While telling my husband tonight that I forgot to wash our comforter and offering to throw it in the wash real quick like, he said no, that would be fine, we’d manage without tonight, “You know, I’m easy like Sunday mornin’.”  And it suddenly struck us both as funny.  Who wrote this song anyway?  Because I know they didn’t have a bunch of young’n’s they were tryin’ to get to church on time.  ‘Cause ain’t nothin’ easy about that.

While we’re talkin’ about the things my family says - my girl was at it again tonight.  While drivin’ back from gettin’ some groceries she said she knew what she would name her babies when she was all grown up.  (In order) the name of her baby-est brother, Cornflakes, Santa, Tree, and Sign.  Hi-larious.  Where does she get this stuff?

Oh, and kinda related to the church thing (you know, the above Sunday morning reference?  for those of you as brain-lacking as me).  That thar’s my church down there.  And that thar’s the art show.  And that thar is my wall hanging a’hangin’ on that wall.  And, why yes, if you can find it (kind of like my own version of Where’s Waldo) you’ll see a ribbon next to it.  No money, but I did place in the top ten of my division.  Ye-ah!  And contrary to what I was convinced of, there were more than 11 entries.  That may boost my confidence just enough to go ahead and start that etsy shop I’ve been shying (that’s a word, right?) away from now for months.

Darth Vader & Obi Wan Kenobi

Here are the dolls I made for Maury’s son for his birthday.  A better version of the ones I made for my kiddos.  If you’re interested in one - or want to special order a specific outfit let me know - I’m for hire.  And, of course, I make outfits for girly ones - my honey just called them “dolls for boys”!

I’m not a nightgown wearer.  Much as I’ve tried and wanna be, I’m a t-shirt kinda gal.  And so, after purchasing this with high hopes and then, never wearing it, I decided the little hearts on it, just might could make something for a certain little girl I know.

And a couple hours later… it’s not perfect, but don’t tell her, she thinks it is.

The kiddos were back to beggin’ me to make ‘em some stuff.  TheOldest wanted a doctor’s costume.  So here it is.  Amazing how well it fits his personality - and I don’t think I’m just dreamin’!  I haven’t gotten around to the mask or the hat thingie.  Maybe later.  If he’ll only whine some more for them.

and once again, remember these?  my kids came across them the other day and asked that i add to the batman outfit and make it interchangeable with a darth helmet, removable light saber, and a new cape that isn’t “pointy”.  and so here he is.
