Weekly Wednesday Craft #1

meet my newest obsession.
it was this weeks crafty project.
(I switched after I posted the blue thing- which is next weeks now)

it's my piano.
it's lime green.
i did it all by my lonesome.
it looks awesome.
i love it.
i love it so much that i sit in the shop looking at it.
it's not dry enough to move back into my house yet.
but i love it so much i have to share it with you
blue painters tape, and missing handle and all.

it's okay to be jealous of me.
i'm jealous of me.

say hello to this weeks crafty project!!
granted, this is just a sneak peak,
but you get the idea.
right?

it's going to be AWESOME.

Oh baby,

This poor guy is sick.

He's got an intestinal virus
( which I took to mean the "flu" basically)
and a double ear infection.

If anybody has kids I'm pretty sure that you know how heartbreaking it is to watch your little one cry and cry and run fevers, and have cold sweats and throw up. It's awful!! His fever hasn't come below 99 degrees for TWO days now. It basically lingers around the 101 mark.

Good for me, I have two darling friends. Kim and Greg came over last night to see how we were doing. Mostly for Max, but I've been without a husband and week and will be until Saturday. Anyways, they came over to check on us and to remind me of a pretty important principle I hadn't forgot, but wasn't focusing on it like I should.

Kim: "How've you been today?"

Me: "Fine, but I haven't done anything productive today."

Kim: "Yes you have, you were a mother today."

I know it sounds like a silly little conversation, but believe you me. Instead of worrying about if the dishes get done, or the laundry gets folded, I'm going to sit here, in my pjs, and cuddle my little baby. We're going to watch movies and it's going to be divine. Except it would be better if his fever would break. Poor thing.

I'm glad I have the power of prayer in my life today, and I'm glad Kim is so in tune with the things I need to hear. But, then again, it's probably because she loves him too.

New August Resolution

Alright, so I've been reading all of those lovely crafty blogs that I follow, and am inspired. I can't believe it's been this long since I've made anything and I'm a little sad about it. So I've come up with a New August Resolution!


1.) Take Maxi outside to a park or something every week. And I didn't want "outside" to include where I live...like an actual park, or the aquatic center or something.



2.) Make something new every week an then blog about it.



3.) Try to refrain from sweets, pop, or anything that is going to keep me from looking how I want to.


So I guess we'll see how August goes and then we'll see what my goals are for September!!


Happy Living!!!
