Sunburned already?

Today is the first day of spring!!! I love winter the best, but this winter seems to have drug on and on. Yesturday I went to the park with friends and enjoyed the beautiful day. While we we there, Nicholas fell asleep in my arms. I held him for awhile while I was talking with friends. Later that night I noticed he had got sunburned on one side of his body. He had a very rosy cheek and arm. It was so funny to see half his body sunburned. It isn't a bad sunburned so don't feel to bad for him. I thought it was surprising that there was enough sun to be worring about getting sunburned already! Isn't he so cute!!!

Feel like complaining.......

I must be in a bad mood, cause I just feel like complaining. I really hate glass doors. I know that sounds strange but I really do hate glass doors. I am on my way to church thinking I look OK and then it happens, I got to the door to go in and see my reflection in the glass door and realize that I don't look as good as I thought (or wished) that I looked. If I wanted to see my reflection I'd look in a mirror. I also hate going down the frozen food aisle...it scares me to look in the glass doors to see what I actually look like. If you can't see yourself then you can imagine that you look good and then you feel good. Nothing blows your self esteem that seeing what you actually look like through a glass door.

Monkeying Around!!!

Wow it has taken me some time but I have finally finished making the Monkey for Madi. I showed her the one that Nicole made and she loved it and wanted me to make her one. Let me say, its pretty nerve raking to have somone standing over your sholder waiting for you to sew them a Monkey. Madi could hardly wait for me to finish. I messed up, I didn't realize that the body was to be made out of the print material to become the shirt of the monkey, so when I finished I realized we had a shirtless monkey on our hands. Needless to say I was making a shirt for her to wear. It really was fun to make and not to hard either. I look forward to my next project....If I find one and if Nicole lets me use her machine again. Thanks Nicole!!

P.S. Nicholas was playing with the monkey and already lost one shoe.....I guess she must be a cinderella monkey!!
