I'm a Winner!

I am so excited to find out that I won a beautiful little Elf Coat! Check it out! www.sillycondesigns.blogspot.com Thank you!

Computer Time!

Lately, I don't get the oppertunity to use this laptop in the evenings or weekend since Myriah and Clay have started playing World of Warcraft. If one is not playing it- the other is. We have other computers but this one is the one everyone wants. Anyway, the positive to me that it has given me extra time to get a few things done. Now that Jen has received the package, I can show pictures of what I sent in my St. Patrick's Day Mini swap.

I had so much fun putting this together. I know it was suppose to only be one item but, oh well. Hopefully, I'll continue to participate in swaps. The gifts were sent to Jen at http://lipstickandlaundryca.blogspot.com/ Her blog is great. So many beautiful pictures and handmade inspirations.

I picked up some more beads and wire tonight to make some more bird nests. If I get a chance to use the computer tomorrow night I will put pictures of them on here.

Burp!

I did make time today to make a few burp clothes. I have wanted to try these for awhile but I think I have been afraid to use the sewing machine too much. Silly? Perhaps, but I have always wanted to sew but have always had so many problems. With this new sewing machine, I can sew!! No problems! Love it!

Week in Review

This week was nuts. My brother Mike flew in last Tuesday, trouble at work, Bob(Bro #2) came to town on Thursday, Em had an illness, and did I mention that work was stressful? I don't feel like I spent near enough time with my bothers, the house is a mess, and the weekend is over and I am exhausted. Whah, whah, whah. Let's start that again.
This week was crazy! I am so glad I have had a few days to spend with my whole family. We have had a lot of QT time and I was even able to make it to a Mardi-Gras party with some great food.
Today, Mike, Emily and I made a fairy house. We have been wanting to make one for awhile and today was the day. Here is a few pictures:

Crazy Week

This week has been insane. But... that's okay because it is over! Yay! I joined another SWAP and I am excited to work on it!

Weekend Projects

I can't believe Valentines Day is this Saturday already. I started on this little owl a couple weeks ago but finished tonight by sewing the banner. Now what? Should it be a magnet? Or perhaps a pin?

This weekend I made these two little softies. This one is my favorite of the two but I do think they both need some feet.

Tonight Emily and I started on her Valentines for her class and I started on gifts for the girls. Hopefully I can get them done in time!

Home on Wednesday.

Myriah isn't feeling well today so I am home with her. I hate that she is missing school after being out for a week because of the storm but I can't send her to school with a fever. Both Myriah and Clay are having a great time playing World of Warcraft so this is the first chance I have had with the laptop. Here are a few projects I wanted to put on here.
Above is a small composition notebook for my purse that got a makeover.

Little bug magnets are fun to make.
