1. thanks for all the comments on mick's fabulous performance! we love making 'mock-umentaires' and i'm sure there will be more! yes, it was very hard to hold the camera still!!
2. yindi laughed for the first time yesterday! ivy was laughing and then all of a sudden she let out a mighty giggle and it was such a precious moment!
3. registration has opened for 'got paint?', a class i'll be teaching on Big Picture Scrapbooking starting in january. it runs for 4 weeks and should be good fun!
4. it rained this week! i missed having winter while we were in LA, it never got cold. so far san diego is cooling off nicely for me. nothing like smelling the rain and snuggling up knitting and drinking milos!
5. it's officially soup making season. we live off soup during winter. ivy my miniature domestic goddess LOVES to help me in any way possible, she's amazing! she has her own little broom and sweeps the kitchen floor for me, ASKS to wash dishes and has just started chopping up vegetables...
(yes this is a sharp knife - she was being incredibly careful and i was right there watching her incase you are panicking right now)
6. i'll wait for it to come on dvd because it looks pretty dodgy!! - but if you happen to see the comebacks look in the crowd scenes for me, mick, tara & jeff! we were extras! first and last time we'll ever do that - it was b.o.r.i.n.g!!! but something different to do on a friday night!
have a great weekend!
Yay! I'm the first to comment! We also are into the soup making season and actually have that exact same topic my blog's latest entry. You will see my daughter (age 4) chopping up carrots as well!
I'm a huge fan and love all your work! You inspire and make me jealous all at the same time! (and you live in SD? I'm even more green-crazy-jealous now!)
Peace, d.

LOve the picture about Ivy. It so great when your kit is helping in the kitchen. I hope that the dinner was great. (because of the help you get).
I'm looking forward for the challenge.
Having a great weekend without boringness.

Ivy is such an amazing little girl. I hope I am blessed to have such a daughter when I decide to have kids.

I'm very excited about the got paint class!!

How funny!!! 'The Comebacks'? Hmm...doesn't sound top tier, but I bet in the end, it will be fun to see you all. My husband was in 'Lucas' as an extra (in his teens) and he always is so proud to point out his back to me. *lol*
Soup soothes the soul. I'm convinced it's the perfect food. It's so wonderful that Ivy loves to help. That is one amazing girl!!
And I'll start the letter writing campaign for Mick's follow up YouTube event. It was seriously funny AND good. Not too shabby!
Yay for Yindi laughing :) Love those milestones - I bet she was giggling at Sir Richard Attenborough ;)
