The Downens were hit with a nasty cold this week. Every single one of us was affected to one degree or another. The virus combined with the first week of bitter cold found us calling a sick day and snuggling down by the fire under blankets. We were even too sick to go to Homeschool Friday which was a total bummer because it was reptile day! I stayed busy with my projects until Heidi got sick and needed to stay on my lap all day.

| One Miserable Baby |
My first project was sewing up some fleece into warm pajamas for Shane and using the leftover fleece for a pair of pants for Lula. Shane has been living in his pajamas for three days (being sick and all) and I still can't keep Lula dressed. She is going to freeze this winter if she doesn't wise up and wear pants! But the best project that I haven't started yet is diapers for Laura's baby!
This Nana just can't resist a 60% off sale on snuggly printed flannel. Especially if her much-loved step daughter is planning on cloth diapering. Little baby girl diapers are SO cute. The cost for one Nana-made diaper is only $.73. So far I only have the fabric washed, but I have plenty of time, right?

| Stocking #1: Whose will it be? |
I've been taking advantage of having a sleeping baby on my lap to start up the Smith Family Christmas stockings. My original plan was to make stockings that look like ours, but I just can't knit another fair isle Christmas stocking. I begged Ami to let me just knit striped stockings and in return I would knit enough for her whole family.
So there you have it! Another week at the Downen house with nothing new and exciting to report *smile*
