Why you shouldn't (ver.6)

get a dog the same color as your carpet...they get stepped on A LOT! It's great camo for him when he's doing something naughty though.

mmm...mmmmm...mmmm....delicious!

My lifelong friend, Jennifer (she's the blond), recently took a trip to China and Japan. Lucky duck. I'm a lucky duck in that I benefited from her trip in the form of delicious fabric. Isn't she the bestest?!? Just look at my loot...

A ton of fat quarters and some Kawaii buttons...

Yards of adorable fabric plus 4 yards of the cherry print destined to be a skirt and handbag for me! It's a gorgeous twill.

and this adorable Hello Kitty crochet purse kit. Baby loves it and keeps saying, "you gonna make it for me, right??? huh, right? RIGHT?"

I purchased these Japanese pattern books about a month ago in the hopes of making Baby some new outfits. Now that I have the perfect fabric I'm going to get planning and stitching. I'll keep you posted on what I make.

Now, I'm off to get ready for the Boyer clan to arrive. Krista, one of my bff's, is bringing her 5 for the weekend. Just a lazy weekend to chat, laugh and have a few margaritas.

so little time...so many things

Hi blogworld. Sorry to be gone so long. Summer is flying by and I can hardly catch my breath. Here's a review of the last two weeks in pictures...

Jumps attempted...

cookies eaten...

craft show items sewn...

Cousin Camp '08 accomplished and children returned to families...

cantering accomplished...

beaches combed w/ Grandma...

Soccer balls chased...

and recovered...

trail rides taken...

Plus colts, puppies and kittens to be adored!

Hoping things will slow down a bit by fall so I can pick up blogging regularly. I have much fabric to share (some awesome stuff direct from Japan via one very considerate lifelong friend...Thanks Jen!)

Why you shouldn't... (ver. 5)

let children under 5 take long early evening naps in your bed ---- sometimes they pee in them and you're up at 1:20 waiting on the linens in the dryer AND having to entertain an unsleepy? non-sleepy? awake child.

ahhh...the wonderful beeping of the dryer. A sound I usually dread because it means unmatched socks, clothes that need homes and things I should iron but usually just toss back into a pile that eventually gets thrown on the floor, covered in dog hair, washed again, tossed again...you get the picture.
