accomplishment

I am so proud of myself! I set out to ACCOMPLISH something and was rewarded well with my finished project.
I usually dont gloat about my finished products but I was so proud! I think its okay once in a while to tell everyone you know about your accomplishment, it could be running your first race, finishing (or starting) that pile of laundry that has been on your floor for days, cleaning out the pantry, sewing your first blanket, or taking a dance class. Whatever is on your list of things to accomplish I think they are all worthy of a little gloating once in a while!!
Now a few of these projects listed above are on my list to accomplish but the one I am sharing today is my first TUTU. My friends little girl will turn 4 on Easter and I thought I would set my sights high and make a tutu. I am so happy with the outcome that I will definently be making more!
STEP 1: pick the colors, 2 yards of each-hot pink, white, purple and green


STEP 2: take your elastic and sew together (after measuring the waste of course)
STEP 3: cut material into 4-6 inch long strips
STEP 4: cut in various lengths and tie to the elastic
STEP 5: have your beautiful daughter try on the tutu and model!





THE FINISHED PROJECT!!
now you may not understand the shirt but our friends The Andersons love the Beatles. So this shirt happen to be the inspiration for the colors of the TUTU!



WOW, what a great ACCOMPLISHMENT!

When it rains.....it pores:)

So here I am visiting the great town of wenatchee- great friends good family and two children! A two year old and a 6 week old. Never have I traveled this far ( 2 1/2 hours) by myself with them and the trip there- fantastic!! Well on the way home I was stopped by a road crew blowing up rocks- 20 minute delay- okay, so we wait the twenty minutes. We pass the flagger and of course it has been 2 hours since I fed the newborn so its time to eat she screams- we make it to the rest stop and POW its closed, so we pull over! Then in the middle of feeding my two year old yells POTTY MOMMY, POTTY MOMMY- great- I say. So I give her the option to go outside- NO WAY so I say " lets put on your sisters diaper and just this one time you can go in a diaper" NO WAY aaaaaaaaaaaa- what do I do...well, there is a fruit stand up the road! So we hop in the car, get to the fruit stand and I plead my case- YES they say, you can use the toilet!!!
okay, I think we are good to go...but of course we get behind three truckers!!!
So long story short our 2 1/2 hour trip ends up taking us almost four and we make it home to a loving husband and father and a batch of peanut butter cookies from the neighbor!
I guess there is always a rainbow at the end of a rainstorm- HUH?
