Finally on Etsy

I finally listed something on Etsy yesterday. I have been really nervous about selling my stuff, but, hey who couldn't use a little extra cash right now? I should be listing some other things shortly, including some children's play tents and maybe a softie doll or two. I have also been thinking about felt crowns. Check out my Etsy mini on the sidebar!

oh, and here is my latest felt creation. This stemmed from a wrong turn down a toy aisle full of shiny, plastic Buzz Lightyears. I paused, looked at my children, and out it came, "Mommy, can we have that?" OH NO!!!! "Then can you make us one?" Wow, I love the fact that they think I can make anything, but it is a little intimidating sometimes to approach these projects. My kids definitely push my ability limits, but that's a good thing, right!?

Out of the Loop

Okay, so I have definitely not kept up with my blog like I promised myself. Very reminiscent of the diaries I started every New Year throughout my adolescence that typically fizzled out about March. Not going to happen here!!!

The birthday party went well. I think that everyone enjoyed themselves. A received many nice gifts. It was so nice that everyone was on board or at least respected our choice to provide our children with simple, non-toxic, environmentally-friendly toys. So thanks to everyone!!!
It is hard to narrow down what her favorite gift was, and A both have enjoyed all of the gifts. Little M spent most of the party sleeping. I had bought her the cutest organic cow print onesie for the party, but you can't make a 4-month old live by your schedule!

Beyond the birthday party, I have been working on getting the girls school room set up. We've decided to go ahead and start K on her kindergarten curriculum a year early as she already pretty much surpasses all of the requirements. My sister and I painted the room this past Saturday. Each of the 4 walls is a different color. The colors are red, blue, green, and yellow. Now I need to get back in there and do touch up work on the paint, paint the furniture (which I got an awesome deal on at www.edswoodcrafts.com), get everything organized, and get all of the visual aids hanged.

Got sleepy kids, so more catching up tomorrow. Here's a picture of my latest project. The girls wanted Veggie Tales dolls, and they got them!
