Sooo Much to Do!

So I wasn't able to fit in any sewing after work today, meaning it'll have to wait until tomorrow.  I'll be a busy chick this weekend!

To do: 
Superhero cape for Owen
Organizing in the office
Laundry (Does it ever end?)
Attend birthday parties #1 and #2
Clean this nasty house!

OH.

And planning a birthday party for a certain little chickie who's about to turn *gasp*

FIVE.

Yeah.

Finally Friday - Giveaway Ending Tonight!!

This has been an incredibly long week.  It seems today took forever to get here!

I officially have one week left at my current job before starting the new one, and I have to admit it's an emotionally draining process.  I'm basically focusing my time on finishing my current projects as much as possible and working to train my team to carry my duties until a replacement comes along.  This is a task in and of itself, but I keep getting visits from my staff, pleading with meto stay. I guess I should be flattered, but their comments really tug at my heartstrings as I slowly try to break away from the family I've known for the past 5 and a half years.

It's sad.

But I'm so excited.

See how this could be draining?

I'm hoping to finish up a little early today so I can make it home for some sewing before I pick up the girls.  If I'm not so lucky, I probably will have to delay crafting to the nighttime... so expect some project pics tomorrow!  I have a ton I want to do...

Oh, and if you haven't signed up for the Lollipop Kids felt cookie giveaway, hurry!  It ends tonight at midnight!!

A Rose of a Tutorial...

I was waiting on dh to get home from the gym this morning, so I decided to take on some early morning crafting.  This tutorial for Rose Barrettes is from the purl bee, a fabulous site for crafters of all types.  If you haven't visited the purl bee, you must do so right away!  And while you're at it, sign up for the email updates - that's how I was alerted of this great tutorial!

It's beautiful, tiny, girly things like these that make me so happy to be a mommy to two little chickies.  What fun would it have been to make this, knowing it wouldn't grace my girls' blonde strands??

I'm digging into my felt stash to see if I can come up with some more color combinations... whee!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Can anyone else get through this day without thinking of this?



ME EITHER!  Love it!

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY TO YOU!!
