Slacker!

     I am a total slacker today.  I am sorry about that but I guess better late than never!  While I was slacking from posting, I did however to manage to get quite a bit accomplished though.  Oh, lets see.  I did my eleventy billion loads of laundry (even folded and put away, please hold your applause until the very end ladies and gentlemen) and then I did a few more loads.  Seriously the baby goes through 4-6 outfits a day.  I cleaned Camden's room (organized the toys and closet).  It was no easy task and he kept un-cleaning it as I cleaned.  I cleaned Harmony's room while Camden un-organized all her clothes in her closet.  The kitchen got thoroughly messed up when we made Rice Krispy Squares.  Lets just say a bowl of marshmallows didn't explode all over the microwave. Then I cleaned up the whole kitchen. I even sewed some more Christmas stuff.  In between being productive I wrapped presents, changed diapers, fed kids, put baby down to nap twice (Camden doesn't nap anymore LUCKY ME) and begged Mike to pick up something for supper. 

    So I may have been slacking in the writing department today but Mom's never get a day off and Christmas is coming rather quick and well stuff has got to get down.  It's all up to me.  Tomorrow might be another slacker day for me which means I will be so busy I may not get a chance to even sit down at the computer.

Special Edition Saturday - Etsy Anyone oh and Epicure!

     So I have been thinking (yes, I know very dangerous), after some urging from friends and family, I am possibly contemplating setting up an Etsy store

     I am looking for advice, tips, yays or nays....anything at all really.  Is it hard to set up? Is it worth my time?  Do I need a cool name (this may be hard because I am so not cool)?

   I am wee bit scared and a wee bit excited.  So if anyone has any experience out there and would like to share some wisdom with me, I would really appreciate that.  If you don't have any experience with this and you still want to tell me how much you love me and how talented I am (You can pretend) you can do that too! Everyone needs a confidence boost once in a while.

   As a reminder,  I am holding an Epicure Party at my house Monday night at 7pm.  Would love to see you there.  Bring a friend and there is no pressure to buy anything.  I may force you to try some delicious food though!  Be sure to message me, call me, leave me a comment if you are coming so I can add you to the list of people to let in my house....HAHAHAHA! Everyone welcome, but just let me know so we can make sure there is plenty of food! If you can't make it but want to order you can either  drop by and look through the catalogue and order or you can order online.  If you plan to order online, let me know and I will get you the info you need so it can be added to my party.

     Have a good weekend everyone.  Be safe and have fun!

Felt Food Feast

     It may or may not look like someone threw up a felt food feast all over my dining room.  OK, if you know me and my crafting ability you already know what me and my dining room looks like while I craft (Yes, I am sure Michele and a few others will never let me live down the Modge Podging experience of 2006).  There are threads and bits of felt everywhere, as far as the eye can see.  Usually not a big deal, who cares right, its my house.

     Company is coming over for dinner.  Like a real home cooked dinner not of the felt variety and they may want to eat it off the table without coloured fuzzy bits all over the pork loin.  It's literally everywhere. Its on my PJ pants, it was on the baby when I got her out of bed.  It even managed to migrate downstairs into Camden's room.

     Maybe, I will just feed them a felt dinner and tell them Camden cooked?

     Yes, these pictures are just a couple from last years but I can't post pictures of the new stuff yet.  Ella likes to read this. Plus if I took pictures of the new stuff it would just have been a procrastination to avoid cleaning up said mess...
