Creativity.... Kind of Refreshing....

You know... after you had a really good workout, then take a shower and you just feel 100 times better??? Well that is the kind of feeling i had yesterday when i started to use my extra time to be creative. The finish product wasn't that bad, i think its kind of cute!!! Of course its for Taylor, she is my inspiration because she consumes my life! Really when we first moved to eau claire i was only concerned about finding a job, of course i found a job with only 2 people working there!! haha...and umm mid 30s men are not really my idea of friends to hang out with... then of course as you know, i got pregnant... well working was pretty much all brandon and I did the moment we found out we were expecting and pretty much every single cent went into our savings account... so we have lived here for almost 2 years and i have not made any effort to make any friends... i suppose i could attend church (woah that is a whole other post!) but i am not the kind of person to go to "mommy and me" classes... super uncomfortable... Anyway.... as you can tell, I pretty much made my own BFF...haha... she is my life and i love her sooo much!! The past few days Taylor has been taking 2 hour mid-morning naps... so it gives me time to work on little things for her... I asked for a sewing machine for christmas... because i wanted to make Taylor a quilt or something, ahh i don't think quilting is for me though.

Also, i am not going to be one of "THOSE" mom's... you know what i am talking about.... well, maybe you don't... but i know when i was in grade school the girls used to make fun of the other girls who wore clothes that were handmade... maybe times have changed... but that memory has always stayed with me... i never wanted to sew goofy looking clothes and put them on my older child.... now babies, toddlers... totally different, its just cute... but when you get to REAL school... kids are just plain mean and i am just not going to do that to my daughter...

Well here are a few projects that i have been working on... and I'm sure i will be making a lot more for my little sweetie, considering there is not much to do outside with all the snow... and i don't want to spend any money by going to the mall... so this is a little fun hobby that will help me pass the winter :) So as of today i have made taylor a pair of shoes, and two flower headbands!









P.S. No weight loss for last week... well the scale said this morning from last week .4 ounces gone... HAHA.. so i don't think it counts.. i did do my new jillian Michael's video yesterday and OMG i am hurting so bad today...and that was only level 1 I did!
