I'm going to be redoing this space in the coming weeks to accommodate our life as of late.

i dont really know how to talk about my dad's suicide. most people dont really want me to, it is too hard for them to sit and listen without crawling out of their skin as i talk. i watch it happen as it comes up lightly in conversation and as i go deeper they withdraw. recoil. i can see them trying to stay there, maybe trying to think of something better, something to say to me. but its the same

i feel like my life is total chaos most of the time. like, i'm just making it up as i go along, why are there no guide books to this shit? i would really love a training manual about now on how to keep my life in order and running smoothly. i want to start making soap, i want to sew more, i want to parent better, i want to be a better wife, which includes keeping the house cleaner, which eats

I have the WORST luck with technology. Sometimes all I have to do is walk by a computer to get it to crash. My hard drive for my laptop mysteriously gave out last night as i was getting ready to post here and I had to wait until this morning for Craig to look at it. All he had to do to get it to work was turn it back on. Seriously, I spent almost 2 hours last night trying to get the thing to

How is it that a 14 month old can do so much damage to my living space within the span of 15 minutes? How is it even possible that this little 20lb, 26" baby could have enough strength and motivation to completely and i mean COMPLETELY take everything out of every cupboard and drawer within her tiny reach? And how is it that less than 15 minutes of work for her turns into 3-4 hours of work for me

she looks so chub in this picture! i love it! Zoey has TEETH! Finally after a long road of thinking she was teething since she was 3 months old, she delivered! Her two bottom teeth broke through last week after several sleepless nights and a low grade fever. I'm happy we dont have to cut them out with razorblades or anything! (we were getting desperate!) She also has started asking for bananas

i've been having a hard time keeping up with life lately. i hear thats normal when pregnant while taking care of a 1 year old.i'm starting to get those panicky nesting urges but its still too far out to do anything i really want to do. like wash all the baby clothes and teeny tiny diapers. i'll just have to wash them all again if i do it now. maybe i'll sort everything and that will help the itch

sorry for forgetting about you guys, all what, 4 people who read this.zoey has had some big milestones the past few days, she is now taking bitty baby steps and can walk half way across a room all by herself! she is getting to be such a big girl, super idependent.she has also learned how to close doors, so now she closes herself into whatever room she is in and wont let us in, she finds this

i have tried to write a post 5 times now, and keep drawing a blank.all i can think about is getting this stupid room switch done and moving on to painting zoey's playroom. and i have a gazillion things on my to do list, none of which are getting done and zoey is going through another one of those "cant sleep without mommy" phases, which is sweet in a way, but really hard because i cant get

While i really really love to buy fabric, and patterns, and download patterns, and buy more fabric, i really really HATE to cut the patterns out of the fabric.it gets me every time.and so..... my poor little sewing machine just sits there, with neat little stacks of untouched fabric and unopened patterns all around it.someday i am really going to have to get over this.

for some reason, when company comes over, it really throws off my whole rhythm and i dont end up doing what i normally do.so, there has been some really cute stuff going on with zoey, like she ate a bunch of homemade blueberry muffins and was purple from head to toe, and i made yummy cupcakes for my step-dads birthday.but i have forgotten to take any pictures.boo.oh, i did get this one last night.

I love to be the last one to bed at night, i am SO not a morning person, so this is when i get my peace and can catch up on my ME time.Yes, some days this moment is all that gets me through it.Zoey is running full blast while pushing bins all day now, she is like a little wind up toy and gets stuck in all the corners and against the walls where i have to spin her around so she can just get stuck

Since Zoey was born, my sewing room has become the storage/trash/too lazy to find a spot room. I have finally started tackling it today. i should have taken a before picture, but to tell you the truth, i am too embarrased.lets just say, you couldnt see the floor, let alone the custom work table my wonderful husband made for me.i'll take some progress shots so you can help encourage me to finish

So, zoey, at 8 months, has figured out how to walk while pushing my yarn bin all around the house.she gets SO excited! but now she thinks she can do this with everything and faceplants a lot more than she used to.oh how i wish she was still just determined on crawling, still lots of tears, but it was much less dangerous.i may have a heart attack before the week is through.

this morning was star wars episode V, empire strikes back. i usually give the boppy as an option to lay on but she usually just rolls away and plays with her toys, the movie was a big hit this morning i guess! she sat like that for 20 minutes!

So Zoey has had some big developments on the crawling front the last few days, she still prefers to army crawl, but she now gets into the normal crawl stance a lot and rocks back and forth.She is really efficient at using the belly crawl to get pretty much all over the house, i have to keep one eye glued to her at all times.She has also started throwing "mini tantrums", along with learning to

Zoey is 3 months now, this is what has been going on the last 3 weeks.she can now grab things with one hand pretty well, but since she started rolling over she has not wanted to grab things anymore. i guess that happens, she is working so hard on perfecting rolling over that she doesnt want to do anything else! she got her daddy's focus i guess!she rolls front to back and back to front now, she

Zoey just fell back to sleep and left me now totally awake and unable to go back to sleep after a whopping 2 hours of sleep last night.i have a feeling that she will not go back to sleep if i take her out of the wrap too so looks like i'm up for a while.i know that very soon i will look back and miss these moments, right?she is totally cute right now at least, all snuggly on my chest.i can take a

So i got mild/moderate food poisoning late last night and let me tell you, it is no fun taking care of a fussy stuffed up baby when you feel like all your internal organs may come flying out of your mouth any second.i finally feel well enough to have her in the wrap so she is more comfortable, but most of the day i had to have her in the vibro-bouncy chair thing. i hated having to put her in

I don't update on here much 'cuz I don't think anyone reads it, but apparently I have a few readers, they just can't/don't comment on my posts. So sorry all for not updating more, I will be more vigilant, especially since Zoey is growing so fast!I cant get my pictures off the memory card right now so I will have to put up new pictures later, but I will give a word update for now.Zoey is 6 weeks

how the hell did that happen? i haven't been on here longer than i thought, time has slipped away lately between crazy insomnia inspired nesting and catnaps to recover. i haven't taken a belly picture in forever, always putting it off for tomorrow when i am going to clean the bedroom mirror. i guess i have to get my birth supplies all ready as well and the bed made up for the birth.we got the

so,siobhan made an entry about her kitties and they happen to be in bags.my cats LOVE bags of any kind and will hide in them to ambush anything that walks across their path.unfortunately, this also means that at times i have found them in trash bags or if i go to the bathroom while putting away groceries they end up hanging out with the food, usually at the foods expense.anyway, here are a few

i got the house clean, then i made it dirty all over again.oh well, i have to just come to terms with the fact that my house will most likely never be in the state it was ever again. with the shop opening and the baby coming in 2 months, i doubt this place will ever be spotless again.the floor is going well at the shop they got the whole lower level done now, next they have to clean off the whole

alas, the house has won in my struggle with it to keep it clean. it looks like a tornado launched through here right after an earth quake hit.we switched the bedrooms last week, so i never fully recovered from that. this is what i want to get done today, lets see what happens!dishes- unload and reload dishwasher (sounds easy, but trying to put glasses on a 5'10" shelf when you are 5' and 7 months

sorry i havent been updating, i got blindsided last week with hearing that a good friend got hit by a car while riding his bike home. spent 2 days sitting on the ICU floor, he passed away on saturday.having a hard time processing the loss, being pregnant and losing a friend is not a good combo.so, yeah... theres an update for you, still working on the shop, its getting close.sorry to everyone if

So i've been making these invitations, first there was going to be like 20, no problem right?i mean, they are pretty labor intensive, i have to cut them, sew them, iron on the invite, pin them, make rsvp card, package and send them.but 20 i could do. the count is now up to 50, and still rolling.yeah, fun.maybe some day i'll be able to leave my sewing room!have to finish making dinnergood night!
