We Just Stay Home And Lie Around...

Happily enjoying lying around and doing nothing today.

And by nothing I do mean cleaning the house, doing laundry, feeding and clothing two children and trying to stay cool.

I love being a stay-at-home pirate...

The Craft Cache Is Overflowing...

I have a ton of sewing/repurposing ideas in my craft cache. Of course, getting to them requires time, time and some more time. I don't have much spare time lying around lately. If you happen to have extra time lying around unused, feel free to donate it to this grateful recipient.

Here is just a quick sample of what is floating around the crafting blogisphere that is catching my eye and making the sewing bugs bite:

Anthropologie Top Tutorial over at My Mama Made it

Corsage Tee Tutorial over at Enchantresses Three

Ruffle Tube Top Tutorial over at Happy Together

Toddler Purple Ruffle Dress Tutorial also at Happy Together

GAH! They are all so cute and fun! Methinks Mama needs a sewing staycation as these tutorials have whet her sewing appetite.

That, and a serger...

Our Sleep Schedule May Be A Thing Of The Past...

Oh.

Hi there.

Yep, I'm still here...sorta.

We've been rather busy running around crazy-like.

Tell me, how does ones house manage to get trashed from top to bottom when you aren't even there? We packed up each and every morning and hung out at my Mom and Dad's house every day while my brother and sis-in-law were visiting.

And my house got trashed.

While no one was home.

It's a mystery.

I've been busy cleaning up my mysteriously trashed house and trying to regain a semblance of order.

I am currently trying to gently remind my beloved offspring that they used to have a somewhat normal sleep schedule. For the 15 pound offspring it is working quite well. Very compliant and adjustable that one.

As for the OTHER ONE.

Let's just say it isn't going so great. Let's also just say that the gentle reminder has morphed into a different kind of reminder. One that might involve tying the door shut with a scarf as the 31.6 pound offspring may have figured out how to launch over the gate blocking his doorway.

As I said, it's not going so great.

Many tears and gnashing of the teeth.

I know I know, I've got to get myself under control...
