Funny

This morning I handed jack a blueberry bagel. He sniffed it and tried to hand it back to me. I told him to eat it. He walked over to the trash, threw it in the trash, walked back to me and pointed at the cereal. Which he promptly ate.

Yesterday I told Lilly she was not to come out of her room unless she was bleeding from her ears. She asked for further explanation and I told her unless there was blood pouring from her ears she was not to leave her room. She told me that her ears never bleed and I said EXACTLY.

I am blogging from my iPad tonight. My computer crashed and died and took my pictures and video with it. I don't remember the last time i backed up, so no clue what I still have. While the computer was crashing Lilly got a hold of my iPad and charged $50 to my iTunes account by purchasing gems for her game. It's been a fun week in my world of electronics.

Sewing Machine Cover

I was searching for fabric on Etsy when I found this beautiful Amy Butler fabric:

It was fabric love at first sight.  I used the fabric to make a cover for my sewing machine.

I followed the tutorial from this blog.

I plan to make a cover for my cricut with the same fabric.

This cover is the first step to my soon to be craft space in my basement.

p.s. I registered Lilly for full day kindergarten today.  Why is my baby getting so big?
p.p.s.  Full day kindergarten is the only option here for public schools.

Last week

We had a pretty normal week (knock on wood). A few snow days, some knitting and sewing projects, some soup making, and puzzle doing, all in all very low key. I am sure this will jinx my next week, but I need to document my normal life moments.

Yesterday I participated in a three hour zumbathon. It was a blast. It was three hours of zumba, food, massages and prizes. I can't wait for the next zumbathon!

This coming week Lilly has school, I have some work and craft projects. Hopefully another low key week.

Happy Sunday.

Sock

I knitted my first sock.

Socks are difficult because you knit them on tiny little needles.

It took a really long time.

Now I have to make the other one.

Nap time/Quiet time

It's nap time at my house.  Lilly wont take naps anymore, so she has quiet time. Either way it's my time to do what I want.  Or what needs to get done.  Right now my kitchen really wants to be properly cleaned, especially the floor.  The laundry really wants to be folded and put away.  The living room is dying to be picked up and presentable and my sewing project really wants to be finished.
I don't really feel like doing any of the above.  What I want to do is eat some chocolate pudding and dream of knitting this vintage 1930s sweater.

I just have to figure out how to adjust the pattern to the year 2011. Don't you just love it?

Follow me

Ah, so we meet again February. With your wretched ice, snow, and dreary skies; you will not get the best of me.

Isn't it the month for all things pink, red, and lovely?  I can still get through the winter with my head held high as I defeat February.

My plan of attack? Complete denial. I am going to ignore the snow and ice, the sickness, and the bleak sky.  I am going to put my head down and stay really busy.

Projects, outings, work, and maybe some trips.

Join me in defeating February by becoming a follower of my blog.

Yes, you're right, that has nothing to do with anything. I just think it's really sad that I only have 9 followers of my blog. Just click on the follow button to the right.
