Wee-Ones Wednesday: Hot Hot Heat!

Boy, was it hot last weekend. This is what happened when the girls helped Dan give the dogs a bath. I think everyone was just a little happier after!

Sew Crafty Saturday: Sweet Skirts

New outfits to be modeled soon...

Fabulous Find Friday: Pick Your Plum

Have you heard of Pick Your Plum? It's like Groupon but for crafters. I already made my first purchase this week. They have amazing deals on supplies and crafty goodies. I have to thank my friend Lisa for this fabulous find. You can sign up by going to their website above and clicking on "Who We Are." I love it, and so will you! You're welcome!

Misc. Monday: First Day Back

My first day of kindergarten was great! Karen and I have a very lively bunch. ;) That said, I was pretty exhausted when I got home and decided to visit the Internet to decompress a bit. I guess I should have known a quiet house can never be good because sweet Iris walked up to me and proudly said, "Mama, I got a stamp all by myself." That she did! So much for taking it easy, maybe tomorrow...

Sew Crafty Saturday: Back to School

Have you noticed that I missed a few postings lately? Last week was crazy! I'm back at work, bringing class stuff home to do, while trying to get some laundry done, pick up, and spend time with my family. Phew! I forgot how hard it is to be a working mom. That said, I spent this morning making french toast & little gifts for friends, reading, and changing out the console table. It's been a nice, quiet Saturday and we couldn't be happier!

*All the printables can be found on my pinterest boards.

Misc. Monday: So Long, Summer!

It was a wonderful summer.
Can't believe I go back to work tomorrow.  
I will sure miss these faces!

Sew Crafty Saturday: Like New

We reupholstered these chairs last summer.
It's surprising how dirty something can get in a year.
Good thing we bought a pneumatic staple gun.
Sure we (Dan) will have to do it again next summer. Till then, I will enjoy the fresh, newness of blue...

Fabulous Find Friday: Read On!

found at simple as that.

Oh my! Lilly can't read yet, but when she can, I am so printing out this reading log. It is about the cutest thing I've stumbled across in the blogging world in awhile. Seriously!

Wee-Ones Wednesday: She Did It!

We needed to do it. We put it off all summer. So the same day I finished my quilt, we told Iris the pacifier fairy was coming to take her wubby (as she likes to call it) away to give it to all the new babies. She is a big girl now. Hooray! Oh, there were tears. She said she was a baby. She said the fairy "not have it." We told her the fairy would leave her a new toy for being such a brave girl. She was quiet for a moment, then "o-tay." She was in. It's been four days. She still talks about the fairy, but does not ask for her wubby. How I love her!

Sew Crafty Saturday: I Did It!

With one week of summer left, I finished the quilt today, using the bright pink color that most of you liked the best. I seem to average a quilt a summer. There are flaws all over it, but I think they make me love it even more. I was inspired by this mini quilt I saw over at Purl Bee, but mine is lap size. What would I do with a mini quilt? Now I can't wait for winter, so I can curl up under my new quilt with a good book. Oh, I feel so proud!

Wee-Ones Wednesday: You Tell Me

A month ago Iris was all about the potty. Every time Lilly went, she wanted to go. She was so interested, I wound up taking out the training one way before I was planning to. She went both #1 and #2, and seemed to get it. Fast forward to two weeks ago, and Iris refuses to go on the potty. When I ask her why, she says, "I'm scared." Really? What's that all about? She's not even two and half, so I know there's lots of time. I just don't get why her attitude changed so drastically...who knows?
