Help

Okay everyone, I need some help. I am finishing up all my garments for the contest and I have hit a snag. I need some opinions. Will you guys please visit my sewing blog at www.snobbysewer.blogspot.com and view my newest post about the sneek peek tops and let me know what you guys think. I need some help with deciding if I should do buttons and a couple of other Q's Thanks guys.

I don't know about you...

I don't know about you but sponges are the absolute most disgusting things in the kitchen. I cannot stand when the following things happen 1) they fall in the sink, get wet and proceed to sit in there all night long B) once they have fallen into said sink they fester ad grow millions upon millions of bacteria. 3) people use hem to clean my counters, GROSS! that is pretty much just wiping germs onto my counter tops. And yes I am a freak when it comes to the places where I prepare my food. Yes, I am fully aware that I am a freak about sponges but I believe that they are the most vile utensile ever. Those genius' over at clorox are amazing, I live off of clorox wipes.

Happy Birthday Miss Hailey

Yet again I am late on a birthday posting. Miss turned 3 on may 25th. I cannot believe that she is already 3 years old it has gone by way too fast. She is so much fun and such a blessing to our house. I think sometimes she keeps me sane. She is unlike any of our other kids. She is alot like Heath and I she is quiet, and a self entertainer, the girl will play by herself for hours, its fantastic. Anyone who knows her will tell you she is a little priss. She is such a girl it is not even funny. She lovesshoes, dresses, princesses, makeup and nail polish and diamonds, just like all princesses do. This little one is such a drama queen too, I think it comes from having an older brother and Daddy who pretty much give her whatever she wants whenever she wants.

I love this pic of her "mean face" I believe Leila was trying t steal her water bottle. She's FIERCE!
So here are some pictures from her birthday party we had so much fun.

This is her awesome cake, the pink cake was three stacks and the chocolate is two. She said she wanted a princess castle with all the pincesses and princes.

This would be what Leila looks like most of the time. The girls favorite thing to say is "I EAT!" which means give me something to eat or I will yell my head off. But how cute is she shoveling food into her mouth.

well we love our little Miss and cannot wait to see what she suprizes us with this year. She has been cursed the last few years. every birthday something huge has happened to her, right after birth she has a seizure, birthday #1 has to have surgery on her booty for a abcess, birthday #2 she falls 6'' off the couch and breaks her leg and gets a cast I am afraid of what will happen this year. Maybe we have broken it and nothing will happen. Happy Birthday my cute one.

Glasses

So anyone who knows me knows that I wear glasses and that I have a million pairs, okay more like 7 but in glasses world that is alot. I am not a woman of great money but I like to be pretty stylish and I HATE to pay big prices for things. So many people ask me how I can afford to have so many pairs of glasses. Well it is your lucky day I am going to share with you my secret.

I Get my eyes checked at eithwr Wal-Mart for $60 or I find a special where I get eyecheck and 2 pairs of glasses for $60. I then take my prescription and measurements and go to a very MAGICAL website called zenni optical. At zenni optical I can choose from hundreds of glasses ranging from $8 to $20. They are really cute too. The price includes frames and prescription glass. For an extra $5 you can get anti-reflective coating. For another $5 you can get tint aka.sunglasses. The best part is...shipping is only 5 bucks no matter how many you order. These are the 2 I just ordered

I had these before and Hailey broke them. There was no need to yell because I only spent $5 on them.

Yes I am fully aware that they are old man glasses, but now with my genius and $5 tint they are some really cute sunglasses
So total I spent $25 on 2 pairs of glasses and one pair are sunglasses. I think my total elsewhere would have been like $250. I hope this has helped all you glasses wearers out there. and you who wear contact lenses I am sure you probably need a backup pair of glasses. Please let anyone who wears glasses know about this little gemsite. I hope this helps

Busy, busy

So Why has it been so long since I have blogged? Well, let me fill you in on last week. I am getting ready for a sewing contest, I have to use simplicity patterns. They are not ready yet but here are a few teaser pictures.

This is a skirt for one of my outfits. It is this awesome purple brocade with an asian print on it. It is embelished with black piping in the seams, and it looks amazing.

Outfit number 2 is a cheetah print high waisted skirt that will have some black satin faux pockets on the front.

I did a skirt for a friend, that is really cute I may end up making myself one.
Mo's preschol had a little water party so we went to that. He also had his graduation, pics still to come.


Here are a couple of pictures. The little brunette is Kaitlin and I am pretty sure he has a little crush. At one point he was resting his hand on her leg...it was so cute.

And of course little miss "I will never stop nursing". That;s right if she isn't nursing then we are fighting about nursing. I cannot get her to stop and it is driving me crazy. I think I may have to go cold turkey on this one.

We are doing some home repair. These are our new door knobs, aren't they cute, I love them. We had the hideous gold ones before.

And let us not forget girls camp preperations. This is the leaders flag which still is not done, but I am getting to I promise.

One zipper alteration, For my sis-in-law.

And then there was the 2 swimsuit alterations and a pair of swimshorts, And let us not forget the dailey laundry and dish exploits either. And lets throw in Heaths 2 migrains this week also. This was a week where I thought I would die. But I got it ll done and had enough time to spare for my fantastic husband and children.

Making a door-- part deux

So FINALLY here is the finished product. Sorry it has taken me so long to post it. My next post will explain my absence more fully. Anyways I think the door turned out pretty cool. it is painted like a cave and then we did a vinyl sticker of a dragon in the cave. Mo helped so much and loves it he shows it to everyone.


Thanks to my sis Melissa for helping me paint it, you are great and we miss you. And thank you Sue for the sticker it makes the door so awesome. And thanks to Heath for not being upset that we turned the door into a fearsom cave, he puts up with so much from his crazy wife.
