Winner With Her Prize

I thought it would be fitting to post a pic of the winner with her prize. I like having pics or atleast seeing pics of the item I have made with its new owner. By the way, hop on over to Works in Progress... and have a look at Annie Rose, in New Zealand, in her new hat!!!!! She is adorable! The hat can take no credit for that!

Just for the record, Kylie, tried to refuse the hat, because of the way it would look and when I told her that I am making another one right away, she said ok and that she would not enter the next drawing, but only help me out by posting it. Very noble! Thanks Kylie!

She was none too thrilled about having this pic taken, so I might be in trouble, but what else is new!?!?

Gotta go find something "productive" to do while the kiddies are asleep!

I don't think I mentioned that today is my husband's birthday! We celebrated it all on FD, so there will be no party, but it IS his b-day just the same.

Enough rambling already!

Have a great day!

Serious Adult ADHD!

I think that I might lose my mind! I get up around 6:20 each morning with a smile on my face and an attitude that says, "I am ready to face the day!" Maybe not, but it was worth a try!

I wake up ready to bust! Bladder is a little worn after 4 children! I put Meeeeema in the crib, because she has been sleeping with me AGAIN and I run off to make her a bottle, yes bottle, before she wakes up and wakes everyone else too! I have to wash the bottle, because we thought she would have quit this habit long ago and there are only two left. The sound of the running water makes my bladder scream! I run to the bathroom and fix that problem. I wash my hands hurriedly and run back to the bottle and finish making it. I take it in to the bedroom and deposit the bottle in the crib. I go back to the kitchen and start my tea. It is crappy, but splendid tasting, prepackaged tea, so I just put it in the cup and use the hot water from our water machine to fill it. I stir it quickly and head back to my room to put my bra on before anyone spots me! Again, 4 kids...

I sit down in my room with my tea. Destined to spend very little time alone, before the sound of little feet invade my head, I try to figure out what I can do with my time. I decide the computer chair suits me better, so I head out here. I look through all of my favorite sites, as my oldest son gets ready for summer school. (BTW, I have had to nearly set off a bomb to wake him up somewhere in between the bottle and the bra!) I do this relishing every moment alone, but wait, what about all of my crocheting projects that I want to work on? What can I do before someone takes my piece of alone away? I go back to my room and find a project. Right now, I am working on a hat for Tina's charity, http://tinasboyz.blogspot.com/ is where you can find her blog. I could not resist the chance to come in and blog about how much of a frenzy I work myself into in the mornings, so now I am back out here! Crazy, huh? It is almost scary!

I guess, since the old brain is shifting gears again, I am going to go back to my room and crochet the rest of that hat while they are almost all still asleep! And, honestly, I feel like I should be doing my yoga! Yep, another brain blip!

Have a great day!

This Hand Made Clutch...

To be perfectly honest, I am giving away this cute little hand made clutch that I have just finished, in order to get my "name out there" in the Etsy world! I know that many people do giveaways so that someone will follow their blog and that is where I got the idea! I just know that I am fairly new to the Etsy world and there has to be a better way to get my store in circulation.
With that said, I will enter your name in the race to win this little cutie, no not the one seen below, if you post a blog about my blog giveaway! Send me a link to your blog letting me know you did it. Also, for every person who says they came to my blog, because of what they saw on your blog, I will give you another entry! Does this sound fair? I sure hope so, remember, I am new to all of this giveaway stuff!

Oh, and I will try to keep my little cutie from taking this little cutie over! She is just smitten with so many of the things that I make! She can't help herself!

Oh, and you can find me at MoMmAb7.etsy.com ! Thanks!!!

I will close this in exactly one week, which is Wednesday, June 24th. Let's say around 4p.m. central time and I will announce the winner no later than Thursday at the same time. Deal? Good!

New Hats for the Girls!

Boog's new hat!
Meeeeema's new hat!

I made these really great hats for the girls! My sister showed me how to make Marcia's, now famous, Jaida's hat! Of course, I never do anything quite "by the book," but they are still too darned cute!
