sealed with smooches!

thanks mom.

she's pretty good at keeping me in line // today she reminded me that i needed to hold true to my promise and show off my crafty gifts for the boy.

my first little token of love is super soft and cozy to warm his toes.

a pair of old man slippers - perfect color! adorned with an embroidered heart...

drumroll please... the finished slipper. (sorry for the change in lighting, bad jess!)

now onto my second crafty project, the hand painted postcard....

the postcard hung out in the mailbox for a quick second before i quickly suggested he go out and check the mail.

i had a ton of fun with my acrylic paints and sewing junk and he appreciated the personal touch!

valentine/schmalentine

i started working on my valentine's day surprises for jeremy today. i won't post pictures today (he tends to read this from time to time) however, i'll make sure to post the results after sunday.

i (we) have never been big on this holiday, at least not the whole buying frenzy that seems to precede it. jerms and i decided that this day is set aside for just "us" time, no chores or work or blogging.

last year was a quiet afternoon on honeymoon island, cute name right?? we packed our picnic basket and a blanket and that was it... nothing special was needed. we set up camp on the dog part of the island (this was before miss max, we must've been getting that puppy fever then). the year before that was a surprise picnic he surprised me with on a tiny floating dock on the hillsborough river - we popped champagne (we're fancy like that) and ate a little pasta salad. our motto- involve food in everything! so this year i have no idea what's in store- stay tuned.
