This and That...again

I have been remiss. I promised my friend Natalie I would make sure there is a post for her to read every morning for the next week while she finishes her job and begins her awesome season of being a stay at home mom. I remember being in a place where I was burned out and ready to leave my place of work. Its tough not only if there isn't an end in sight but even tougher to stay engaged when you are only days away from the end. Natalie I won't fail you again! ;)

I am very aware of how blessed I am to be able to stay home with Ms. Wiggles. I know financially this is just not possible for a lot of moms. I talked to my SIL, Julie last night and as we both love blogging, it would be so awesome to be payed to blog. I know Julie wants more than anything to be home with her children and that would just be an awesome way to be able to do something she loves and get paid to do it and it all pretty much is centered around her family. I've always dreamed of being a writer, so I'm so there on that.

One aspect that I am pretty jealous of working moms is they get a lot more adult conversation than I do. It is amazing how with Ms. Wiggles around we revert to say a lot of our words in baby talk. What I wouldn't give for a good adult discussion in theology, politics, psychology, sociology, the middle east, what super power would be the coolest to have. I am looking in to joining a gym with daycare but so far they all are way out of what we could afford. Our church doesn't have MOPS but then again a lot of churches do so I could just go there so thats my bad for not doing that. Anyway, my baby girl is the most amazing person ever put on the face of the earth but well, you know, she smiles with her whole body when I talk so I guess that is pretty awesome communication. Good thing for blogging.

I want that Mary Poppins super power. You know the one where she sings "Just a Spoonfull of Sugar" and everything cleans up. Ah heck, while we are at it I would also like that stretching power that the mom on The Incredibles has so I can stretch my big (fill in the blank) into a size 5. HAHAHA

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
