Okay that jar is awesome and I am going to make it! Little One will LOVE it! Mom and I were laughing as we were picturing Lou cracking up watching his. That boy is too cute. Okay so I don't know how you can handle that freezing weather! I know we did all growing up but living here for the last 6 years has really changed me... 60 degrees is COLD for me! Pathetic I know. Today the wind has been crazy, I mean nonstop all day and our patio is a mess with branches and other things.
Alright so my week has been pretty good. I decided that I need to have my menu planned for the week so that I am not running to the grocery store everyday trying to figure out dinner. I planned my menu Monday morning (alright should have been planned on the weekend) and Little One and I took the the stores. We bought all the ingredients for the week and I have to tell you it has been so nice knowing what is coming! I absolutely love the Pioneer Woman and I am making a Chipotle Steak Salad from her blog tonight. I'll let you know how it turns out :)

I finished the hat and decided to give it to a friend who watches Little One every time I sub as a thank you. So today my craft is a hand made stuffed animal. I thought, why buy one when I can potentially make one. I got online (etsy) and looked at all kinds of owl stuffed animals. When I found my inspiration all I did was sketch out the body and feet on paper and then traced it to fabric. I used buttons as the eyes and appliqued on the eyes and nose. I also added wings before I sewed the top and bottom together. I also added ribbon on top for "hair" before I sewed the front to back. I left two spaces on the bottom open to hand stitch the feet in and stuff it. I think it turned out pretty good :) Little One loves it. Okay I lied I wasnt really looking at owls, well some, but mostly birds because I wanted it to be a "chick." However, everyone says it looks like an owl so I do need to find a better pattern for a birdie HA!
