Day of Disaster

I finally got a chance, however brief, to use my new sewing scissors. The ones I finally broke down and bought because my both of my previous scissors had disappeared. I've been using my rotery cutter for most projects but the last creation that just wasn't possible. So, of course now that I've pulled them out and used them, I've discovered my old sewing scissors. And on top of that, I discovered THREE pair of scissors in my craft drawers. Not fabric scissors, but scissors none the lest.

Then, the baby went to sleep. By herself on the floor in the most amazing way! I rushed to grab the coverlet from Ikea that I dyed. It didn't turn out so I have been planning to do a sort of reverse dye with bleach (diluted). I've done this before. In my rush to achieve progress during nap time, I did not think to change my clothes. I managed to get bleach water on my favorite green skirt. No joke. I look down and gasp. It looked bad. The worst part is that I should have know better. I'm not exactly a novice at this stuff.

Currently my green skirt is getting a bleach job. Who knows how it will turn out. It's currently turning a red/burgendy color. Which might be okay.

Some days are just like this. But they stink! My luck the coverlet AND the skirt will look worse. We'll see how it goes....
Wish me luck.

Monster Child

I noticed that our dear little girl's clothes were getting tight. As in too small. I had guessed we wouldn't get through all the lovely 0-3 month clothes we had. Most were hand me downs, which made me glad because we didn't even look at a lot of them. Especially since she isn't even two months old yet. So, I went through her drawers and pulled out tons of clothes, rearranged and washed the new 3-6 month clothes I had. The only thing I wondered: Did she weigh enough to fit into those clothes? Or was it just the long torso that was throwing us off. I went to a breastfeeding group yesterday and had the opportunity to weigh her. Fully dressed (so subtract a couple ounces for clothing weight) she weighed... 12 pounds !!! Good grief! In the five weeks since her last doc. appointment she has gained over three pounds. One thing is for sure, I've going to develop buff arms before I know it!

Lame O

I was catching up on a couple of blogs I like to read when I suddenly felt convicted about the lack of posts on my own blog. Now, granted, most of the time I have more important things to do. Like shower, which doesn't happen often enough. Like chase a munchkin, or a cat, or loads of laundry, dishes and unfinished craft projects. Truth is, I often have ideas of things to blog about. Like the weather. The massive amounts of rain, wind and crazy flooding. Then I convince myself that it's "boring" and don't. Besides I could be eating fudge instead. And really, everyone should be eating fudge instead. Which is another idea... share my 2 minute fudge recipe with the world. I mean, the five people who sometimes read this blog when there are new posts and they remember to check it. But even then, if they made it, that would mean that the world would have five people that are that much happier.
