Fabric

So I did it I went here....

And let me say, it left me wishing I could go back here....


A fabric store that is in no way depressing, sad or empty! I loved going in to Liberty! Especially with my mom. The woman who has tried to teach me to sew my whole life, and has always fixed my mistakes. Seeing how impressed she was, made me more so.
We are off to Philadelphia tomorrow and Marj tells me they have a cool fabric district which I am determined to check out.... even in the freezing cold, with two kids and my stroller.... Wish me luck!

Paint

Ugh you are my Nemesis! Will I ever get it done? I really can't say for sure. All I know is this is my list...
Joey's ceiling
Bathrooms
Den ceiling
Hallways
Kitchen
Granted, our space is quite small but how do I paint when one wont let me out of his sight and the other really want to help!
Not to mention picking colors... What color goes well with Silver sage? And what color should a kitchen be?
All these questions left unanswered... What is a girl to do?

Dream Journal

Joey has been having bad dreams lately. The other morning she was telling me all about this owl who flew in her room and got in her hair and "really very not nice, but not mean" So I thought maybe she would like to express it by paint or drawing it. And it gives us a good opportunity to talk about it. Because just because she is only three doesn't mean she doesn't have the emotions of a 13 year old.... yes it is going to be a very long road. Anyway here is what we made.



It turned out good, she was really funny telling me all sorts of things and me really listening. She has never been an easy sleeper, at least not since she has had the freedom to get out of bed. So hopefully this will help her get her dreams out and her mind slow down enough to sleep. We will definitely do more when needed.

Yoga

(no this isn't me)
I know it is weird to talk about body images on the www but I have been trying to get back to me and that is one thing I can't get to get on board... My bod. So as of late I have made a goal to do yoga daily... I keep waiting for it to kick in, but nothing yet. I really hope I don't have to start doing strenuous activity, like running.. because I'll be honest, it might kill me. The good news it for doing yoga for a week straight I have only had one injury. To my shoulder, I don't think you should be able to reach your arm around your back and leg and place your hand on your inner thigh:)

Newest Kick

I have had it in my head lately that I am going to start sewing. Kev bought me a sewing machine not to long ago and I need to start using it. I have sewn before and I like to think I am not half bad. I have a vision of my kids this Easter in sort of matching outfits that I in some way made... here are a few of my ideas.. We will see what I actually make.



problem with me actually sewing is my moms not here to fix it......

What?

Lately I have had a few things plaguing me, so I figure what better way to self discovery than a blog? Here is where I will log all the things I want to be, do, have happen.... And through it I hope to be a better, wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend... well a better me...
