Projects from last week.........

I made this tote bag for MYSELF. I am keeping it. No you can't have it. I have been saving this fabric for 2 years and I finally got the courage to cut into it, so I am keeping it.

This cute little clutch/wristlet I made for my dear, dear sister for her 30th birthday. Happy Birthday Alyssa! (More on that below, heh, heh.)

This is Alyssa dancing with some random strange man at the piano bar. She pointed to him from across the room and commanded him to dance with her. He was happy to oblige as you can see.

She later went on to tie for first place in a "bootie shaking" contest. You go girl!

I think its the dip tube

We have been trying for the last 2 weeks to diagnose our water heater problems. First it was the thermostat, then he thought it was the dip tube (?) then the element. Still lukewarm water and a 2 minute shower for one lucky family member. PJ dreams of a half hour shower in which he exits the bathroom resembling a lobster. Oh if only dreams came true........

Some Craftiness

The latest card club selection...........

My favorite little handbag. (Notice it matches my apron. I try not to wear them together:)

They tease me..........

Ellis, "Mom, I hate the gray and white and brown and a horse on it shirt. I hate the tags on it, because they tease me."

Notice none of the colors he listed was "orange."

Little Monsters

These crazy little monsters were posing for me at Thanksgiving (I know its been a while since I've posted.) They were crawling along the floor, making growling sounds.

I asked them to act like sweet little boys for a picture and this is what they did..................

Do'n a Little Sew'n

What to do on a Wednesday off? Sew a little pink tote bag!

I know, I am a cruel woman who makes my son model a frilly apron for a picture. At least I cut his head off so you wouldn't know it was him. (Except for the fact that I told you!) I made this one from a tutorial from Modest Maven's website.

Fun with Photoshop
