Weekend Coverage

So, this weekend I was taking a break from sewing "major projects" by sewing "not so major projects".

I have decided that sewing a bag or DiapeRoo is therapy for me. It is something that takes a little time but I can be meticulous and see a beautiful end in less than 2 hours. Or if I want, I can make it last a few days. The fabric always looks cute and never talks back and never cries or whines.

So, here are a few recent pieces of therapy:

Large Tote with inside pockets - "Conservative with Red"

Medium Handbag - "Witches"

Medium Handbag - "Sarah's Blue Print"

this is what 25 DiapeRoo's look like....that is how many I did on Saturday.

Most Difficult Bag of My Life...and I am making 2

I just finished the Cutest, and most difficult bag of my life!

Well, I guess it was not really that hard just extremely time consuming. And this one if for my friend Julie!

It is way worth the time though. It will be indestructible and perfect for all the crap you carry around as a Mom. Plus all my MONEY...cuz I am loaded with that too...


My imaginary Money Tree!

 I just like to pretend that I have no money so that I can fit in.....hahahahahahaha!

Endry's Favorite Animal : Cats

Endry loves cats....he doesn't really say the word "cat" yet though, it still just comes out as a high pitched whine. Grndma Nae Nae brought back a fun book about cats from Nevada. Boy does he love it. It is the first book he picks up in the morning after he eats.

After getting him dressed one morning I went to put some clothes on myself and went back into his room and found that he had climbed up into the chair and started reading the book all by himself. :)

Birthday Prep: 2011

So, I have begun preparing for my birthday this year with two things in mind:

1. That I am turning 30 and will no longer be a "spring chicken"

                             AND

2. I want to look pretty Dang Good that day!!

First step in fulfilling item number 2 is find a cute outfit. I went to Old Navy on Monday and found a super cute button down shirt that has a bold flower print on it (that I will wear under a cardigan) and some fun "birthday" socks (ok, so they really say Happy Holidays...but you can really only see the word Happy...so I am pretending. Hey, they were only $1).

Now we are on to the hair. Today I went to Brock at Allure to get my hair cut. He did a wonderful job! I love that he listens to what I say I want and he not only makes sure that I get it but that (more importantly) it looks GOOD on ME!! So, here is a preview of my hair.



I also just finished a new DiapeRoo for myself.



Next birthday task will be shopping in Lawrence with my girl Julie, and getting some super cute clothes and fabric to make myself a new diaper bag/purse for spring.

I am soooo excited!!!!
