Grey

Orange

I decdided to join along in a week of color for some simple posts for this week considering my work load.

In a nut shell

Sew, press seams, repeat

Yep, that sums it up.

Hopefully everyone had as a productive day as I did.

Lets recap the week shall we?

This photo sums it up.

Sewing Room Friday

Monkey see monkey do? This was not staged she did it all on her own. While I was grabbing her pjs one night she showed me her newest trick. Love the last photo, she and I like to make faces at each other and this is a common one I make at her. ( I just realizedit looks like she is naked, she is not just wearing a diaper)

Thrifty Thursday

I go to the thrift store weekly, if I could I would go daily but I have learned if you go there everyday there seems to be less great "finds". I have a disease I know but I am ok with it (its a cheap one at that!) Here are a few of my latest favorites.

I have been wanting a butter dish for awhile but I didnt want your run of the mill, in enters a straight out of the 70's butter dish (yea!)

Not sure what this dish's original purpose was but now it has become a sugar dish. Isnt it pretty?

I love this watercolor print. I am creating a little sitting corner in our kitchen and this pulls everything together. Love it!

And finally the one thing I didnt think I would find, which just proves the more you wish for something you will get it. I bought this doll for Leila. I had been looking for an older doll for her that at least looked Asian. Also I was looking for a doll that was plastic but LOOKED like porcelain. In enters this oh so sad looking doll. She needs her lips repainted and maybe some new hair but her clothes look handmade (not vintage though) and I cant wait to make a whole new wardrobe for her. Leila already totes her around everywhere so I am thrilled.

Sniffle

Still sick.

Have a wonderful husband who after a long day of work comes home and makes me an entire pot of chicken (and cauliflower) soup to make me feel better. No matter how many "off" days we may have I know I have true love.

Yep true love is soup.
