JamTots and PolkaDots

baby z was having a hard time deciding which of her JamTots cover to wear for her photoshoot.

she loves all her diapers.

in the end she decided to go with her

Northern Light cover

(its her mama's favorite color)

maybe gramma harv will make her a hat to match EACH of her diapers.

ya think?

its no secret.

i love socks.

every year i get socks for my birthday.

and if i don't get socks for my birthday this year, im gonna be really sad.

just sayin.

my very own recipe...

proceed with caution:

it looks yummy...and my kids gave it a thumbs up.

they're my greatest critics.

a work in progress

...and its taking waaaaay to long to finish

so, since im not patient enough wait to show you the finished product...



i started with these...


 
used a little bit of this...

which made them look like this...

then i got a little distracted

 (yeah i do that sometimes)

last night after all the kids finally settled down, i acutally started cutting and this is where im at right now...

any guesses as to what i plan on making of this?

where in the world

am i?

missin you

May the Souls of the Faithful Departed Rest In Peace.

love ya little brother

sometimes my blog sits on the back burner

can't imagine why.

maybe it has something to do with these little hands.

i promise, i do have a few new projects headed this way.

one involves old t-shirts, sharp scissors, and Rit dye.
