feeling a little hurt
Ok so it's been getting pretty cold at nights. The tot only has light weight jammies and has been complaining about being cold. So I go on a mission.
I hunt down a pattern - takes a bunch of searching. Do research the material to make them out of. Go to joann's find the perfect pattern ( cause it has to be a hard to find one) pants with footies. So I go to work on making the pants. It's a pretty easy pattern but since the tot is tall and skinny I have to modify it and with that come tons of trying them on. So I make her mad with "come try these on again" "hey just one more time" "last time". I get hung up on attaching the foot to the leg cause they add a trim and makes it really bulking to go through the serger. I feel the urge to make them easier cause I plan on making a bunch of them, four hours later and a melt down by me I figure it out. So one leg is the pattern directions and the other is the four hrs easy way. She tries them on after they are completed and
Her "they are to hot"
Me "I thought you are cold at night"
Her "Just my arms"
If she was older I would make her arm warmers (like leg warmers).
this is the quick one this is the pattern way. I know looks nice but kind of a pain.

catch up
Ok so I will try to catch everyone up on the past memorable events or at least the ones I took pictures of.
So to start off - July (oh please don't expect me to put this in order). My son went into the Navy in March - boy do I miss my giant boy - and graduated at the end of April. I flew out to Chicago with his now x-girlfriend for his graduation. He came out 4th of July weekend - he was coming out to see his girlfriend but she broke up with him before he came out.

Bad blogger
Well if anyone still reads this, this is for you :). I guess I'm not as chatty as I was must not have much to say. I will say I am starting to feel normal again. After 2 surgeries in less than 3 month it's about time. We went on a vacation to Hawaii 2 weeks ago and it was fabulous. I still have been crafting and will try to post some of my creations :). I will try to be a better blogger and catch you all up......

RIP
We put my very old dog to sleep today. She has been going down hill for a long time. This was the hardest thing to do but it was getting really bad. I had to help her up and down. I made my poor husband do it. He help the poor old thing into the car (I can't stop crying) and drove away. He came back 30 min later in tears. I thought he would just let them take her but he went in with her and held her head. Goodbye Cabbie you were a good dog and you will be missed.

MIA
Sorry everyone I have been a medical mess. I am feeling a little better. I had surgery (again) last Friday and it's taking me a little longer to feel human. The sinus infection from hell turned into a medical mess, anywho hopefully this will fix it.
Here is what I worked on during this whole mess. My cousin's 14 yr old requested this for her party.

Whew made it
Well the Holidays are over, yay and boo. The tot has one more week off at pre-school. The house is a disaster but who cares (I do). I have been working on my late Christmas gifts a little, hoping to get them done soon. I bought a butt load of more fabric hoping to make some dress and bags :).
Here's a sneak peek of the advent calendar.
