Summer is in full swing.....

So what do you do when its a bazillion degrees outside....you find the nearest watering home and jump in it! So, here they are #3 and #4 before...








and here they are in action....









They're so cute, but onto crafty news. I joined my first swap over here, and I am finally ready to send it off. I don't know if you can tell but the box is taped to within an inch of it's life.



I hope L. from here gets her package in one piece.

This morning....

So, some may wonder why I am up at the crack at dawn posting a message? Well, today is the first day of summer school...yay! not! My loving oldest son will be attending summer school for the first time, and the bus did not show up on time. So looking as gorgeous as one can look when having to get dressed and get someone to school in about 5 minutes I set out on a journey to "Middle School". Of course once there no one knew why the bus was not on time and directed me to call transportation.....we'll see how that turns out later...it's tooo early. Hopefully my son will be able to make it through the day (he has ADHD) and sometimes that's hard. If anyone out there has any tips on that let me know.

The Craft "Room"


I use that term loosely. Having 4 kids and being in a rental doesn't leave much space, so that's it. I get a closet, and the dining room table and occasionly the bed, and of course most of us with kids know the crown jewel for "alone time" is the bathroom. I know my kids wonder how many hour long showers can mommy take in a a day. I guess I should'nt complain, but it is a mess and has no personality, whatsoever, so for the next couple of days I will be revamping the closet...I mean CRAFT ROOM.

Guess what I found....




Since you don't know me yet....let me just tell you..I am fickle. I go from one craft to the next, and when I do watch out!!!! So, for now I am into sewing and fabric....really into fabric, and thrifting. Luckily for me, most of the thrift stores in my area seem to have many fabrics on a daily basis. But for once I actually ventured to the fabric store and this is what I came back with....they are all fq's...the ones in the right corner where $1.00 each, and the others, with the exception of the Amy Butler bundle (that I could not do without) were only $2.50.
