I've been slackin'...

It's funny...

I keep checking to see if you ladies have posted anything...
I guess I just really wanna see what you're up to...

Nothing...

Nothing...

Nothing...

Wait a second...I haven't posted a dang thing either! (Mostly cuz I haven't been doing anything other than cleaning, taking care of kids and trying to squeeze a nap in here and there...)

But, last week, I finally did a little sewing. These little crayon rolls have been on my list of things to do FOREVER, and I finally decided to just DO IT! I even made two extra! (One for Carson Schneider's ((spelling!?!)) birthday and one for a nephew for Christmas.

I didn't even buy anything for them. Just a bunch of scraps and ribbon I had on hand...Recognize the ribbon Molly?

The kids took them to church on Sunday and they were a HIT!

Then Saturday night, after a really LOOOOOONG afternoon of cat naps and fussiness from Gavin, I had all 3 kids in bed AND asleep by 9:00, and with Brandon gone to Portland for some Optometry deal, I decided to pull out the fabric I bought at Fabric Depot for Carter's new blanket...(his is falling to pieces and I'm hoping that if I have something to replace it that is appealing...like, has cars on it...then losing his "nigh-night" won't be so traumatic.

There it is...all cut up...it only took me an HOUR to figure out dimensions and cut it all...

pretty pathetic that I was SO exhausted at just 10:00 pm...some things NEVER change...

See the puffy redness around my eyes...I was very tired!

I started piecing it today during the boys afternoon nap. That's not sewn together...I just wanted to give you a little idea of what it'll look like since it's gonna be FOREVER before it's done...

Close up of the car fabric...isn't it adorable!?! I just love it...hopefully Carter does too!

Signin' off~

The MOST ADORABLE LITTLE GIRL ROOM EVER!

So I love this room with all my heart and just happened upon it during one of my "research" sessions online. You see I needed some inspiration for Hattie's current room. I have had enough of the purple and green combo. And now that she is in her own room... Well, we put the some toys in her room as well, so she knows she still shares the space during the day, anyway...I needed some ideas and found this lady. Here's the link: littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com

I really love this room on her blog.

Jen! i need link lessons asap! How do you make works into links?

Oh and the Ithinksew site! to die for! My oldest sis lost sleep over all those to die for patterns! I am not even joking! she couldn't sleep and HAD to buy her fav ones! Miss you both!
