like a hurricane

She came, she ate, she sewed, she left.

It was awesome.

I’m happy to say that we completed every single one of the items on “the list.” Well, except one, and I’m still working on it. It’s a beast. Don’t ask me how it’s going.

Isn’t she purdy? She’s available too, any eligible suitors should forward all financial records and background checks to me. And then stand in line…Priority will be given to anyone who resides in Colorado and doesn’t mind having a needy sister-in-law for a neighbor. thankyouverymuch.

I’m pretty sure Kelsey is at home right now doing something like this. She needs to detox from the kids, the noise, the dumb sewing questions and the massive amounts of sugar and butter we consumed during the week. ha!

We worked diligently on this little guy. We actually made two of them – one for Kelsey and one for miss sassy pants Rowan. Kelsey will kill me for letting the zebra out of the bag, but she did say he is helping her sleep better through the night. It must be his piercing blue eyes and warm embrace. swoon!

Hopefully he will have the same effect on Rowan. soon!

We tried to channel our inner girl scout and make Thin Mints. They turned out more like Thick Mints, but they were still pretty tasty!

We also tried Samoas. Ryan said they were more like Tongans, they were a little larger in stature, but that didn’t affect the taste. They were pretty close to the real thing. mmmmm.

We finished this handbag just in time to welcome Spring. I can definitely see more of these in my future. Immediate future that is.

We ventured out to the Flea Market, and unfortunately, the only thing worth buying was fruit – of the exotic variety.  cheap, cheap! It was a good excuse to cook up something fancy and pretend that pb&j isn’t a main staple of my diet.

I can honestly say that D&B were pretty much neglected the whole time. They were pretty good at fending for themselves; if we forgot to feed them they ever so kindly ask for a banana and a string cheese and went merrily on their way.  If you want to know the whole truth, Brinley wore those pajamas for two days straight. They played outside most of the time; we threw them a bone once in a while….pretended to care, etc.  You know… 🙂

Our granny panties eventually transformed into a super stylin’ shopping cart cover. Photo courtesy of my cell  phone… Rowan is a big fan! And so is the kind lady in the background. We had to take it for a test drive before we stitched the main components down. The pattern was muy confuso. —-> I picked up some Spanish at the Flea Market. It wasn’t a total bust.

Kelsey & I must have taken our food photography a little too seriously. Drew made me this handy dandy little backdrop. It even has a spot marked out for circle cookies, and square cookies.

I guess he wasn’t permanently damaged by being ignored for a week.
