First day of School!







It's back to school time! Parker starts middle school this year. I think I was more nervous than he was. Logan was put in a 5/6 combo class. I guess he is a better student than I thought. I would be scared to be in with all those big sixth graders! Conner started kindergarten. I'm not sure if he was nervous or not. He doesn't show emotion about these kind of things. All I know is that it is really quiet around here!

Today's project was......



A new cover for my ironing board! It was really easy. My old one was literally falling apart. Now I have one that matches my new (and still unfinished) laundry room. And it's a good thing tomorrow is Saturday, the special day, the day we get ready for Sunday, because my house is a D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R! I know, it's sideways, but I can't figure out how to rotate the darn picture.

Craftin' up a storm



What does one do when they wake up one day and realize it's time to cut back? No more Target when I'm bored. No more lunch dates. No more Diet Coke. This is what happened to me. I pulled out the old sewing machine and scraps of material I had laying around and I went to town. Recognize the red and blue skirt? It was a dress I made for Paige a few months ago, but she never wore it because it didn't really fit right. So I chopped it in half and made it a skirt. Now she loves it! I even made matching hair clips. Now I'm exhausted.



Then I made some bags.
