No Excuses Thursday

My friend Michelle has started up a very motivating weekly gathering within the blog community to help us all get off our behinds and get things done!  No Excuses Thursday.  I for one have very busy weeks with the kids and sometimes just feel a bit overwhelmed by all the things that need to get […]

WIP Wednesday

I am jumping into this with everyone – WIP Wednesday’s.  I usually have several things on the needles, and still do.  But the sewing bug has struck, so the machine has been whirring away in the evenings.  I’ve managed to make quite a few things actually…but those are FO’s rather than WIP’s, so will wait […]

Creating

Yes, two posts in one day!  I just had to share with you my creative streak however.  The girls have been at Grandma and Papa’s since Monday, and yesterday I didn’t have to work.  So what does a mom do when home alone all day (other than laundry, bathrooms and vacuuming of course!)?  I created […]
