Yay! Hooray! It's Finally here!

We have an extra special treat for you today, just in time for Halloween. It's the highly anticipated moment we've all been waiting for here on The Cart-- Dylan's latest project (and final video utilizing the set that takes up our entire garage) is done! So it is with much pleasure that I very proudly present (drum roll please) Paperhand Lincoln's West Coast video. . .

Stay tuned for some sort of behind-the-scenes/making-of video.

I have the coolest husband ever.

Trick-or-Treat!

I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the weather is decent this evening for all the costumed littles running around the neighborhood. Got my giant bowl of candy at the ready. This is the first place we've ever lived that we get trick-or-treaters, and I love it! We probably got a hundred last year. Unfortunately, the day is looking mighty soggy so far and the forecast is none too promising. But you never know what the weather will do around here. If I'm stuck with all this candy I might just have to be my own parade and start throwing it at passersby.

The latest will be available this evening,

5:PM Pacific Time,

You'll have to excuse me for being so brief. It's been crazy busy around here.

Today's Table

Some snapshots from this morning's worktable, random acts of cuteness a la Cart. Slowly but surely checking things of my list. And adding new stuff too. The first of this year's Santas is almost done. I know, I know, it's not even Halloween yet. But the big guy was not to be denied. Wouldn't want to end up on the Naughty list.

Owl Lover 2013 Calendar

Shivani over at My Owl Barn has put together a cool project for you to play with. It's a free print-your-own calendar, and over 40 artists have contributed owl-themed work. You get to pick your favorites and print out a little calendar. Or make lots of little calendars. You could also make them into owlicious cards or gift tags, circling the date of the gifting occasion. Lots of possibilities! And bonus, My Owl Barn is hosting a giveaway to celebrate the completion of this project! 

These are the 12 that I picked for my own calendar.

(Yes, I included my own. Is that lame?) 

You can get your own calendar here.

Not-Quite-Something-New-Yet Sunday

I hoped to have all sorts of new stuff to show you today, but reality had other plans. When it comes to finding that elusive balance between home and work, some weeks are more challenging than others. In between life stuff and filling orders, I did manage to cross a few things off my To-Do list though. And I really like crossing things off of lists. And making lists. And abandoning lists altogether and going off on some new and exciting tangent entirely, for that matter. Anyway, instead of Something-New to show, here are a bunch of snapshots from this morning's worktable.

Hopefully by this time next week I'll have lots of new goodies in a more done state. 

But if not, I'll have fun trying.
