a few more…

here's a few more layouts created in the last sewing-less week. It's coming home today (thanks Dad for picking it up!), so I can't wait to start on some projects that got put on hold. Namely, Sadie's Easter dress! I cut it out last night...I'm using a pattern, wish me luck. Those things seem like they are written in Swahili sometimes. (Or some hard … [Read more...]

no sewing machine=scrapbooking time!

While I'm waiting for my sewing machine to get back from the sewing machine doctor's, I decided to try and still be productive. I cut out a bunch of sewing projects I've been wanting (needing) to do...and scrapbooked. (GASP!) I haven't done that in awhile! It took a couple of layouts to get back into some kind of groove, so I won't show you the … [Read more...]

I have to be inspired and then obsessed with a project. Like today, I had run out of baby cards in my stash and I'm going to a shower this Friday...so...what to do but whip up a card? I admit, I don't like … [Read more...]

Relaxin’ and Scrapbookin’

Today was one of those days. You know, when you don't change out of your PJ's? (I did take a shower though) It was laundry day. Janae came over after lunch and hung out with Sadie and I. We made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and I tried to explain the characters and plot lines of Grey's Anatomy to her. (didn't work) She had a blast playing with … [Read more...]

Gotta love Mondays…

This morning me and the scrapbooking gals, Aimee and Kim, got together again...although, again we didn't do any scrapbooking. I did get some stuff out of my bag though. Progress! lol. The other babies had fun talking and grabbing at each other, but Sadie mostly just sat there and looked around. hehe! Aww cuties! She had a rough rest of the day … [Read more...]
