Projects

    Here are some of the projects I've completed in the last little while.


Carseat cover for the baby.



 The blanky I made for Jen

     I also made Dustin a blanket.  Made some blankets for the baby.  A nursing cover apron jig.  Bunky board.  And my latest obsession, subway art!  I printed some off for Baylee's room just a few days ago.  It turned out really cute, I love it!  Too bad my printer messed the colors up just a little bit.  But I found a website http://www.tagxedo.com/ which is free and really easy subway art.  They basically do it for you.  You type in what words and things you want, choose the color scheme and shape and it just makes if for you!  Then you print.  While it's cute and easy, it's also not completely in control by me.  Apparently I like to be in control and have things done precisely the way I want.  So I downloaded gimp.  A free photoshop program so I can make my own subway art the way I want to.  I haven't finished anything with it yet, it's a bit more complex and I guess I don't care enough yet to learn everything.  I'm excited though.

Projects to come (hopefully within the next year)

PVC fort for Baylee
Onesies from old t-shirts for baby
Staining kitchen table
Blankets and bibs for baby
Refurbishing some dressers and maybe other furniture from D.I.
Curtains for all our bedrooms
Headboard/bedframe for our bed
Duvet cover for our bed

....maybe I shouldn't have made this list.

A Little Too Much Tate...

Here is Tate, trying to get as far away from me as possible. He needs a diaper change and he knows it.  See how he's squishing it?  Gross.  He is throwing a tantrum though for whatever reason and doesn't want me to touch him, but wants his diaper changed. So it stands to reason that the best option would be to rip it off himself... And then climb into a bar stool.  Naturally.  Because that's what you do after you change your own bum.

Sweet Tater Bug

     Tate is such a sweetheart!  Here are some of the things he's said to me recently:      He's a sweetheart, yes, but also incredibly difficult.  He doesn't seem to listen.  He has a very hard time following simple orders and we get increasingly frustrated.  We clearly need to learn patience.  The kids were helping Dustin set something up when he got home from work.  He had asked the kids to stop touching certain things and after a few times of repeating himself and kids not listening, he got on Tate's case about it a little more.  Tate then came into the other room and told Baylee, "Sometimes I want to cry but I try really really hard not to and I go away from all my family."  How heartbreaking is that?!  He's my kid that, I thought, let everything roll right off of him.  He was able to easily move on and not get upset when he was in trouble or lovingly reprimanded.  I guess I need to pay more atte...
