Saturday morning!

Lst night was spent frustrated and frantic as I tried to make a "stay and Play" blanket for a baby shower for a friends shower that is today!!! Let's just say my machine was not my friend and did all it could to gather, skip and sputter!!! If you sew you know that's not good!!!! Half way throught I just bagged the project...it was basically unsalvageable!

ok...move on to plan B.Wait!!! I don't have a plan B! Don't panic! It's only 9:40p.m. and I don't have a plan B! CRAP!!! I had to figure out something! I did have a stash of baby onsie projects I have been waiting to work on. That's it!!! a cute baby onsie with a sewn on Patch that reads "Totally Spoiled!!! Perfect! I'll make a matching tutu and a a hair band and a pair of matching slippers!!! Now if only I had started 5 hours before!!!! Oh ell!!!

So the machine was still on strike and managed to only get half of what I needed done so I finished the onsie by hand! Finish the Tutu...check! Hair band...check! And I finally get it wrapped and in bed by 11. Not too bad!!!

Man I hate that panicky feeling! I had no reservations on working on the blanket the night before! I've made those blankets how many times before with no problem and then my lame machine is to blame!!! It's my fault for waiting 'till the last minute!!!Maybe it was a sigh! Maybe people aren't as in to home made baby gifts as I think!!! It's not like I do it to save a ton of money on a a gift and the time i put into them is just as valuable!!! Maybe it's time to reevaluate!!!

So what do you prefer? Guests to stick to your registry or do you appreciate the time and effort that people put into making a useful gift? (ok...maybe a tutu isn't the most useful gift I could have given but it was 10 o'clock people!)

just wondering!

????

Why is it that half a cup of juice from a cup looks like a gallon when spilled on the floor!!! And is there not something incredibly wrong with a 4 year old who does NOTHING when she sits and watches her little sister take apple caramel dip and proceeds to slather it on like lotion!! Wish I took a picture!!!

KIDS!

What the...

I had a dream that David Cook was in my class..apparently we were still in school or something. In my dream I went up to him and told him I needed to make out with him before we graduated...you know! Just so I could say I made out with him!!! He just laughed at me. We were good friends so it was a odd request and I was dating Mike so I was mentally trying to figure out the logistics of how I was going to kiss David and have it not be me cheating. CRAZY!!!! So not into David Cook!!

So I'm on a mission to find a nice piece of art work for my kitchen wall... that's one of the last things I need to complete the room and check one more area of my home off my to do list! It has not been very easy! I drove all over Tuesday searching for the perfect painting! I'd love to just pick something up but that leads to two big problems...The first being Mike and I don't have the same taste when it comes to art work and second, I need a fairly large piece for a big wall and I drive a small car! Woe is me!

Like my new header!!! I found this awesome and super easy cool new site that turned everyday photos into old antique prints. It's an Asian site...don't ask me how I found it but it's soooo simple! upload your photo in the browser bar and then press the blue button below it with the ??????! Te Da!!! A cool photo. Save it by right clicking and selecting "save image as."

here is the link

here are some more cool examples...



So cool huh!!! New favorite site!!!!!

ok...so I'm off to get ready ( I know! It's already 9:30ish and I'm still in my robe...back off!!!) and off to search again for the perfect piece of art work...ok maybe not the perfect piece but something that will do!

chairs!!!

good news for anyone looking for out door chairs like the ones I got! I got mine at Home Depot for $10 each. They are plastic so you just rinse them off...perfect huh!!! They came in those three summer colors but they also sold them white and tan but those were $15. I also saw blue ones at Linens N Things but for $17!

So no I did not paint them but oddly enough those are the exact colors I would have painted them had they been wood!!!!!
