Yesterday I had great intentions, BUT a greater force decided to test me and I gave up.  Decided to read a Ann Hazelwood book instead.  I was making a messenger bag and I ended up sewing it together was the first of mistakes.  I sewed it together UPSIDE DOWN!  So I ripped it apart andContinue reading “Destroy what I touched Day”

I am happy to say I now have my routine back.  The life of One Creative Family has been turned upside down since April.  And I had nothing that looked like a routine and I hate this.  I am a very organized, routine, oriented person.  Now that this is looking to be the norm forContinue reading “My Routine”

I was looking thru Facebook last night and one post caught my eye.  “Elephant stolen”.  I thought this was so funny on many levels.  How do you steal an elephant?  If you got close enough to an elephant how would you get out of the area with an elephant? What would you take it in? Continue reading “Funny Posts”

This last week we have had pre fall weather and it has been wonderful.  Today Summer returns and will be in the upper 90’s.  The rain we’ve had last week has caused the grass to shoot up.  It has gone from a dry crunchy brown to a beautiful soft green, so I won’t complain mowing.Continue reading “Still Summer?”

Today I didn’t get a whole lot of sewing done.  Ms. Destiny (3 yr old) spent the night last night.  I was woken up at 4am with a little sweet face inches from mine saying, “It’s time to play with Playdough”. I told her is was still night time and she grins, gets out ofContinue reading “Little sewing today”
