My balanced diet

So a friend of mine recently told me that she was missing my posts on here. Which is funny because I didn't realize anyone actually read the posts on here. Besides me, of course. But since I've been enlightened I thought maybe I'd put a little Sunday goodness on here. This is for your Marie. Unless of course you're disappointed by the content and don't at all enjoy reading it and in that case, it's just a random post and the next awesome one is for you.

I guess I haven't been blogging on here because there hasn't been a lot that's "blog-worthy" going on with me. Although, I think I may have a new Laundry Chronicles edition for this week. Right now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to get myself to stop eating these little bad boys. I had one when I made them, one as a pre-dinner snack, one as a post-dinner treat (a compensation if you will for eating all those vegetables in my salad), another one to reward myself for putting Pumpkin to bed successfully (sometimes I wonder why I don't weigh 300 lbs), and two more because................................hmmmmm when you run out of reasons maybe it's time to stop eating them. Although if you can come up with 4 reasons, maybe you're in trouble to begin with. And yet here I am, wondering how I could justify one more. Although it's just now occurring to me that I need to back away, back far away. Because there's only two left.

If I don't stop soon, what will I eat for breakfast?

I'm just sayin...................

If you're going to buy a 10-pack of Baby Ruth's and you don't want to eat all of them, you probably shouldn't hide them in a secret place that only you know about. I'm just sayin..........

The words of a child

Out of the blue words from the 2 year old I am babysitting today:

2yrold: My mom says we don't eat diarrhea
me: What?
2yrold: We don't eat diarrhea, we don't eat poop and we don't drink pee.
me: Okay. What do we eat?
2yrold: Food.
me: (being facetious) What about boogers? Do we eat those?
2yrold: No.......but just a taste.
me: Just a taste?
2yrold: Yeah cuz boogers is tasty.

And now you know.

Proof is in the Pudding Pictures

I have been a blog slacker, I admit it. The last time I posted was, well I can't even remember with looking it up. But, in my defense, I haven't been just sitting around twiddling my thumbs. I have been BUSY. And I have pictures to prove it. So hopefully I'll be forgiven for not being around for awhile. Here's the story. A friend of mine is having twin baby girls and my friend Tracey and I decided to make her some cute hooded towels and one thing turned to another and pretty soon it was way more than hooded towels (though we did those too). It was a good thing I didn't get into it by myself because I seriously couldn't have done all that sewing without Tracey around to chase after Ava quite a bit. So without further ado, here ya go:

The Booties...............why is everything cuter when it's tiny and in pairs?


I posted these before but had to include them again as part of the whole package.

The onesie dress

And the culprit that started the whole project - the hooded towels! It's hard to tell from this picture but they are very shabby chic.......it even said so on the tag.

And then you put it all together and it looks like this: Or this:

So now that that's over I should be back with some regularity at least. And at the request of Marie, in the next week or so I will post the instructions for how I make the hooded towels, even though it's nothing fancy.

Girls gotta stick together

So, here's a blog you should visit: annakarli.blogspot.com because she's having a contest with her husband to see whose blog gets more traffic. And you know, us girls gotta stick together (if you're a boy reading this, you can stick with us too). Go Karli!

Work of Art Wednesday

Apparently I need to go back to the grade in elementary school when you learn the days of the week because since I started this "work of art wednesday" I have yet to post my projects on a Wednesday. Hmmm.... sorta says something about the chaos that is my life sometimes. But I really have been a little tornado of craftivity lately which is the reason I haven't posted in a week. So since my project list is still pretty long, I thought I oughta drop in and let you see some of the things I've been working on. I did finally make some of those marble magnets (that the rest of you have been making for 10 years) as well as a couple of hooded towels. And since one of my good friends is soon having twins, these are my most recent project to be added to the "welcome babies" package. The twins are supposed to be identical, thus one bow on the left, one on the right just in case they need a little help telling them apart. Back to the craft room!

Lucky Lady

You know how you know that life is good? I'll tell ya. When you have fresh flowers on your kitchen table for a month because the "welcome home" flowers your hubs gave you went ahead and kept on living clear up until the "happy valentines day" flowers from your dad arrived on your doorstep. Bliss I tell ya!
