I have been so busy doing lots of little things that nothing is truly getting done. I thought Christmas was suppose to be fun, well i guess it was until i started  having  that hurry up and get it done feeling. The Great news is that I have a new sewing machine. It sews so good that it has taken me a week to get use to it. But after tonight it should be smooth sailing on those presents. A big THANK YOU to my understanding husband(he figures its cheep therapy).


My husband has gone to work againe, little lou-lou was sad all day she is so lost with out her dad.


I finally got a MM-MA-MA out of Pemmie, i was so excited  and my reaction lead to MMaMmmmmmaaamamamam!  Now What ada-da-dada?

My sweet Bridie is still pretty impressed with herself  for being so good at the dentist, I think that she did better than i do. Hopefully pulling that extra tooth will straighten thing out.

This was about all the snow we got, just enough to dust the roof tops. My girls stayed up all night, to say the least they were disappointed.

Sunny with a chance of snow

    My house is clean there is not a stitch of clothing that is not washed, my floors are sparkling, the dishes are done, toys are put away, my husband is home!!! Yeah!!    I have only one problem, my sewing machine is not working so good and my embroidery/sewing  machines touch screen is out of whack.
I am down to hand sewing and light duty on the machine so its dolls and pattern cutting for the weekend.
I have made some progress on a doll that started sometime ago i will post a pic tomorrow.  I think i finally painted a set of eyes that look like what i intended. I am quite proud of myself.

 I am determined to get Christmas present making completed, i promised lou-lou she could wrap the presents( this is going to be fun) she ask me everyday if its time.

   The local weather man says that it may snow(lol).  This means that the ground will be a giant muddy slushy and though it will be cold and wet , birdie will try to make a snow angel and end up a happy smiling, cold wet, dirty mess.    If i close my eyes I can almost conjure up that feeling .......you know..... that feeling of amazement with the world, the feeling of eminence excitement you get when you experience something you thought you never would.  Birdie wakes up with that feeling every morning, i can see it in her eyes. This is how she will bear the cold wet mud just to say she made a snow angel. And i will let her because i know that feeling too. After all its how you know your truly alive.

   time to get to work.

Many Things

So much has been going on that i don't know where to begin.
The trip to Texas went well, we did not get to visit with nana pat pat very much but we will try to see her againe.
Here are some pic I took at the gardens where my mom volunteers, the cold weather has spared many of the flowering plants, how wonderful for me.

I  have been busy with the kiddos but i managed to finish a great bag. The fabric is nice and sturdy it sews well and has a fun print. I think i will get a few more pieces. I found it at a little known outlet here in town she has lots of fabulous prints in this great fabric.

I finally ordered  the fabric i have been pining for- Good Folks Anne Marie Horner  for Free Spirit-- it so me , i have a plan for a wonderfully fun bag. I can't wait to get started on it.

My super husband put up our Christmas lights and the plan is that tomorrow i will put up the tree. This means that i have to clean the living room and rearrange the furniture which will require my three girlys to cooperate, any body wont to take bets on how long this will take?.... I will post pic when it is all done.
