Wednesday Already?
October 8th, 2008 9:43 am by Naomi in Day to Day at GlitterWhen did that happen?? Well, let me get you updated~
First off, I am thrilled to announce that the Isthmus is going to be a sponsor for the Holiday Craftacular! It is a great opportunity and I am excited to work with them.
I have been squeezing in some work time here and there. I just restocked some of my ornaments including these.
They are acorn tree ornaments, but I think a bowl of them on a table would be sweet for fall too. I’m working on some pumpkins as well.
I even finished a few kitty hats. I love this one.
I have to make one for Darby for her Halloween costume too. She is going to be a black kitty and wants a sparkling one like this.
Besides those bits o’work, we had the girls school open house last night which was fun. I wanted to get pictures, but they haven’t been cooperating with the pics lately. Do you think it would actually physically hurt them to smile and not hit or offend each other for longer than thirty seconds…
There is someone who doesn’t complain yet about getting his pic taken…
He does like making funny faces though! Thank god for digital cameras… I have a huge tote filled with pictures from when the girls were babies that are a bit questionable as far as the quality of the picture.
He is finally big enough (almost) to wear the sweater from my aunt and uncle too. He looks sooo gnome like in it!
He also fits into the amazing moccasins my mom sent. This was the styling outfit he wore to grocery shop at Whole Foods with mom and dad last Sunday.
Henri also has two new favorite things to do.
Here is his favorite thing to do with mom (besides spit up on… oh, and we were heading to a wedding.. hence my makeup. I barely remembered how to put makeup on!)…
He LOVES to pull my hair. And, here is his new favorite thing to do with Daddy.
I hope all of your weeks are off to a spectacular start. I must leave you now and get some work done while Grandma is upstairs cuddling with the babe.
xxoo
p.s….. thanks for all the weight loss suggestions!!! Dammit…. eating well and exercise seem like the answers, huh?? I was hoping for a magic water to drink, or fairy dust, or something much more simple.
xx’s and oo’s

Oh my gosh… well, first of all, pictures of babies sleeping on their dads is one of my all time favorite images. and that cute hat and sweater set! very gnome (you said it first so I hope I can say it without offense).
Congrats about Isthums sponsoring Craftacular, that is really great! It’s such a great affirmation of the indie craft movement and your work of course.
Speaking of work, I know Sachi mentioned starting to think about Christmas. We are doing some store planning and think we’ll put xmas “out” on the sales floor at the beginning of Nov. Of course you can bring things by earlier, but if you have any space to spare at home, we appreciate not getting too much before the end of October as the office is getting impassable. Thanks!

Hey, I’ve been trying to email in my application for the Craftacular, and it keeps getting returned because of a daemon failure thingie. Any ideas, anyone?

Oh my - Henri looks too-cute in the gnome-ish white sweater - I love it!
By Naomi on Oct 8, 2008
Mindy, I’m wearing your necklace you made too in the pic with Henri grabbing my hair!! I need to order some for holiday gifts… I love it!
Rita, as far as the application, I’m not sure what to tell you. My email is naomi@glitterworkshop.com or you can try my gmail address which is glitterworkshop@gmail.com.
Laura, don’t worry! I certainly won’t have xmas stuff ready any time too soon anyway.
xxoo

I love the gnomey Henry sweater! So sweet. I must have missed the post on weight loss. I’m doing great all of a sudden on Weight Watchers. It’s really working well for me this time around. I’ve lost like 7ish lbs so far, but I have cheated a bit too. Lemme know if you need any advice– I’ve done it all! :) xo

I was thinking of Weight Watchers! I have heard good things about it. I even like (and eat) some of their pre-packaged foods. Although, we are trying really really hard to cut down on packaged foods. They are yummy for a little more of a ‘guilt’ free treat sometimes though!! Little chocolate cakes…. yummmmmm….

My friend has lost 25 pounds on weight watchers! I should sign up myself but keep putting it off because of the cost. (which is dumb because I blow that much every week on random stuff.)
Anyways, that boy of yours is the cutest gnome I’ve ever seen! I love that little sweater.
Ruby played with/pulled my hair from the start and still does at 2.5. I love how it seems to relax her…makes me feel like I still have a tiny bit of the baby Ruby with me. :) xoxo
