Can I Sew and Listen at the same time?

OK- before I answer that question at all, let me emphasize that I can't sew. A simple line or square is all I can do! And if you were to look closely at my work, you would notice the lines are always crooked! Now, to answer the above question- No!!! Here is what happened-

I was sewing and Savanah asked me a question, so I turned to look at her, while still sewing, and this is what happened!







I must have sucked my finger up. Because all I know is my thumb had throbbing pain, I looked down at it and saw the needle that had broken off protruding from one side of my thumb (in the back) to the other! Savanah quickly screamed (loudly I might add) "Don't touch me, I am calling 911!" I had to reassure her that I was OK and that 911 wasn't necessary. But she continued to say "get away from me.." She ran and got me a band aid so I could pull it out. I knew it would bleed a lot and it did too!! Man that really creeped Savanah out- then she was really saying "Don't touch me!" (You would think she considered me some form of alien life form the way she reacted)

So word to the wise:

IF YOU CAN"T SEW THAT GREAT, DON"T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE MACHINE!!!

Which Austen Heroine are you?

You are Emma Woodhouse of Emma! You like being the queen of your social circle (small and provincial as it may be), and feel it's your duty to help those less influential than you. You often meddle in the affairs of others, though you do it with a pure heart. You are often deluded in your flights of fancy, but your good intentions and creative spirit make you someone anyone could like.

Do you agree or disagree?

Girl's Room...

So here is the chair I purchased for $15 at the DI. Normally I wouldn't pay that much (not like it is a lot, but I am a cheap skate) but since it is all leather and vintage I decided that it would be O.K.


All I had to do with this one, is paint the legs white and then sand them down a little bit to give them that shabby chic feel. And then I just added pillows for color. I am excited to have a place to sit in the girl's room to read to them!! I want to find a basket( -go figure! I am sure you never would have guessed that with my basket fetish-ha) and put it under the chair with the girl's favorite books in it! I am going to do a blog really soon of the before and after of the girls room- so watch for it!

Here is the finished project---(My camera makes it look dark green, but you can tell in the above pic that is is more lime!)

A Morning At Canyon Park

It has been so nice here this whole week. Nice enough for capri's and shorts! Friday was 67 degrees and yesterday was just as warm. Since Beau has been "On-call" for the last two and a half weeks, the kids haven't got to do much. So it was a perfect day for me to take a drive up the mountain, and then let the kids play at the park!


They had so much fun! Caleb and Savanah have almost mastered the monkey bars! They didn't give up the whole time and kept trying. Kennedy is so big now. She climbs all over the playground and is completely fearless! It was so nice to just be outside and enjoy the park.

We also drove up to our "favorite spot." It is just up the canyon a little ways and the kids love to climb the trees and hike. We had a Mcdonalds Happy Meal picnic. (It has been awhile since I bought them a happy meal, but since we took them to see Spiderwick Chronicles they wanted the eye patch to see the goblins and the Brownies. And they have kept themselves busy with those spy glasses!)







I am keeping my fingers crossed for even warmer weather!
