It's her birthday!




16 years ago today she was born. A day I'll never forget. I woke up during the early morning and went to the bathroom (as preggo ladies often do in the middle of the night) so when I woke up at 7:30 to get ready for my doctor's appointment I didn't have to rush to the bathroom. I laid in the bed thinking of what I was going to eat for breakfast when my water broke! So I ended up in the bathroom anyway LOL I got dressed and we headed to the hospital....after I ate breakfast :)



She arrived at 12:38...right after lunch. My only child to be born in the afternoon (the rest were morning babies). She weighed 9 pound and 1 ounce. She was 21 inches long. And had dark brown, almost black hair. And lots of it. She was a miserable baby. She had her days and nights mixed up. that didn't matter though cause she only slept for about 20 minutes at a time and then cried for the next half hour. She did that the first 3 months she was alive. I thought I'd die from lack of sleep. I wondered why she wasn't a good baby like her big sister.



Thankfully we figured out it was her formula. Once we straightened that out, she was a happy little camper.

Now, she's 16. A sophmore in high school. A beautiful young lady. She wants to be a surgeon. She wants a new kitten. She wants a new car. She'll get her driver's license at the end of the month. She has a potty mouth. Regardless, I am very proud of her. She's a spectacular human being that I love with all my heart and soul.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENNA! I LOVE YOU!

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...
