Not Seeing the Lamb Yet.

Phew.  We just got back from our month long trip exploring the Caribbean Islands.  You should see my tan.  NOT.  We’re actually still freezing our butts off in the same old spot.  Got teased by a little warmth and then back to frozen.  I’m still winter white with dry skin like no other. I’m honestly not sure what the heck I’ve been doing all this time! 

I made a couple new things though. Like this little lady.

 

And a few little somethings for the pooches.

Meet Sox everyone.  That’s my friend Ellie’s dog. What a cutie.  Even better with a little designer “cowl.”  I also love the blurry owl hanging out in the background.  Our house is hysterical right now.

I’ve made a couple different bag styles.  This one is equiped with grommets and ties.

This one has a little drawstring action.  I love this bag, but you should’ve been here when I was making it.  What a joke.  I’m not sure if someone slipped some sort of drug into my drink or what but I kept making the weirdest mistakes.  I thought I was doing so well.  The best one by far is after sewing on the little casing that the ties go through, I opened the bag to find that I sewed all the pockets shut.  Good thing the kids were already in bed.

Sorry I don’t have much more to share.  I did make a bunch of things but I don’t have pics yet.  I have a show this weekend that I am completely not prepared for.  I have to admit that I have been a bit overwhelmed the past couple weeks.  Not sure why, but I’m gonna put myself together soon.

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Sorry

We’ve been too busy lying around to update my blog.

No really.  We have been busy.  Being princesses.

We spent a lovely weekend away visiting some wonderful friends.  The little kids got to play and the bigger kids (I still don’t like the word adult when referring to myself) got to hang out. 

Molly decided to play a Nintendo DS racing game on the hilly ride back home and threw up all over the place.  We had the pleasure of traveling 4 hours back home with an extremely unpleasant odor in car. 

We all got over our colds/coughs/sinus infections.  Then I was blessed with the stomach virus.  It came out of nowhere and I didn’t know what hit me.  I was completely out of commission.  I’m talking body aches, twisting stomach, headache, chills/sweats – not to mention the obvious that we all know goes along with the stomach virus.  

SO, now we’re good to go.  I hope.  I’ve made a few things but haven’t taken pictures yet.  I just thought I had to say something so everyone knew that I was still around.  I was doing so good with my “resolution” of trying to post more.

Now we just sit around praying for it to get warm enough to go outside.  We hang out by the windows trying to remember what it’s like to play out there.  It’s this time every year that the cold is just too much to deal with.  Depressing. 

This is what we feel like.  Actually this is our Grinch face.  Molly is doing Dr. Seuss week in school so I thought I’d show off my talent.  She quickly caught on and makes this face approximately 80% of the day.
