durable. I know this will get lots of use. My friend and her husband went to a Padres game for their first date, asked for Padres Season tickets for their wedding and continue to go as much as possible. I can't wait to see their little one out at the Park at the Park.

My Snow Adventure
I haven't been in snow in about 15 years. So this weekend when it snowed 26" at the house I was staying at, it was an adventure. Chains, snow plows, 4am wake up calls and very sweet locals were involved.
Here is what the ground looked like on Friday when the snow started falling:
Here is the ground when we woke up on Sunday morning:
Lets just say, I like looking at the snow much more than living in it. I am super lucky to live in SoCal where we don't get white stuff falling from the sky 3-4 months out the year.

Table Toppers
I recently hosted a small gathering of friends for dinner. Hosting dinner always poses a problem because we don't have an actual dining room table. Due to our inability to chose a table we both like and/or doesn't cost a small fortune. I have a taste for mid-century modern and won't buy knock-offs. Also we use the dining room for drafting and keep a large light table/flat file combo which C made years ago. It works like a charm.
We eat on TV tables every night. Since they aren't that exciting, I quickly spiffed them up with a 11x17 print of a pattern I took from the internet. Part of my being prompt and not over think things.
Here is the result:
I was even complimented on them because they thought they were place mats. I will for sure being doing this again, especially for the holidays.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to the Year of the Rabbit!
May it bring you much luck and joy.
The year of the Rabbit is supposed to be much tamer than last year, which was the year of the Tiger.
For those of you having little ones this year, here is a link to their zodiac information: rabbit
