I LOVE that light blue Pooh toile!!
Tom- gorgeous Vida! You have such an eye for color! Hard to believe something as little as "I didnt have grey in my stash" kept you back from adding him LOL! i think its perfect! colors are great!!! So perfect for the FL sun!
Last 24hrs in a nutshell. Last night as Im sewing up the feliz overdress (can i just tell you, this is an easy pattern, I just cant sit for long, so take me forever) anyway I realize one of my side overdress pieces has little snips in it. Megan took my snippers and clipped it while it was still laying folded in half and cut 3 little slices. I guess i'm going to try and put a patch behind- but will that keep the fabric from fraying???? They are about 2" apart Id guess- 3 times!!!
This morning- Hooray! i get to go to my class at church- im taking a class on a book called "Say Goodbye to Whining, Complaining, and Bad Attitudes...in you and your kids"
I am so happy to be going! I get Megan all dressed, pig tails and Cindy bows and all. Then i focus on myself, put the dogs in my bedroom, put my jacket on and realize Megan has closed the door at the top of our stairs- which has a lock, but no key and she locked it. I have no access to the garage, and DH has a lovely habit of ALWAYS locking the back door. I pray for the best and go out the front door and limp my way thru the snow, down our hill to the back. Yup, it's locked. But windows right beside it are not. It's my only option. Pregnant or not, symphysis or not- it's my only option. Other than being trapped in my house all day- which is NOT an option. I flip over a rubbermaid type container thats out there and try to use that- but its so cold it just shatters under me. I go for a office trash can and flip that over- it's filled with ice. That doesnt shatter. Im able to launch half my body thru the window- my hands can reach the couch, but its too far for me to pull my body onto. So I have to do the inevitable, I have to pull one leg in at a time. With a heavy and ho I manage to get my fat butt and belly thru the window (thank the Lord there were no cameras around!). I go up the stairs and open the door and Megan in her 2yr old voice says "I DID IT!!" i look at her and dryly reply- "No, I did it"
We leave. All goes well. A lot of walking, but still a good time.
I get home- Megan had let the dogs out of the bedroom while I was stuffing myself thru the window and the dogs have strewn trash ALL over my kitchen floor and living room rug. egg shells, tomato sauce, caramel sauce, rotten eggplant- everything! I clean floor, on my knees- my mop broke. The stains are still in the rug. .....sigh.....
I try to nap, but the phone rings, i keep having to get up because of my teeny-tiny bladder. LOL! I sort of kind of get a nap, but not really.
DH calls and says hes leaving work and going to gym- since Im forbidden to go grocery shopping I ask what we are eating- he says "Im not eating, I have a weigh-in tomorrow" I say okay- what about Megan and me? Uhh, I dont know, isnt there food there? No, there isnt.
Sigh....he has no response. So i stuck like a college kid scrounging around in my kitchen to feed DD and me.
Really, inside, Im laughing.
i just love coming on here and seeing everyone's creations! Cheers me right up!!!!
