so much to say!

I feel like everyday I have something exciting to talk about, then what happens I am not near the computer... so I completely forget about what my very important blog was going to be about!

Sooo, I will just talk about how grossed out I was on my walk down to my cafe here in the building. Not that it needs to be said.. but, if your clothes are too tight, do not wear them! So far today!!! This just TODAY! I have been an older woman, with long gray hair wearing white capris and a BLACK thong! Seriously! I couldn't help but notice because she was like 7 feet tall and my face was well.. you get the idea, I am a shorty. Then, just now I saw a man dressed very nice, very, very nice, however, his pants were so tight, he had a muffin top! So unnecessary!

I will admit that there have been times when I have needed to wiggle myself into an outfit or two especially since I have had my child. But these have been some pretty extreme cases, never would I wear these inappropriate outfits into my work place!

I might have a nightmare tonight about white capri's! So, there I got it off of my chest, I feel a etsy bit better.

what is on your mind?

So, I have been thinking for a few days now about the next "holiday" that is around the corner. Mother's day. What are you getting your mom or Mil for this extra special day?

Leave me a comment you will more than likely help someone out who is going to be passing through. And besides, I need some tips! My issue is my mil has everything! At least from the outsider looking in. And she is an extra special mil, so something that has no thought put into just simply won't do.

stunted growth, maybe too much coffee?

So it appears that Emma has stopped growing for the time being.... In fact it appears that her cloths are actually starting to get bigger! She is starting to slim down a bit which is nice, because that means she can wear her current cloths for a bit longer, YAY!

So in the mean time she is starting to need some more summery clothes. Rather than go out and spend money on clothes that I am afraid she will not fit into in two months, I pulled out some of her winter sweat pants and tops that are made out of lighter weight fabrics and started cutting! She had a couple of onzies that she has never worn so I cut the bottoms of and rounded the waistline on them and bonus, NEW t-shirts! Took her sweat pants and made some of them into capris and some of them into shorts. Capri's for those chili (ish) days that we occasionally experience.

I have been rather inspired to create new things out of old things sense my visit with Sarah and my aunt last week. Between the two of them they shared loads of sewing knowledge! It was great to see them! I have made two pillows, and two yoga mat bags. One of the yoga mat bags I tried to make reversible... it is best to say that didn't turn out so well.... oh, well try, and try again! At least I have discovered that I LOVE to sew! One of my future projects is making a new doggie bed for Tilly & Yahoo.


Here is my yoga mat bag that I made for myself.
