What'd You Get?

So, Christmas is over.  How was it for you?  We had a great day!  When I woke up, I thought I was the first one up (it was 7:30), but Mallory came sneaking into my room and said, "It's 7:30.  You said not to bother anyone before then and I've been up since 5:30 waiting."  How can you not love that?

We opened presents.  Everyone loved what they received....Lauren got all the Harry Potter movies, Mallory got a new DSI game thing, Harley got an electric scooter.  Jenna's favorite gift was the Bob Marley shirt and Ashley loved the new jeans.  Are you wondering what I got? heehee I scored. Big time.  I got a Kindle and a string of chocolate colored pearls.

We had an early dinner/late lunch.  We ate, laughed and all was merry and bright.  When I crawled into bed last night (at 8:30) I was exhausted and I slept wonderfully!

Tomorrow is back to business as usual.  I've got to go back to work cause our governing committee decided our preschool would be open between Christmas and New Years to help those parents who have to work.  Hopefully it will be a quick work week.  Of course, I need to go grocery shopping and I've got to clean the house. Especially my bedroom since I'm getting a new bedroom set after the first of the year....I guess you could say I got that for Christmas as well :)

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...
