My Lastest Obsession…
…making t-shirts and onesies. I hope to have some in my Etsy shop soon. Happy Mother’s Day!
For my mom, who I inherited all of my craftiness from. She made my dresses and bows and taught me how to decorate cakes and how to sew. But most importantly, she taught me how to be a good mother to my boys. Thank you!
Lucky #5
I don’t know. Is 5 lucky? Well, let’s just say it is. It could be. Anyway, #5 is done! Yeah!Sweet Sunday Strawberries
Sunday my husband and I loaded up the mini-van with Fletcher, Nolan, my brother-in-law, sister and niece, Marion and headed to pick strawberries.
It went a little something like this for Fletcher… pick one, eat one, pick two, eat one. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. Plus, we got a boat load of some delish strawberries! Now I have to figure out what to do with them. I’m thinking homemade strawberry ice cream.(Do I have a little redneck or what?!? Wearin’ shorts and still has to have those cowboy boots on. Don’t ask me where he got that hat, either. I didn’t buy it.)
Can’t beat it!Busy, Busy
Things are busy here, like always. We had family here last week. My brother and his wife and three boys were here. Fletch could not get enough of playing with them. Aren’t my boys handsome all dressed to go to church on Easter!?! I’m proud of myself for actually getting everyone ready and a picture made of them and still making it to church on time. The Allen’s run late to EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING! I could get up five hours early to get ready and still run late.
There hasn’t been too much sewing going on here lately with all the activities and family, but I did manage to finish up another block for my Hop To It quilt. Summer is going to be busy. Who knows how much I’ll get done. I’ve decided I’m not going to worry so much about getting too much sewing done. I’m just gonna have fun!Who Gets Married On Tax Day?
This day is special to me. Do you know why? Yup, I love Tax Day! Just kidding. Today is my 11th Wedding Anniversary. That’s right, this day 11 years ago while all of you were mailing out your taxes, my husband was having the BEST day of his life. No… it’s not because we had an open bar. It’s because he got to marry me, of course. I mean, every man wants a wife that can’t cook and spends all her free time sewing. Who knew that 11 years later we would have 2 beautiful boys and such a good life together! Thank God I’m A Country Boy
Yup! Thank God I’ve got myself a little Country Boy!I Used To Be Cute
I know it sounds crazy, but I did used to be cute. I used to have a cute figure and wear cute clothes. I used to have a cute hair cut and wear cute make-up and cute shoes and drive a cute little car. I miss being cute! When did it happen that all of the sudden I woke up and was overweight and sweatpants became my usual outfit and a mini-van my mode of transportation? (I seriously went to the grocery store yesterday in my sweatpants and sweatshirt with no make-up and I honestly can’t recall if I even ran a hairbrush through my hair at all.) I used to care about how I looked and what I ate and if I exercised. I never wanted to be one of those women that got married and had kids and stopped caring about herself and the way she looked, but I guess I did. I need to get back to being the kind of women that takes care of herself because if I don’t take care of myself, who else will? I’ve decided that I’ve got to take some control (because lord knows I can’t afford plastic surgery, tee hee.) As Justin Timberlake put it, “I’m Bringing Sexy Back” or at least cute (probably cute, not sexy, yeah….most likely cute.)
Take Two
Remember me saying that I wanted to make the smaller version of Amy Butler’s new pattern? Well, I actually got it done. Write that down! This is my new diaper bag. The larger version was a little bigger than I needed to carry all my junk around.
The bag is reversible. I’m having a hard time trying to decide which side I like better. Next up…some more Barney things for my niece.Block #3
Yeah! I have block #3 finished. Now to get crack-a-lackin’ on #4.
