little treasures

My days are now filled with little treasures. A special drawing, a tight hug out of the blue, little squeezes while miniture fingers grasp my hand. Tiny collections, found by tiny collectors, stashed in corners and pockets. A tattered leaf lost & forgotten after being scooped up earlier in the day, being named the prettiest leaf -ever. Little smiles that flutter across faces like butterflies. Tiny pieces of a big picture. The picture of, us.

Creating

Lots of making going on at our home. Between Kunklebaby Christmas orders and all our holiday gifts that need made, our days have been full. I've spent the past few months knitting and we'll spend the last few weeks before Christmas sewing. The kids have their own long list of "to do's", like Christmas cookies, clay, gingerbread houses and their own gift making. Mama is finishing scarves, new dolls, quilts, ornaments and some homemade baking too.

It's such a happy time of year for us. We are all excited to see the extended family soon. With most of our relatives 2+ hours away, it's becoming a special treat.
