A Year in the Making, day 352

Another quickie today, as I just spent the evening trying to find the dining room table. Where does all the clutter come from, and how the *bleep* does it build up so quickly? We're having company next weekend, and my goal is to tackle a little bit of the mess every night for the next 8 days. Then, of course, once I've cleaned a spot, I have to make sure it doesn't become the new repository of stuff when I clean up another spot. Oh, the vicious cycle!

So here's a little Something Blue for the evening, inspired by a friend of mine who just got engaged last weekend:

A Year in the Making, Day 89

How was Ninja Assassin, those of you who read yesterdays post might be wanting to ask? I'm sure there was a plot in there somewhere but I got distracted by the pretty shiny pointy flying things, the fountains and fountains of fake blood and the well-built topless Asian boy thing.

Munchkin had her traditional birthday dinner at Red Robin early, as the maternal unit flies out the day before her birthday. I remembered to bring my camera. The batteries, however, were dead. Curse words were subvocalized. It is a family restaurant.

We have begun playing Sorry with her, to much hilarity. I loved that game at her age. As with so many of the games I used to love, I understand now so well why my parents had to be begged and wheedled into playing with them me. They don't end. It's board game limbo.

Today, despite the festivities, I managed to complete another necklace, more pastel confection goodness. Here's the newest, Amazonite and Aventurine necklace:



And I got some good pictures taken of yesterday's creations as well:
