The gift of sleep

Corbyn is 10 and a half months now and he still doesn't sleep through the night. If he only wakes up twice I consider that a good night sleep (even though between the time I go to bed, him waking up, and Chad getting up so early the most solid uninterrupted sleep I get is 3 hours) But the last 3 nights Corbyn has only woken up once. So I'm trying not to get too excited but I'm really hoping that this continues and he starts sleeping better. And as for naps...ha ha. they are pretty much non existent. He didn't take one yesterday at all. but I at least make him take one a day around noon he will go to sleep for about an hour. You would think that with such little sleep during the day he would be better at night.
Anyway Here's hoping to a good night sleep.

Painting Update

Ok well i got the halls finished and looking at it with the trim I think I still like it. We're going to go ahead and finish. And for some reason (I'm not sure why) my Dad is wanting to put laminent flooring through out my kitchen and living room. I'm not sure why he's insisting on doing it, but he's bringing floor samples down this weeked. Ya' see Chad isn't the only one who spoiles me LOL...:)

Painting Woe's

So I started painting over my green living room today. Well we actually started in the halls and looking at it, I'm not sure the color is going to work like I wanted too. I don't want to go to all of the work to paint the WHOLE living room and then decide, but it's hard to tell in the halls. SO we'll see what happens.

BIG PLANS

I have super big plans this week. It's full of house cleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping! If I get caught up on that stuff I'm planning on painting my living room...:) I'm so excited to start that, it's been on my "wish list of things to do" since sometime last year. But we'll see how far I get.

Yeah ME!

As I've shared before I had my wisdom teeth pulled clear back on Jan 2nd. And after all of my complications, and follow up appointments I can now say I've had my last appointment!!! I'm so ready to be done with it. I don't know why I had such a hard time. I've basically had a weekly appointment with my Oral surgeon since Jan 2nd. When he told me that it looked lots better and he didn't think i needed to come back in, I seriously said "Yeah me!"

Pacing Myself?

Pacing myself is a tricky thing. Now that I have a vinyl cutter I have a lot of people asking me when I'm going to get it up and running so I think that, that is going to keep me really busy. I'm excited to think that I might actually be able to make some money at it. But along with my new vinyl cutting "business" I'm still maiking clocks to sell, I still sell scrapbooking supplies through Stampin' Up! (r) Plus I have a new found hobby in Sewing (as you see from the blankets) And it was mentioned that I might be able to sell the blankets. I'm having so much fun with all of this but the problem is, because I have so many projects going, I'm falling behind with house cleaning, grocery shopping, personal stamping, And I still do acheivment day's with the 8-11 year old girls at church...

I think I need to make a schedule!

More Fun Blankets

I just wanted to show you more of the blankets I've done.......

I really like the Bee blanket. However I don't think I could pick a favorite.

The embroidered block ended up matching the pattern really well on this one, I also made a burp rag to match this one.

I also have a burp rag to match the green stipped one.

I hope you like them..... :)

Gideon

The dog SURVIVED!!! LOL . He got his stitches out and that silly cone taken off and he's back to being the annoying dog that I didn't really like in the first place lol. even the scars are minimal.

Slow recovery

Well, on Jan 2nd I got my wisdom teeth pulled out....It was so AWEFULL! I ended up getting dry socket in both of the bottom teeth. And then after about 3 weeks of that, I got a little bit of infection in my upper one. I go back in on Monday and I hope that will be my last appointment. I asked the nurse if the reason I've been haveing so many problems is that I wasn't cleaning good enough but she said that I was actually doing a really good job with the cleaning. The only good thing about the whole expeiriance is that since i couldn't eat anything I lost nearly 10LBS. I've actually lost a lot of weight since I had Corbyn. I back down to my pre-marriage weight.. :-)

Busy Bee's

Wow, It's been a crazy couple of weeks. But I want to show you a little of what my friend Lorinda and I have been up too.

<--------------------The table has been set up for nearly a weeks now and Lorinda has been coming over everyday to sew.

It sure has been a mess at my house but thats what happens when you go to the day after Thanksgiving sale at JoAnn's and the flannel is $0.99 a yard. Be baught so much. But its will be so nice to not have to worry about baby gifts for a while.

The finished products are turning out SOOOO cute. Last year Chad baught me an Embroidery Maching and so on the blankets I'm making I putting a little image in the corners. I think it gives it just a cute little extra. I don't know if you can see but on the pink one I sewed little flowers around the edge. I'm really happy how their turning out.
