I'm still here!

Nothing exciting has been happening to blog about. I have reached another day off. We will be shopping for school supplies and clothes a little later with Linda and the girls. We also need to fit in a trip to the Post Office. Tomorrow is an exciting day with a trip planned to Tracy! I know you all are jealous about me getting to go to Tracy without you!

I am working on getting kits together for my guilds BOM in August. I am doing Autumn Spice in Moda's Holly Jolly line. Of course I am cutting an extra top to make for myself. I am also trying to locate Moda's Christmas Past line to make kits for too. I am hoping to have 56-60 kits to hand out, which means 2 quilts to win.

Nikole has been helping watch Poop for me. She comes over and takes care of Poop while I get cleaning and stuff done. The new term for it is a "Mother's Helper." She is trying to earn money for our guilds bus trip to Road to California. According to her she is going to need about $1000 for the weekend. I told her she needed to find more chores to do.

Day Off

Why does it seem like a day off never last long enough? I know I don't have enough of them. I feel like I haven't got anything done and the day is almost over.

I did go to Target, do a little cross stitch, clear part of the air hockey table and cut the bases for my birthday party invitations. I still need to go back to Target, finish the air hockey table, and actually make the invitations. Never mind the "To Do" list for my day off. I really wanted to work on my sewing studio since I wanted it done in 3 more weeks.

Poop is doing good. We had a small bout with the flu earlier this week. She is doing much better today. The knot on her head is almost gone, along with the bruising. She still thinks she is big enough to get out of her highchair on her own. We have lowered it so if she does try to jump it's not a far fall.

For My Mom

My Mom says I am hard to shop for. She says that I buy everything I want and leave nothing for anyone else. So For her I am making a list of things I would like for my birthday. All of these are things I wont buy myself.

1. Extra bowls for my stand mixer
2. Wood spoons form the store in Jackson
3. Billy Currington CD with the Turnip Green Song
4. New Josh Turner CD with the Firecracker Song
5. Gift Cards for JoAnn's, R Lily, Home Goods, Dinners My Way
6. Ice Cream maker for my stand mixer
7. Stampin' Up stuff (I'll add my list)

T.G.I.F.

Today is really my Monday. So I got a lot done on this weeks to do list and I even got stuff done that wasn't on the list. I am hoping to get a few more done before the end of the weekend.

Today I went to Big Valley Thrift. Now I love to shop but I am not really a thrift store shopper. I highly recommend shopping at Big Valley Thrift. I went in to buy all the kids jeans, for making Decoupage Jeans. I got name brand jeans (Roxy, Gap, Levi, Tommy, Limited Too) for $2.98 all the way down to $0.24. The store was clean and the clothes are in great condition. So now the jeans are in the wash and I have been playing with fabric and waiting to make the first pair.

In the mean time, Poop fell off a chair last night with grandma and has a knot on her head. She is learning to sing La Cuca Racha. Maybe we should have started with Twinkle, Twinkle. She also has decided that she is big enough to get out of the highchair when she is done eating. We are waiting for her to take a header out of that.

And last but not least the transmition in the Blazer has started to go out. All that is left is second gear and drive. A friend will be looking at it on Monday to let us know about repairing it. We are hoping for good news. The Blazer does have 315,000 miles on it though and this is the first major repair.

Talented Tuesday!

Yes I know I am posting this on Wasted Wednesday but here we are. This is a picture of the second sample purse I made for my class. It is made out of a satin type fabric. The inside is solid black and the outside is burgundy with flocked black fleur de lis. Man those french classes are paying off.

These are the cards I made last night at Stamp Club. They were so easy and so cute! I love the Groovy Guava and Wasabi Green card. I need to order that stamp set.
