Request numero 8?



I can never remember what number I am on... Anyways Today I have been working on Alphabet magnets {kind of using this tutorial}, and they are looking so cute I want them for myself :) C can't stop playing with them, I always love it when he plays with the things I make.


My craft room is a bit of a mess and very disorganized so I am trying to make sense of the place. C and Tober are cooperating well enough, at least they aren't eating each other yet.

It feels like a Monday, I miss Jones. Just found out he gets next Monday off, so we are considering taking the weekend and going camping. C would love it, any opportunity to throw rocks and he is happy.
I have made a dress and a skirt that I wish to show you all but my Phot-o-grapher is due today to give birth... hopefully...maybe I will snap some of my own...although they never turn out as good.


Sometimes I wish all of you didn't live so far away, and that we actually knew each other, not just through our blogs, that way you could come over, chat me up, help me figure out my craft room, laugh at my children with me, and whip up something delicious for our husbands. Sigh.
Thoughts about the Lost Finale and life.
I believe that TV, like music, has huge power to affect the minds of those watching. This power could be used for good, but more often it seems it is used for evil. I don't enjoy watching a group of people I loved in the first season grow very little in the next 5 {if at all} Kill, have sex and do various other horrible things selfishly, all to have it wrapped up in a nice bow at the end with cheesy smiles. Sometimes I wish I could just sit back and enjoy a show without thinking about what the moral of the story is. Even if the writers try to make it a "happy ending" my memories of the show will always be of the character's never being able to make a good decision, until they all died sad and alone. :( It is continually disappointing to me that we hold no one accountable for their actions anymore. I loved that the characters all had pasts, I was ok with all of their flaws, but after 7 seasons I am disappointed that there wasn't really a lesson learned just a lot of in the moment decisions that ended up being bad ones. Maybe I am too critical, I just miss TV with characters worth watching and stories that mattered.

abC's

My C at 3 years old is writing his Alphabet! it is the cutest thing!

He will ask me to show him how letters look but for the most part he just does it on his own. He aslo tries to write his name. I am happy to see that he is learning and growing, it gives me hope for our future with home schooling.

Today was a very good Sunday, and later the Family is coming over to watch Lost:series finale. Good times ahead.

Hey there baby L




My newest Nephew {I now have 8} I sure do love babies. Tober is surrounded by boys! not a bad place to be :)

Taking the day off


My little girl coudn't go to sleep last night. Something was seriously bothering her, teeth, gas, who knows, all I is I have never seen a baby so angry, kicking and screaming,not at us, it was a long night. This morning I have little desire to do anything but sit here and eat the chocolate chip muffins I made yesterday. Hopefully a day off is all I need and I will be back in business tomorrow. Yes a day of online shopping{window shopping} at Anthro and other favorites is all I need. Happy Thursday everyone.

Shipwrecked


I spent the morning perusing a store called shipwreck beads. Goodness it is a big store! I thought it was going to be a 30 minute trip and it turned into an hour and a half failure because they didn't have the beads I was looking for :( I am trying to recreate the necklace above. Oh well keep looking. I did pick up a few beads just for playing around with, we'll see maybe I can come up with something.

These are the Hair clips for Carrie as promised in my Challenge last month. It is quite a dark and gloomy day here so the colors are a little off in the pictures. I hope you like them, and as always if they aren't what you had inmind let me know, I would prefer that you get what you wanted.


7 down, 6 more to go.


I am still finishing :

Taylors Apron
the letter G
alphabet magnets
cow pillow
alphabet blocks
sea glass necklace

And just so you know I plan on shipping all of the projects I have finished on June 15th! so mark your calenders and hope everything goes as planned.


Here is a recap of what I have made so far:








Little white Dress for Biscuit







My baby sister is having a baby girl in June. I call her Biscuit. This dress I made just for her{ ignore the wrinkles}. It is tiny and she will probably only wear is once but it is totally worth it. I just hope it fits! Newborn clothing is weird to make, It just feel so small! but I held the dress up to new baby L and it looked good, so lets pray she doesn't have a 10 lb baby. :)
