Confession

So when I talked about my New Year's resolutions....I may have left one out! I am actually really good at organizing things, especially things that are important to me. My husband is always giving me a hard time about too many bottles in the shower, too much stuff on the counter top in my bathroom, etc. Well, I have to admit that I MAY have a little problem! He thinks that I am rubbing off on the girls and that they are going to be just like me. 


So let me defend myself for a second! The housekeeper took every bottle in the bathroom and put into the shower. There is normally not THIS many in here! The loofah factory belongs to the girls. I am responsible for 8 of the shampoo/conditioner bottles. I know....weird-o. I like to change shampoos daily. I have the normal cleanser, shaving cream, soap added to this mix. Lance told me he would buy me a new shirt if I could guess within 1 bottle how many were in the shower. I guessed 18 and he told me that I wasn't even close. There was 33!!!!! Holy cow! I may need some kind of AA meeting for too many bottles. 

Now on to the more productive things I have managed to do this weekend! 




Lots and lots of monogrammed pocket tees! I have several more that I will be working on tomorrow night. I did find some super cute new fabrics that I am excited to try out! 


I got to try out my new heart die that I found at Michael's. Now I will have to go back and change out the front piece on my necklace! 

So precious! Love! These will be available soon for $25 (includes 3 names)!

These will be available for $20 with 2 names.
I had another one of my moments where I didn't know how something was going to turn out. Once again, I was pleasantly surprised and may have to make one for myself! 


This is one of the flannel infinity scarves. My nickname for it is Colonel Mustard. It is a fabulous mustard color and looks absolutely amazing on black and navy blue. I had on a navy blue with white polka dot dress today and really wanted one of these when I held it up next to my dress. It would definitely add a great pop of color! 

WARNING TO GRANDMAS:

Ok....grandmas to my children. You should probably turn away at this point! 

Last chance.....your surprise it about to be ruined! 


These are 7inch by 12 inch canvases. I laid out and sewed on every one of these lovely buttons. I probably have an hour in each one of these. I have two done and at least two more to go. After sewing on all of the buttons, I painted Addi's hand red. She was the first to leave her handprint since she has the biggest hand. I let Sofie be pink since her's were a little smaller. After both of the colors had dried, I added the cute little purple heart to add more color. I plan to tie a red gingham ribbon bow to the top for them to hang. These turned out sooooo cute....I really want one of these too! 

Despite my bathroom hoarding tendencies....I did have a pretty productive weekend!

  1. I'm stealing your handprint idea...I wish I had chosen more contrasting colors for my 3, but I think it is going to be cute when I finish :-)
