Well Said
I know a lot of you already check out the “Well Said” sidebar on the blog, but I thought I’d point it out a few items from today in case you hadn’t seen it or usually read via a feed reader.

We’re Expecting…
…happy holidays for everyone!
Christmas Chip-Tunes
Brandon (who normally doesn’t like Christmas music) told me about this and I thought it was such genius I had to share. Christmas music. Done in chip-tunes. In the style of various old games.
Awesome.

Gussied Up for the Holidays
Brandon and I finally finished decorating the house for Christmas. We were thinking about getting a real tree again (last year’s was so pretty), or maybe a big white fake tree, but we ended up using the little silver tree that we already had. It’s cute, just a little too small.
Our white ceramic [...]
Felt Reindeer
Jules warned me that my taste would change. Whimsy, sweetness, and cutesy… it will all be irresistible to me now that I’m with child.
Is this proof? Would I have seen these pre-pregnancy and thought “meh, too twee”? Especially since I couldn’t get them to stand up and instead placed them in tiny [...]
Sequin Balls
I wish I could find a good place in the house for these. They’re too awesome to live in plastic bags in the basement.
(They were up in the old apartment for the holidays.)

I’ve been seeing a lot of felt garlands around lately, and I think they’re adorable. Problem is, I can’t help but think “I [...]
Happy Halloween
Brandon and I carved our pumpkins with a new technique this year. We tried doing the whole halfway carving thing, with mixed results.
I like mine, even though it’s not as perfect as I had envisioned.
Brandon’s not as pleased with his. Originally he wanted to carve “Palin 2012″ with drippy, bloody looking letters because [...]
Waitin’ for Santa…
As the next four days will be a blur of family and holiday hullabaloo, I thought I’d share our Christmas card with you today (instead of waiting until the 25th).
Alternately, you may be interested in the slightly more risqué version: Waitin’ for Santa.
Happy Holidays, everyone.
