Headbands and Messenger Bags

Creative Life
So I woke up this morning and decided to wear my new super cute pink A-line skirt my mom made me. Being the adventurous (not really) soul I am I needed a headband to wear with my skirt! After all, a white tshirt and light pink skirt just doesn't say much, but add a hip headband and theres a statement (or something). Don't mind my crazy eyed stare.

My 3 nieces came and stayed with me for a few days earlier this summer and they fell in love with the messenger bags I made for my boys, so they begged me to make them some, one in a girly color scheme, and one in a very not girly color scheme. The girly one is done. Whew, that was a chore. She wanted a pocket for her cell phone, and so that gave me fits, and then I decided to line it with Warm and Natural since it will be used as her school bag and I thought that might help it hold up a bit better, and for some reason (okay it was really late) I just couldn't get my mind around layering the flap and sewing around it and turning it so it would look right. It finally came to me as we were watching Star Wars III at 12:30 at night. So, after a few more hours this morning her bag is done, and I do like it. I couldn't decide on an embellishment for the front so I just made a small yo-yo. She can add more later if she wants to.

Family Life

In family life, I took the kids to the movie today. Horton Hears a Who was playing. They seemed to like it, I tried not to fall asleep.

Mom and her hubby brought over a recliner for us, they are getting new ones. Ours is old and falling apart so it will be nice to have a newer one for the family room.
Stinker (DS age 10) had scouts tonight. They went on a bike ride. When Drummer Boy (DH) went to drop him off there was only one leader there so he stayed and went on the bike ride with them.

I'm finishing up cooking dinner, then we're gonna go watch Last Comic Standing (DVR's are so great) with no commercials.

Happy Blogging!

WooHoo!

Check it out! I figured out how to change it to my image and header! I'm not a complete idiot, and thanks to the people over at The Cutest Blog on the Block, its cute! Okay, so a couple hundred more refreshes, re-uploads and I might end up with something I like!

So far, I'm using a digital scrapbooking kit by Shabby Princess. If you are at all interested in digital scrapbooking you really should check her out. Her work is beautiful! And she offers free kits too! How great is that? Okay, Okay, enough for now. Gonna go learn something new.

Ta-Da!

After several attempts at trying to figure out other templates, I decided to just stick with a blogger template for now. Who knew this could be so confusing? I consider myself fairly computer savvy, and yet somehow I don't get this. Frustrating.

This will be an attempt at blogging (try number 2 by the way). I'm trying to figure out ways to keep myself motivated and doing the things that need done, and at the same time to do something resembling journaling about my life and family.

I would show what I've been working on, but the Mr. has the camera with him to take pictures of his band performance tonight at his work. His band performed twice yesterday for a company party, and then they will be performing tonight.

This is a picture from a performance they did last year for the city Revive @ 5 in the downtown district.



Happy blogging!
