Yeah, well...

School work has caught up with me. If you didn't know, I'm a procrastinator by nature. And I have put off typing up field reports for my field observations I did LAST month. And now they're due by Monday. Not to mention that I have writing samples and a handwriting sample due Monday. I also have to do a thematic unit for the 28th. Thankfully I have the thematic unit half done already...just got to type it. I'm not going to be able to move my fingers by the time I finish typing all this stuff. And to further complicate things, we get new assignments starting Monday LOL I may not have a brain left come December.

On a happier note, my house is prepared for the Christmas tree. The girls noticed that one of our neighbors put theirs up on Veteran's Day and they are now chomping at the bit to put ours up. I think Jenna is going to put our lights up this weekend. She has nothing better to do since she's still grounded. She does the lights on the porch anyways. I've had to rearrange my living room to make room for the giant tree we have. Ours is 9 foot tall and it's big! We usually put it up in the dining room, but with the new dining room table, it won't fit. And we've gotten use to eating at a table again ROFLOL I may have Ashley clean the mantle off so we can put my village there. Not sure what we're going to do with stockings since we got a big screen last Christmas and it covers most of the mantle so hanging them there and them being seen is not an option. We'll just have to see what we're doing.

Make it work....

OK. So, the fabric I got from the challenge isn't tooooo bad together :) I'm making it work. My problem is with the trims. What am I suppose to do with the ribbon and lace??? Maybe a lace rose? Ribbon straps?with suspender clips? AACCKKK!!!! I'd post a pic and get suggestions but my rules said I can't do that. Soooo, I guess I'm on my own. I'll keep you posted! In other designing news...I've got a Valentine set finished. It goes in the mail tomorrow to the model. I got more Valentine fabric to sew. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet though. And another Valentine set planned, but with not overly Valentine fabric so it could be worn later in the year. Pretty, isn't it? Andddd...be on the lookout for a new website. www.boutiquerascals.com I'll have my wonderful creations for sale there and there will be lots of great things from all my Rascal buddies. We'll have clothes, bows, purses, jewelry, tooth fairy pillows, lots of great things!...

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader.  I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public).  Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges.  In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain.  A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year.  Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog  http://www.bookchickcity.com/  and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year.  I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books.  You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
