Post-Halloween Party

I am not a fan of Halloween. It is okay, but it isn't my favorite holiday. Truth be told, I prefer a good gift-giving holiday anytime. We were invited to two parties this year. Only the kids dressed for the first one. Here is my costume for the second.

It was my Grandmother's Raggedy Ann costume. Here is a photo of her in it.

Clapotis Update

with all the sickness and then niece watching, I am WAY behind on my mother's birthday gift. Yes, her birthday is in two days, and she is leaving on a cruise. I HAVE to have it done by tomorrow if I want her to have it by her birthday.

So, what do you think? Not a chance, huh!

I think I'm in LOVE

Ahhhh...we finally bought an umbrella clothesline. Our HOA is not very supportive of this environmental endeavor. Hopefully a letter is not forthcoming. If so, they may get an earful. How can anyone not use a clothesline?? Now to figure out how to avoid crunchy clothes.

Nothing like the last minute

We celebrated Halloween today with skeleton costumes and a run through the neighborhood. Aine wore a costume handed down by a friend, but we had to improvise a bit for Eamon. He had a skeleton shirt already. We bought black sweatpants and true to form I painted them this afternoon. I also decided at 4pm that Aine needed a new bag for her candy. Eamon has used an embroidered one with Frankenstein's monster on it. So under her careful direction, I sewed a quick bag from felt with a moon and bat. We made it dressed with make-up and out the door for plenty of Halloween fun.

Breast is Best

Almost three months

Sorry for the LLLOOOOONNNNNGGGG hiatus. I have quite a few works in progress right now. My biggest has slowed me down exponentially. I am currently pregnant, so I have been tired. As soon as the first trimester fog started to lift, I became sick. Hopefully that fog will pass soon. Right now I have a second sock for Dave on the needles and a birthday surprise. I have a lot of projects in the plan - just looking for time and energy.

Amazing

The first quote in this video is my all-time favorite. It speaks volumes to me.
