Really? I mean, you'd really think I had forgotten!
I swear I haven't, but life, along with that pesky thing called "Not enough time in the day" just really seems to get in the way!
I've been up to a fair bit of sewing. I hope to share it with you soon. I've also been digital scrapbooking - again, I hope to share some of it with you soon! I have some knitting going - which again, I hope to share soon (all of this is code for I've been too lazy to take pictures of anything! LOL!)
So here's hoping I can find a bit of balance soon and get back into the habit of posting over here!

Happy Pi Day!
You probably didn't know, but today (March 14) is Pi Day. 3-14 is perfect since pi = 3.14 I'd say!
We celebrated this on Friday by eating some pie with some friends. We enjoyed cherry and apply pie. We also ate some very yummy pasta dinner. My friend was insistent my family brought only hunger to her house - and it's always nice to be treated to a home cooked meal by others, but to celebrate Pi Day and her baking us some pies, I whipped this little apron up for her!
The pocket though, has my favorite part -
(the embroidery was being offered for free at Urban Threads in honor of Pi day! And also they have a lot of really awesome embroidery - both machine and hand - patterns!)
I have enough of the apple fabric that I might have to whip one up for me to have one too!
Anyway, hope you all had a good Pi Day and if you mssed it, I say for sure, eat some pie this week to celebrate! =)

Howdy!
So, umm, yeah, that was a month break I wasn't planning on taking, but alas, life happens. And good thing too, because if ife didn't happen I'd have nothing to come blog about, right?!
Anyway, vacation was fun - we had a blast - I expect to share more about it in the coming weeks. We've also had some more illness going on around here - blech. We've had some warm days (yay!) and so we've been trying to get out to take advantage of them. And of course there is the cleaning, cooking, schooling, twittering, hanging out at The Motherhood, and reading to keep myself busy with these days!
Anyway, going to try to be around here more often. I have lots of ideas swirling around this head of mine and so that should lead to many many things to share with you all - if I can manage to find the time to do it all in of course ;-)

Sewing project ...
I told you that I had a sewing project this week. I'm not quite done with it, but I thought I'd share my progress so far!
These are the parts I have finished:
And the purse and cell phone are in progress:
I think they are turning out so cute! These will be a present for a special one year old (her mom blogs here)
My girls are very sad I am not making this for them though - well, mostly the 7 year old but the 10 year old has tried to play with it too! LOL!
Now I must return to the sewing so that I can finish it on time! =)

Alive!
I am alive over here - barely, but I am.
Life got busy and then last week was a lot of bad things followed by a lot of bad things.
So I haven't had much time to create/knit/sew/crochet anything lately. Which makes me so sad - but yet so glad we survived our bad week.
In the last 7 days: 4/5 of us have had a very bad stomach virus (3 of us are still suffering from it in some form as I type this), 4 yo visited urgent care, his pediatrician, then had an overnight stay in the hospital. He also is sporting 4 stitches in his ear. We felt an earthquake. We had a snow storm (although it wasn't that bad compared to what hit the East coast). My car had almost $1000 of repairs on it. We discovered the 7yo needs glasses, and her foot inserts came in from the podiatrist (we found out she needed those 1 1/2 weeks ago - also when she went in to be treated for a wart on her foot and we realized we needed to get her into a neurologist).
Um, yeah, it's been quite the week. I am praying, hoping, and wishing that this week is just completely boring, filled with lots of knitting (yes, I did join the ravelympics - did you?!) and watching the Olympics on tv, and cuddling with my kiddos. Hopefully as the week progresses I'll have lots of great photos to show you - I am hoping to completely finish one sweater and make significant progress on another, not to mention I have a fun sewing project coming up that has to be done by Friday!
Also, Happy Valentine's Day. I hope yours is much healthier than ours! =)
