Hey family - my life lately... getting crafty

I have officially developed a very strong desire to create a HOME out of our little townhouse and just for our happy life.













This is where some of the magic happens.

Scotty's Duathlon - BAD to the BONE!

So, wayyy back in September Scott decided to run and bike in this duathlon happening about an hour away from Lexington.

The distances ended up being run 4 miles, bike 25, then run 4. It was a little tougher than he thought with the running. He was expecting two runs a little under 3 miles. So, he ended up running 2-2.5 miles longer than he thought he was going to and they weren't just any 8 miles they were some serious trails.

He had been biking 1 -2 times a week for a couple months leading up to this doing 25 mile rides. So let's just say he killed it on the biking.

on the other hand he had only ran about 3 times in the two months leading up to this and only about 1-3 mile runs. He did pretty good on the first run, but on the last run he pooped out.

He did a good job pushing through! Next year we are going to do it together - him biking and me doing the running. Way more fun right?

Our little Christmas at home before our big Christmas

We borrowed a little tree from Bart and Emily, but we didn't really have any ornaments so it's a little bare. HAH! ....................... What might that huge mystery present be???

I made us some fun little stockings with this vintage Christmas fabric that I have had around forever.

Scott filled my stocking with all kinds of useful things that I have been needing and an extra surprise... baby binkies for ages 3-6 months. Awesome, just what I needed most! I filled his with his favorite snacks and some other fun things!

I made Scott a UK blanket as one of his gifts, which were fun, but not near as exciting as what he got me.....

A VIOLIN!!! Scott totally surprised me and got me this violin! He found it used for an amazingly good deal! I have been wanting to learn how to play and now I can. So, I am now on the search for someone who will trade violin lessons for sewing lessons or something of that nature.
