Because I sure can’t!
The other day Breanne asked me what country we live in (which sort of astounded me in the first place…), and I told her we live in the United States of America. She replied with “Oh, like in the pledge!” I said that was right, and asked her if she [...]

So this is what happens when we try to take a good picture of the girls in their new Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve:

And a funny little video of Janey (you can hear her talking here, though it was too loud in the room for me to understand much of what she was saying).

So here are the girls’ new beds–they LOVE them, and I really like how they turned out, too. I wish there was more room in their bedroom, but for now, this will have to do.
Breanne’s bed:
and Janey’s bed (as modeled by Janey):
And to show how much Janey is like her dad:
When I [...]

The felt playhouse is complete! Well, actually, I still need to sew one piece of velcro onto a piece of spinach, and make some birds for the birdhouse, but other than that, it is done. Yes, I know it is 2:00 am, but I had to post the pics for you, because I’m [...]

This is mostly so my sister-in-law can steal these pictures, but isn’t my new niece pretty? And smiling at just 5 days old… so cute!
Meet baby Grace:

The first parts of my Christmas projects are complete! For Christmas this year, the girls are getting new beds–the baby will need the crib in a few months, so to prep, Janey will be moving up to Breanne’s toddler bed (can’t believe she’s old enough for that yet! Makes me a little bit [...]

So today I heard back from my dr’s office on my glucose test last week–turns out my glucose level is great! which is always comforting to hear (especially since they said they wouldn’t call me unless my levels were bad, otherwise they’d wait until my next appointment to discuss them). So why the call, [...]

I originally started this as a comment on the last post, but when it started to get too lengthy, I just decided to put it on the blog as an actual post–hopefully it will encourage some of you. So no new pictures yet, but soon, I promise. This one is [...]

How all of these (plus some more embellishments)…
add up to create one of these…
I’ve been working on this, along with several other sewing projects, a whole lot lately, especially at night, which is why I haven’t been blogging lately. I hope to start posting finished projects soon… Janey’s blanket is done, Breanne’s just needs [...]

Generally speaking, Breanne gets up before me. And when she does, she usually just plays on the computer until I get up (maybe half an hour later or so). Occasionally, Janey wakes up before me, too, and Cory will get her out of her crib. Usually at this point I have to [...]
