Bow Ties & Stockings

About a month ago, under no supervision whatsoever, Justin decided to buy a bow tie. It's been he's dying wish for a while, and he finally got the darn thing. He is such a goofball, and loves it with a passion. It doesn't look as awful as I thought it would be (although, I will never say that to his face... even though I know he reads this blog). Here's a picture of the handsome fella.

One thing is for sure though... That stache has got to go.

In other news, last night I decided to be crafty and make our own Christmas Stockings. I was a little nervous about doing them, and I wanted them to be perfected so they would last us a good number of years. A project that probably could've been done within an hour, took me about 2. :)

I think they turned out pretty spiffy. :) I still want to add a few more decorations to them, not sure what yet, but Christmas is still a month away. I just hope I don't put it off. I also bought some fabric last night to do a baby blanket for J.D... at least an attempt. I'm still trying to find an easy tutorial online to try and do, I think I may have found one, but I want to be sure I can do it. I was going to do one of those "tie blankets" with fleece, but the Craft store here had flannel on sale, and I also wanted to try my hand at making a blanket.

I know he's probably going to get tons of blankets, but seriously... how can a baby go wrong with that many blankets here in Rexburg? Justin and I have been searching for jackets for newborn babies... but we still have yet to find any. We doubt that they even make them for babies their age, and figure we'll just bundle him up with butt loads of blankets when we go out.

Less than 3 months now til the mayhem begins! :)
