hello Friday

So this is a bit of a random post. I realized I only got my camera out twice this week – TWICE.

That’s like only brushing your teeth twice in a week.  Tells you a bit about my week!

Baby sister got a new hat – which I totally love.  It accents her cheeks which combined with the fun design and colors just makes it perfect!

I was on my hands and knees scrubbing syrup off the kitchen floor (just call me Cinderella) and was complaining about the constant mess Littlest Brother creates.  In the midst of the scrubbing and complaining I looked up and saw this:

As I looked at how his legs fill the chair I also thought of how soon those legs will dangle over the side and feet will tap the ground. So I stopped scrubbing and captured that sight. And then I stood on the kitchen table and asked him to give me a kiss. (then I got down and went back to the scrubbing)

In honor of this weekends football games I thought I’d share a pic of a onesie I made some friends for their newborn son. They are BIG TIME OU fans and I thought my creation was hilarious. That is what happens if you are my close friend….you get stuck with iron-on onesies that reflect my odd sense of humor.  Thankfully for me my friends at least pretend to like my random gifts 🙂

So a little while back I entered this contest:

With this picture:

And guess what…I got news this week I was one of the ten winners! What do I win you ask…fat quarters of the Midwest Modern fabric line, Amy’s new patterns and a signed copy of her new Softwares program. Amy picked the winners and I’ll admit to being quite excited that she saw a picture of something I made with her fabric – and liked what she saw! I’m looking forward to that package of fabric, but I’ve never read a pattern. Guess I have a new learning challenge ahead. At least I’ll have some fun fabric to learn on! You can see the other entries here.

By the way….we did get to do our family pictures and boy did we make Shannon work hard…I hope she still wants more kids! I’m a big dork in pictures. It was SO HARD for me to be in front of the camera instead of behind it. I wanted to schedule the session close to my birthday…my way of celebrating. Let’s just say I had 30 balloons in some of the pictures (only a little time left in my 20s, but that is a whole other post). Told you I am a dork. Thanks Shannon!
