Finished

Here is the skirt before and after... I made it from an old pair of jeans... It was fun and I stitched it all by hand... There is fabric in the back too... I started sewing it up yesturday and finished it this evening... I worked on it in between kids and household stuff...

Snowy thursday....

Our weather has been insane here... We have been having really nice weather I even wore open toed shoes yesturday and today it was cold and I woke up to snow on the ground... Insane, mother nature can't make up her mind it seems around here... I want the nice weather back....

Spent a good part of today working on a skirt... I took an old pair of jeans opened up the inner seam and played around with some fabric... I think I have it the way that I want it... I had to head to walmart to get some thread, I matched it to the thread that was used on the jeans all ready... So maybe after Rhianna goes to sleep I can start to stitch it up... I will be doing it by hand since ms. Rhianna messed around with my sewing machine and I cant get the tension right for some reason... I need to get my mom over here to see if she can get it right... I dont mind though, I like to sew by hand... Thats how I used to sew when I was little making barbie clothes...

I also picked up some new frames, I want to start putting family photo's together and start a wall for the family... So I got one collage frame and then I will work frames around that...

My mom had to have work done on the pipes here seems we had a hole in one of them and it was causing us to loose pressure and letting crap into the water... So for two days had brown water... I was so happy to be able to do dishes today, they have been piling up and tomorrow I finally can start doing laundry... I also want to figure out paint for my walls... We have been meaning to paint but since Rhianna "the budding artist" got a hold of a pen and taged the hallway and one kitchen wall we have to repaint now... I would like to do color but I am not sure what color to do... I was thinking of leaving the hall the off white color but the one kitchen wall that needs to be done I was thinking of doing that in a color... just not sure if it would look stupid? Oh well , I will have to think on it...

Hugs to all

Shrug

This is a pic of me in the lovely shrug Lana knitted up for me... Isnt it nice :)

Time flys

I can't believe its thursday all ready... Where did the week go... ? I have a doctors appointment tomorrow I still don't feel right since having Emma... There are things that feel different and I am still having cramps and my back has been so out of wack that I have been relying on the pain killers to get thru the day and I dont want to live like this... I am just afraid to go to the chiropracter but maybe this time will be different since he will be able to do more with me since I am not pregnant? Last time every time I had an adjustment I was down for days recovering from being stretched and manipulated... Going to run for now will post more later if I can...

Sunny Sunday

The weather was nice today... We got a late start due to me just being lazy and sleeping in and then taking my time getting ready... We went to walmart for a few things... We got some table lamps to put in the living room, now i need new curtains but i havent found anything i like yet... We also go Rhi a new matress for her toddler bed and put the other matress back in the crib for Emma... I did find a curtain for emma's room that i liked it was clearanced... We then got some mcdonalds for on the way home but took the long way home... I love their iced coffee...

I bought the holiday on dvd yesturday, its a cute movie... I also got some new beads and i want to make something but i cant make up my mind what i want to make... I just have this urge to create and i dont know what to do... Its driving me nuts... lol

Hubby and I have been cleaning things out since the weather has been so nice... Spring cleaning lol... If its nice tomorrow i am going to try and work on the front porch... i think i saw rain in the forcast though... Its so muddy here, it sucks cause i would like to take Rhi out for walks but it would be a mess and with me also trying to hold emma and chase after Rhi i know i would wind up on my ass... Oh well going to run and see if i can either create something or go to bed... It is after 1am lol...

Emma

Here's a pic of my smily little Emma... She is such a happy baby...

Playing around

Took Emma for a little walk today, over to my mom's... She wasnt home though... But it was nice to get out... Then 20 min later she came home and my nephew brought my mail over... He spent some time with emma... So all that snow we had is almost gone again... So this weekend i am going to try and clean up outside...

Took some time to play around with some beads... Love these goddess pendants... This is made with labradorite and garnet, two of my favorite stones to work with....

Well gotta run for now...

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

It's snowing... and not lightly either... I was so happy almost all the snow was gone and now we got more... And next week is supose to warm up again so we will have flood warnings again and this time could be bad because of all the stuff that melted earlier this week... I was so loving the nice weather... I have dresses and shoes that are itching to be worn and i cant cause of the crap on the ground...

Otherwise nothing major going on here... Been playing around with my sketch pads and drawing a lot... I ordered some new drawing markers too... I love micron markers, they come in all kinds of colors and different tip sizes... Was a little disappointed the maroon ones i wanted were out of stock and they dont back order where i got them from... Pearl paint... oh how i miss that store... I have only been to the small one on the island when i lived there but there is a huge one in the city i think its 2-3 floors of all kinds of art stuff...Its an artists dream store...

Well off to get another cup of coffee... Hugs and love to all...

Not so good start....

This morning started out with pain.... Migraine pain... I havent had one of those in a few months... I tried the ibuprofen but it didnt work i had to take the pain killers i had... So i spent most of my day in bed and most of it sleeping i was just so exhausted from it... Yesturday we did get a chance to go out, didnt find half of what we were looking for but i found goodies... Target had nursing bra's on clearance so i got a new white one and two tank tops with the nursing part in it... They are so cool... Its nice to be able to take the bra off... I got some art pens from michaels for drawing... expensive but they last a long time... Got some more of the glow bracelets too... Rhianna loves them... Emma does not like to shop or go in the car... Rhi was totally diff, the car put her to sleep... it seems to wake emma up... Very hard to shop when your baby wont stop crying and nothing makes her happy... oiy...

I am hoping my other packages show up this week, i am waiting for these shoes i have wanted for sometime to get here ... Heres a pic of them arent they cute... There are a few other little things coming but i cant wait for these to get here... I have some new dresses that these would look so nice with...

Well going to run, going to check on a friends blog to see how little aidan is doing, he was doing really well as of yesturday... His parents were going to see him and update... He was born early but he is a little fighter, keep him in your prayers...

It's cold outside....

It's 2 degree's here right now and its almost 1pm, dont think its going to warm up that much today... I had the water running last night so at least i still have hot and cold water today... I am glad i put the little weather chanel thing on my pc i can keep track of stuff coming in... It helps...

Havent been up to too much... We didnt do anything saturday, we just hung around the house... Sunday we went out to the mall and stores around there... We joined the sams club there, i have never been in one of those just been in a bj's , we have a memebership there too... Figured we could join this one too since neither one is in the same place... I was surprised at all the stuff sam's had... Little bit of everything... Even clothes...

I've been doing some doodling... been working on this goddess design... Its coming along nice, its been in my head for sometime... Think i will use it if i ever get my stuff on ebay to sell... It will be part of my logo lol... Just trying to figure out how to make it into a graphic so i can put it on things... My scanner isnt working right so i cant scan it... Maybe will have to try and figure it out... been thinking of getting a tablet but i am not sure what one to get, this way i could draw on my pc but also if i draw something in pencil i could trace it and put it on the pc... Lots of thoughts just not sure what to do...

Well Emma is awake and moving around so gotta run... Hugs to all...

My girls...

Here's a shot of Rhi and Emma hanging out in mommy's bed... Rhi is my little ham for the camera... lol

Charm bracelet

Well here it is... I had fun adding everything to it

TGIF

Not that this week has been all that bad... Few rough days with emma, seems she wanted to be attached to my breast 24/7... But we are doing good now... Had my 6 week check up at the doctor... Things are going fine... Rhianna did really good too, it was her two year check up... I was very proud of her... She didnt scream bloody murder when she saw the nurse either... Thats a good thing... My blood pressure went back to normal, i was happy to hear that... And my weight is still at 160... Woo Hoo.... now i just have to keep it there... I would still like to loose another 10-20 lbs but if i dont i can deal with this... I am still using the splenda sugar in things and drinking diet soda... I love diet coke and diet coke with lime... And i still drink my no sugar drinks too, walmart brand of crystal light... I love the cranberry drink... My only downfall right now is chocolate... I crave chocolate when i breastfeed i dont know why... Otherwise i have been playing around with jewelry stuff... I decided to do my own witchy charm bracelet and put what i want on it... I got all the charms on it now i am putting the crystal drops inbetween... I spent last night putting them on headpins and making them... I will snap a pic when i am done... The replacement parts for the crib finally came in so now hubby can finish putting that to gether and then we can get the rest of the room finished... I got some new shelves from joann's last week now i just have to find the stain to do them and have hubby hang those... I was also on ebay and found a book i was hoping to find... I had it when i was a kid and when i got older i gave it to the little boy i baby sat for, now that i have kids of my own i want the book and i found it on ebay, its a collection of fairy tales... I have the one with nursery rhymes and songs still and i found another one to go along with them... Rhianna has a nice collection of books going... I alway put books on the christmas list and hubbys mom works for a school so she gets some neat books too... Well i babbled long enough... Hugs to all...

Still Going....

The snow is still going... Not sure how much we are going to get... My crazy brother went down the hill in this crap and said its not that bad out... Hubby went down the hill after the plow came up and said the main road was covered and he skidded... I think my brother just went out to get away from his girlfriend and my mom most likely... His friend from long island is visiting...

Hubby took Rhi out in the snow to let her play... She didnt know what to make of it... I got some pictures of her out there in all her snow gear glory, lol... Its cold out there, its only 8 degrees here...

So I did a little bit of cleaning, put some laundry in... Will do dishes later... Didnt get to go to the store to get hubby a v-day card... So i printed stuff out from online... Rhi and I gave him valentine coupons, good for hugs, kisses, going out to eat, etc... He liked that... Hubby also go me a cute ring with hearts on it, one garnet one amethyst... Its both the girls birthstones, i love it... I'm weird like that... Oh and i got to watch the video from Rhi's bday of her and Muriel eating the cake, it was too funny, played it last night for hubby... I really need to use the video camera more that his dad got us...

Well I should run and do a few more things... Hugs and love to all on this snowy Valentine's day...
