Wearing: LOFT Military Sweater

It's been one of those days.

Not the bad kind...the very good kind.

I gained some serious mileage on one of my projects, my four-year-old told me I was awesome,

and we had a smattering of sunshine for the first time in days.

Oh, and I managed not to burn this barn down...a definite upside to the day.

All that, plus I got a crazy awesome new header designed for me by

an artist friend who will very likely blow things up when he hits the professional scene.

So, you can see how a ho-hum day went from good to better to the best!

Same outfit, different day (I do that occassionaly, you know)...wear something more than once. I also wore this here...hehehe...but I wasn't gonna bore you with the EXACT same outfit in another post, so I threw them in here.

Wearing: Steadfast and Whimsy

I did not like these skirts the first time around in the 90's when I wore a pink popsicle-colored version, and I did not expect to like them any better the second time around...

But I've kinda been surprised to find how much I've enjoyed wearing it, just for a change, if nothing else.

It's a little bit House on the Prairie, a little bit college campus--1992, and I don't really mind returning to this silhouette as long as they're not called broomstick skirts again...

I mean, how unflattering was THAT name?

Anyway, my children are able to sit up and take nourishment now, and we're all giddy with excitement, counting down these last few days until Christmas. We're gonna head north to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to feel the love of the family and hopefully, get some quality skiing time in.

What about you?

Travelling or staying home? Sitting by the fire or hitting the slopes?

Whatever your Christmas plans, I hope for the best and merriest for you....
