week re-cap

Warning: This is a public service lecture for all the other blog fans out in blog land.

If you talk about a show you participating in, then keep us hanging not giving us the scoop, good, bad or otherwise after the show, well its just plain rude. I love to hear about shows and need photos and the scoop right away, not days later or not at all. Don't do that to us.

I think I'm done.

It was a busy week but nothing major.
Monday our bus scraped the neighbors mailboxes then got stuck. I sent the kids inside to clean their rooms. 45 mins later the salt truck came, salted and scraped and got the bus moving so I sent two very disappointed children off to school.

My son had his orchestra concert Tuesday eve. It was beautiful. Our school has an amazing music program and it shows. So while I'm there this 2 year old gave me an extremely wet cough right in the face. I felt it hit my lip. I knew at that moment I was doomed.

Last night my daughter had her orchestra concert and I had to keep throat lozenges in my pocket so my dry throat cough wouldn't be a distraction to the beautiful music. Yep, I'm sick.

So I had one of those fever filled, floating between sleep and awake weird dream nights. After I got the fam up and out,I then took a 2 hour nap this morning. This is the most fascinating blog ever, talking about naps.

I forced myself awake.
I had let the chickens out for their morning goodies, which was the last thing I wanted to do at the time. But now I'm feeling a tad better and want to show you what I did yesterday.

I made my born in August niece, a chewy, squishy bunny out of the softest (new but washed) sock. I stitched on the eyes so no choking hazard . It kind of looks like a doggie chew toy, but it is sooooo soft. She is also their 3rd daughter so they don't need any practical stuff.

My other niece likes her dolls just to wear diapers so I made some cloth with Velcro ones for her.

I also made her a monster out of a toe sock. She looked naked so I made her...

a too too.

I also made personalized gift bags for their gifts. The red stripe was my score from value world.

I made a few more gift bags to add to our stash. I used fabrics that I had purchased at garage sales or was given to me. I plan to have enough some day to never buy Christmas wrap again.

I think I may need to go lay down again. Wishing you all a great weekend.
