the to do lists

Getting really excited abut Baby as I realize we are closer to her birth than I had thought. Not, I suppose that we were further away, just that I hadn't considered how soon it really would be. I have made a list of stuff to do before baby and began crossing the list off as I have been sewing baby wipes and a friend gave me 3 garbage bags full of clothes from birth through 18 months. Exciting stuff. I think I have settled on a name for her and I just need Hubs to give his approval of the name as THE pinned down name instead of just a name on the list.

I have also been secretly working on a little dollhouse made of cardboard for the girls solstice present. Last night I "wallpapered" it with fabric and watered down fabric glue...which it turns out does not wash easily off ones fingers. I am very excited about it, I think they will like it a lot. It is for their lalaloopsy dolls that they are all pretty much obsessed with. I told them today that for solstice we will all make presents for each other. Biggest wants to make Middlest a stuffed animal, the others have not started to plan yet.

So much crafting to do, birthday parties to attend and some shelved obligations I need to get back to. Not to mention Christmas to get in order. Today I optimistic about getting things done in a timely manner.
