Crafty Tuesday (kinda)

DSC_0072.jpg

Happy Tuesday, Everyone. Yes, it is indeed TUESDAY, although I’m sure I’m going to go through the day still believing it is Monday. Just like I believed I was going to have so much time each day to get projects done. Where in the world do my six, kid-free hours go every day?

I mean besides the laundry, cleaning and cooking…and the Girl Scout troop stuff, I guess. Oh, and soccer for Emma started last week and I’m the assistant coach again (BTW, our team is going to be really, really good this year! Em seems to be really into it and scored two goals in our practice this afternoon, so she is pumped up for the season.)…

And J and my soccer starts up in a week, we are going to play in the adult league on Sundays again. Although it will mess with our triathlon training a little bit. Our race is only eight weeks away, so we need to buckle down and get serious.

And ballet starts today. For both girls. After much anticipation and preparation…

So, yeah. Finding time to craft has been a little difficult. And even this past weekend when we didn’t have a lot planned, I just didn’t seem to get much accomplished.

Now Emma, on the other hand, she was on fire last week. She found this material with best friend monkeys on it (yes, this is her monkey pose)…

And decided to make pj shorts for herself and her very BFF, Audrey. She made the shorts and I made the little t-shirts to go along with them. I have to get some pics of the two of them in their matching pjs.

I’m also working on a few birthday gifts and a little re-deco of my living room. So hopefully I can find some time to finish those this week. We’ll see…

  1. All that and you STILL find time to make things?! I am so impressed (although not at all surprised) – not to mention I feel like a huge slacker! I am still working on (and only about half done with) a baby blanket that I started making in JUNE for goodness sake! Tell me your secrets for extreme productivity…I swear, I am all ears!

  2. Okay, Em made those shorts? Umm yeah, talent definitely runs in the family! It seems like you manage to sandwich in a whoole lot of stuff into your “unproductive” week there my friend. :) Oh, and Addie at the ballet bar? Big smile. :D

  3. Emma made the pants?! That is awesome that you are teaching her to sew. I am excited about my oldest doing soccer this year. I love the expression of Addie’s face in the one shot of them at ballet.

  4. I need a nap after reading your post. You are one busy mama. I really don’t know how you keep up with it all. I am doing good to get Harper to gymnastics twice a week. I love, love, love Emma’s pjs. So cute. She did a spectacular job. I have a couple of things up this week.

  5. Emma made those jammies? Can I send her my size for a pair? :)

    Great job!

    Oh yeah – read that list of accomplishments OUT LOUD to yourself….no slacker there!

  6. yeah, you’ve just got nothing going on these days at all. Sheesh, woman! I’m just wondering when you breathe. ;) WTG Emma, your pajamies are totally cute and you’ve got some our your mommy’s talent in your blood for sure!
