New spot for Nativity

December 11, 2006 by Lauren 4 Comments

Someday I’ll have to take pictures up close of our Nativity set.  It’s got large wooden pieces carved in some other country, and it’s very nice.  My favorite pieces are Shmoo Shepherd and Stingy Wise Man. Maybe tomorrow I’ll post their close-ups.

Anyway, I usually put them on top of the piano, but this year they’re in an upstairs window with sheets behind them to make them sillhouette-y.  (The picture to post would have been of me taking this picture.  Our camera doesn’t have a zoom, so I stood on a kitchen stool on the sidewalk.  Pretty classy, eh?)

Snowing in the basement

December 7, 2006 by Lauren 1 Comment

One of the ideas for Kate and John’s wedding is to hang snowflakes all over the enormous cathedral ceiling. Off and on I’ve been working on spray-painting and glittering them. (They are mostly metal – some purchased from ebay and some were handmade by a kid at John’s school. They’re awesome. The less awesome ones […]

Well.

December 7, 2006 by Lauren 6 Comments

(By the way – Happy Birthday, Mark!)  Darn elves.  I’m going to have to start leaving traps out. Lloyd and I came home from Lincoln tonight to find that a certain ‘bathroom elf’ had left some pretty towels for the bathroom.  Well, I had planned a perfectly good evening of sitting around and watching important television […]
