This is how we start off our Saturdays...when Dad sleeps in the kids watch Kipper. When Mom sleeps in they watch Pink Panther cartoons with their father. Baby T sits there for about 2-minute stints.I do have something to show for my lack of blog posts, and a few of them seemed worth sharing.
This mail sorter has helped keep huge piles of paper from stacking up next to the computer. We don't have a designated office but use part of the living room. This isn't the epitome of organization, but at least it looks a little more purposeful. Find the tutorial here.
Before Christmas I made my first bag, using this tutorial. I really liked the style, although I altered it by adding interfacing to the whole thing to make it stand up on its own (she wanted a bag that would work as a basket when opened) and put super-stiff interfacing in the bottom (which means I had to square it off). I think I could really get into making bags!
My Mom gave us a "princess costume" over Christmas, and this is my replica for our niece, who turns 2 tomorrow:
If I have time I might write up a quick tutorial because the whole thing was less than $5 to make but the girls just love them.Last but not least, today is the beginning of DAIRY DAYS for me...(not so) Baby T is weaned as of this weekend and hasn't even seemed to notice.
I'm off to have some icecream, or something other than goat cheese, or chocolate milk, or whatever creamy food suits my fancy.

Congratulations and praise the Lord for sustaining you through those Dairy Free Days!
Hooray for Cow products!!!! I'll be honest - you are an icon for me in this regard. I spent my entire pregnancy remembering how you gave up milk for breastfeeding, and hoping PROFUSELY that I would not have to do the same. Thankfully, Will doesn't seem to be allergic to anything...
anyway, congratulations for sticking it out!
Love all the projects! Glad for you that you can now enjoy dairy-related items! Miss you!
Aw, he looks so old! Congrats on the weaning -- you should definitely treat yourself to some fettucine alfredo or a milkshake or something.
1) this was one of my favorite posts of yours of all time
2) A is amazingly beautiful.
3) The bag is awesome
4) Dairy. Ah. Life is GOOD. I suggest going to Chick Fil A and getting a 900 calorie, 28 grams of fat, hand spun milkshake. Seriously. They're so amazing.
I love you.
Hooray for the new-found freedom. Might I suggest that you add cheese to EVERYTHING today?
