  • :)

     Okay, so yesterday I finished staining the bookcase pieces.  Found using a rag was a whole lot better then using a foam brush. :) Also went grocery shopping with my two daughters plus my lovely little niece, who was acting quit goofy.:) Then moved pieces of a tree of the lawn. I'll just say I was pretty worn out yesterday.
     Today I  finally finished my bean bag! Ya! I got a stronger needle for the sewing machine and that did the trick. Then I made some Easter bags for the kids. I had them pick the material.
     I would have to say I've done a lot of sewing the last 2 weeks. My house has fallen behind on neatness. Oh well. I'm too tired to care right now.I don't want to even think about starting dinner. Ugh. I don't have any clean dishes at the moment. It's embarassing but true.. I don't feel like washing them...Does someone want to come do it for me? Please!
     I was thinking how awesome my little nieces and nephews are. I love every one of them. They are all so different!
     Back to school next week....

  • Frustration!

    I am so frustrated! I was trying to finish the bean bag I'm sewing and my thread kept breaking and then my needle broke. Something that should have taken me 30 mins. turned out to take over 2 hours! I gave up about 8:30. It's so annoying! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I am so close to finishing it.. Okay I'm done ranting.
     Three out of four of my kids are sick. They've been lying around like zombies all day.
     In more cheerful news , the sun was shining today! It's amazing how much happier and energitic I feel when the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly in the sky.:)
     I ate way to much today. Aaaargh.
     Mim just called and said Rose just got 3 foster kids tonight. She went from 3 to 6 kids. I'm not sure I could handle that.
    Later Gator!

  • More sewing.

      Sunday I officially finished Bryce and Autumn's little "tent" for there bed. I need to steal the camera from Gary, so that I can get a few pic's taken and upload them. It's spring birding competition time again at our house so from March til the end of May he hogs the camera.:)
     Did a bit more sewing again today. I cut out a bean bag and have it nearly all sewn together but have to get a zipper and velcro to finish it off. Gonna meet Mim for lunch tomorrow so I thought I'd stop and pick those up.
      The kids have off of school this week for a much needed break . I admit I'm the one who needed the break.:) I can get way more stuff done around the house.
     Gary and I got lumber to make a bookcase. I want to stain it but am waiting til it gets a bit warmer and not so rainy so I can do it out in the garge with the door open. I'm just itching to get that done and see what it looks like. We want to make another one then. We have LOTS of books lying around that need a place to go.
      My poor little Autumn has been sick for a few days. She looked awful. Started feeling better today. The kids have been getting sick alot lately it seems.

  • Library day!

     Okay before I write about the day at the library I want to say that I have always liked goldfish for some odd reason. They have some weird, soothing effect on me. They are one of those things that I see and it just makes me smile and feel happy! Alright done with that subject.
     
     Every Wednesday  I take the kids to storytime. So we did that this morning. The kids and I saw at the library that they were going to be showing  Bolt that afternoon downstairs. We haven't seen it yet. I think its really neat that they have a new release kids movie once a month in the basement of the library. They use a projector and give the kids popcorn. So anyway we went home and just a few hours later went back to the library to see the movie. It was so cute!
     
     Catch everyone later! ;)

  • Warmer weather....randomness

     I am so ready for warmer weather! Can't wait to shed the winter jackets and chilly winter air. I like winter, just wish it didn't last so long.........
     I made some curtains for the bunk bed downstairs so Autumn could sleep in a "tent". I was getting tired of having to hang a blanket up every night. It looks pretty cute. I 'll have to post some pictures.
     I like orange!  I think it is such a happy-summery color.Our bedroom used to be an orangey color. It reminded me of a sunset.:) 
     I've been spring cleaning inside. Cleaning things out. Getting rid of things.Moving other things. I want to clear out the 1 bedroom upstairs so Autumn and Bryce can sleep up there. Bryce sleeps with the girls downstairs but wants his own room. I think he is getting tired of all the pink and purple girly stuff all over.
     Okay this is a pretty random blog .
     I love making things! I always like having some kind of project going.
     Gotta help Austin with his Socail Studies now. Later!
