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.

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

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?

WIP Wednesday...on Thursday

I started this post yesterday. Several times.  But, I got busy doing other stuff and this got pushed to the side.  I finally have a few free minutes today so I figured I would come back to it LOL  Really, I am procrastinating on doing my last case study for the management class I am taking 😉 So, this is titled WIP Wednesday.  I decided I would start sharing my cross stitch WIPs with you.   I started cross stitching MANY years ago.  I've done pieces and given them as birthday, graduation and wedding gifts.  I made the whole family matching Christmas stockings.  Even got two of the three grandbabies stockings made after a long break from cross stitch while I sewed children's clothes and went to school.  But, I picked cross stitch back up a couple of years ago and quickly remembered why I love it so much.  It's almost mindless work for me.  It keeps my attention just enough to make ignore all else, but not enough thought has to b...
