Saturday

Okay.
SO today has been busy.
Between getting three kids out of the door for dance, buying new tap shoes for Julia, making Sweet Potato Souffle for Sunday's 95th Bday Party for Opa, making lunch, feeding the kids, sewing a 'woodsy' costume for Julia to wear for fun, preparing a bright shirt for sewing another day, sitting on the porch swing reading my bible and Doc. Suess to Julia, trimming our chia pet for our first harvest of sprouts for sandwiches, putting kids down for naps, changing poopy diapers, calming attitudes when siblings don't see eye to eye, breathing deeply to prevent outbursts (of my own) when the two year old is SO SO WHINEY, trying to laugh instead of scream when the two year old (yes him again!! haha) freaks out because a certain door on a toy won't close all the way (he is very particular about doors closing....aayiyi!!), .....well between all these things...all these things occurred. so there you have it.

I love these shots of J with her new Bow and Arrow that she loves. i made the quiver out of real deer hide that Opa shot. And that tunic is the 'woodsy' outfit i made today. i adapted a fleece-hoodie pattern. it worked well, even though it is meant for stretchy fabric. i just took that into account when sewing certain parts and cutting the fabric out.

speaking of fabric.. the messy picture of boxes and bags of fabric is my sewing corner. man.... my house will never be clean !!! :)

well.
off to celebrate a bday in w-town. must pack the bags and get the greek salad out of the fridge.

love to all.
