weekend wishes- better late than never

to get outside & enjoy this gorgeous fall weather before it's gone....


to get started on whipping up some xmas pressies...


to get through some of the books i've been hoarding by my bed...

to help my toddler to get through this phase of night terrors....


to add some more knit decor to my home...


to eat some of these...with some coffee of course...


to hunt down some vintage lace...


to find the time to make a new cozy afghan...


and to have you all comment below which brand of sewing machines is your fave.



yipee, i made it. wasn't sure weekend wishes was gonna happen today, but harper finally napped - poor little thing with her faucet nose. this weekend i would love for my toddler to sleep one night without waking up with a bad dream or night terrors (any tips for night terrors?) and for both of them to be healthy and coldless (word?). i'm hoping to get some sewing/knitting projects checked off my list, get some work done on the instruction booklet for the "infinity & beyond scarf" tutorial, read, get some exercise (ha!), & find a dress for an upcoming xmas party that actually hides my post baby belly and still fits over my girls (aka boobs). what about you guys? what are you up to?

off topic, i've been having some conversations on twitter (follow me @inthemommyhood) about which brand of sewing machine is your fave to use. there have been some wonderful suggestions & tips but i thought i would put it out there for you all to chat as well. i'm sure i'm not the only one dreaming of santa replacing my 11 year old machine (buffy, i hope santa brings you one). i get overwhelmed just thinking of starting to narrow down my choices so i'm researching the brains out of it before i go in the store. we also talked which brand of sewing machine we don't like hoping to narrow down brands that way as well.

so chat away ladies...let's talk sewing machines and maybe some sleep tips for me on night terrors (pretty please?). hope you all have a wonderful, crafty, fun-filled weekend & don't forget to get your entry in for the "bobaloo giveaway" - fab prize! see ya on monday!

*ps - to those of you new to the blog, i try to respond to your comments in the comments section. i enjoy others being able to see the conversation and join in. please don't think i'm ignoring you if you don't get an email from lil'ol me. while i do sometimes email readers most of the time i address questions back in the same comment section. feel free to chat amongst each other as well :)
