Our nephew (who is in high school) is taking a film class this year. He created a stop-motion video for his class with these paper cutouts he made. They are pretty great, we’re proud of him!

our daughter, holly is turning four tomorrow! her birthday party is this weekend. we were banking on a sunny day so we could have it outside but sadly it looks like it may be rainy. i love planning her birthday parties and love that it gives me the opportunity to make things. i’ve been making things all week like these tissue paper pom poms. i’m excited to hang them all over our house. they were super easy to make. you can even make these using old sewing patterns, i followed this tutorial here.
i also cut out lily pads from construction paper and am sewing frogs for a frog toss game. we’re going to set these lily pads all around our living room floor and have the kids toss rice filled frogs on them.
hope it is a fun party even though it will be a rainy day inside.
i still can’t believe she’s turning four.

Terrarium of the Future…Today!
Monday, October 20th, 2008
We’ve had this old space-aged terrarium in our basement since we moved and before that it was in storage in our apt in brooklyn, but it’s finally found a place in one of our home offices (ex-dining room). The plastic’s a bit cloudy, but overall it cleaned up really well. We had our nephew over a few weeks back and he did an amazing landscaping job, even adding the vintage Matchbox jeep + camper to the desert scene. There’s also a mini plastic cow in there which was Holly’s addition.
The 50′s kids chairs in the background are going to be part of an upcoming Kids Chairs collection that will be up in the shop in a few weeks.
