peeking out, the temp. started to rise, and it was beautiful!
Who can watch the weather change, smell the blooming
flowers, and feel the sunshine on their face and question
the existence of God?? Maybe spring is finally here.... I have
my fingers crossed!
My first week of not working has been fabulous! I decided
that I would not vegitate, I would do something productive
each and every day before starting my sewing or crafting.
So far I've succeeded with the exception of today. I've
cleaned out behind my stove, refrigerator, washer, and
dryer. I cleaned out our 55 gallon fish tank (with Hubby's
help), washed a couple windows, washed 2 sets of
curtains, worked out in the yard, and started cleaning
on our storage shed.
The shed is a HUGE project. It is filled mostly with
my crafting supplies. It's a nice little shed, has running
water, nice big windows, and carpet on the floor. I even
painted it and put up border. My intentions were to
use it as a craft shop where I could work on my projects
without messing up my house. Well, that idea didn't
work out too well. I hated being away from the house
so it ended up being for storage mainly.
I've also got boxes of baby clothes that belongs to
my Grandmonsters that I just keep hanging on to. I've
got this grand illusion that my nephew will some day get
married and have a baby or two. So I keep saving all
these little clothes and stuff for him. But, I suppose
first he should find a woman that he actually likes, huh??
I also had (the key word is HAD) boxes of goodies that
I had taken out of my house. I had intended to have
a huge yard sale..... but it still hasn't happened. I just
got tired of looking at all those boxes stacked up and
told Hubby that I wasn't keeping the stuff any more....
it had to go.... today! So I started chucking it out the
door of the shed and he took it to the dump. The yard
sale stuff is no longer in the shed!
I finished up an outfit for Jaylan, with the exception
of the elastic in the Capri pants and the back of the
little halter. It is absolutely adorable! I looked at it for
a while then decided she needed a pair of hair scrunchies
to match, so I made them. Then I decided maybe she
would like to wear her hair down, so I made a
matching headband. Then I decided she needed a purse
to match., so I drafted a little pattern and made that too.
Now I'm debating whether or not to make a matching
wallet for her ensemble. I probably will before it's
over with. I'm waiting for Jaylan to come try the outfit
on so I can do the elastic. When that gets done I'll post
a pic of the outfit.
Sunday was Honey Wayne's birthday, he hit the
big number TWO. There was a party with food, a
Sponge Bob cake, ice cream, and lots of presents. I don't
wrap presents, to me it's a waste of time and money.
Anyway, we got him this big Bulldozer that makes all
kinds of sounds and moves around. So I brought it
inside and put it up against the wall among all the diaper
bags, thinking no one had seen me do this. We're all
sitting around talking and along comes Jaylan, jerks the
bulldozer up and yells, "Happy Birthday Honey Wayne!"
The little stink had watched me bring it inside and
decided he needed his present at that moment instead
of waiting until after we'd eaten. The bulldozer was
a hit! He really seemed to like it.
I finally got some pics put into Photobucket so I can
share some shots of all my Grandmonsters. As you
can tell, I'm the ever proud Mimi. When Jaylan was
born I said that I finally figured out why all those old
ladies had big purses... it's so they can carry pics of
their grandbabies around. Guess what.... my purse
gets bigger with each Grandmonster! :)
First we have Jaylan.
Next we have Honey Wayne.
Now for the newest family member, this is Kortney. Honey
Wayne can't say Kortney, he calls her Cookie. Now we're
all calling her Cookie. She's now 3 months old. These pics
were taken Saturday.
