Hello!

Poor Moe is sick. As a result our house is a disaster zone! Mimi decided to help out, so she paid the bills for us:

She is such a big helper!

OH, I almost forgot...All you crafty people out there....What are these? A hat for a doll's head? I got them at a yard sale. I bought a box of crafting supplies and several of these were in the box. I am perplexed by them, and obsessed with finding the answer.


Have a wonderful day! Enjoy it! :)

Untitled. Why? Because I can't think of anything to call this entry!

I guess it is done. Something screams "NOT DONE" every time I walk past it.

We bought this really cool tool-a dremel! It is my anniversary gift! hehe! You know some girls want diamonds and purses...not me! I want some tools! If there is no threat of losing a finger or limb, then it's no fun! Anyway, our first go at it produced this guy:

Thanks Kevin! You rock! Happy early anniversary!

Thanks Sleep Fairy

Yes, this is Moe snuggling with his Tyke Light. We are finally getting the sleep we need. He snuggles with it for a minute or so, gives it a kiss, and then puts it on his nightstand.

Robots

In The Know: Are We Giving The Robots That Run Our Society Too Much Power?

Keeping Busy

Here is a painting I am working on. I have a case of "finish-itis" with it. It is for Mimi, and she really wants it to be finished....I guess it is no longer inspiring me to pick up my brush....Sometimes I have to live with something for awhile before I am motivated again.
I made this yesterday, and I really like it. I put it above my kitchen sink. It was fun sawing, drilling, and painting. I also used this old leather shoe string to tie it all together.

I bought the wood frame at a yard sale on Saturday. I spent 50 cents, and I thought that it would work with the circle painting (1st picture), but it's too big. So, I came up with this instead. It is a strange grouping and a strange way to use a frame, but it motivates me to think about different ways of doing things.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone has a great week.

Happy Father's Day

My mom often tells me Kevin is such a "good daddy" because he watches the kiddos while I run errands. I always agree he is a great father, but not for those reasons. He is a great father because of the quality time he spends with Mimi and Moe. He has great patience, and he is so creative. He is always making up games with them, or encouraging them to use their imaginations. I couldn't have imagined a husband or father like him. Thank you, Kevin!

To all fathers I hope your day is fun filled. Happy Father's Day!

Old clothing + Creativity = Bears

These little faceless bears were made to give Moe an easier transition to his "big boy" twin bed. They were made from Dad's beat up shirts, an old apron , and a favorite uncle's shirt. Oh, and poly-fil.
They also have been great to stuff in between the wall and side of bed. Now I don't have to worry about Moe getting wedged there.

I tried to make a couple dinosaurs, but then my sewing machine decided it no longer wanted to cooperate.
Have a good weekend!
