Vacation

I have been feeling like I’m running behind and I can’t seem to get caught up.  Add in kids going back to school, an out of town guest, and a husband going back to work and I am exhausted AND running around in circles!
I have been making tons of progress with the clutter and I am getting so much more organized (BTW, I am completely in LOVE with my new planner), but the craftiness has been slacking.  organizer and knitting A lot of my projects are just getting slapped together and some of them aren’t even getting finished before I move on to the next thing.  I’m not really as proud or as excited about some of these projects and that is just not me.  I have decided the best way to fix this it to take a couple of weeks off from blogging.  I want to keep going with the de-cluttering and organizing mission that I have been on and I also want to get back on track creatively, so I’ll have fun and exciting new projects to share here.  Now would be the perfect time to check out the tutorial or favorite tabs, there is also pinterest to inspire your craftiness while I’m away. I’ll be checking in on Twitter and posting a few updates on the Facebook page too.  If that’s not enough you can always send me an email :D
See you back here in a couple of weeks!

I May Have Broken the Baby

I do crafty stuff almost everyday, some days I get to do more than others, but here lately life has gotten in the way.  Having two different sicknesses hit our house this month has really drained everyone, especially me.  To make things more complicated I may have broken the baby.  Little Man has been the best baby ever, he’s happy all the time, likes everyone, stops crying the minute you pick him up, is curious and active and usually goes to sleep whenever he is put into his crib, but here lately he has completely given up sleeping at night.  Every night he kicks and screams and cries to fight sleeping, it’s crazy.  He’s not hungry, diaper’s nice and fresh, all his favorite blankies are there, nothing has changed.  He still takes his naps just fine, but no, he doesn’t want to sleep at night and if he can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.  Last night on the fifth time I went to feed him and re-tuck him in I notice this, look down by his hands:bite marks Those are teeth marks, he’s been gnawing on his crib like a beaver.  That can’t be good.   I checked to see if he was teething and I’m not seeing any swelling or new teeth, but maybe the ones he has are giving him fits.  I normally keep a blanket over the side of the crib, but he has been pulling it off, I’m going to have to find a way to keep the blanket up there.  I also need to get him back into his routine, but so far, it’s not going well.  Maybe I’ll get him fixed this weekend.

My point is that I haven’t gotten a lot of my current projects wrapped up enough to share.  I’ll admit that sometimes the paint is still wet or I might need to go back and snip a few thread or put a few more finishing touches on things before they’re completely done, but usually they are done enough to share.  I ran out of time this week.  I’m working on my normal half a dozen projects with plans to start more, but nothing is even close to finished although I am having a great time working on them all.

If you have any suggestions to get Little Man sleeping again at night DO let me know and Have a super crafty weekend!!!
