I sent in a tip to Parent Hacks and it got posted yesterday.  Check it out.

Sassy Apron Saturday

I read somewhere (?) that my partner (Hi, Aimee!)

actually did receive this package, so I feel safe in posting pictures of the contents that I sent for the Spring Sassy Apron Swap (see button on sidebar for Swap link).  That's a magnetic notepad, some vintage rick rack, an origami folded box (link to directions again on sidebar) with two naturally green and two quail eggs (blown), heart pins, and the folded apron.

Can you imagine paying 13 CENTS for a package of rick rack?  From Penney's?  Awesome.

This apron was made from a pattern that had a much wider waistband like an inverted V, but when I made it up that way, with a matching pocket no less, it looked terrible! And when I tried it on I just said "blech".  So I took it apart and changed the pocket and narrowed the waist.  Ahhh, much better. Thanks to my partner for her patience in having to wait for her package.

(That tree really leans, doesn't it?  Or else it's our house.)

A Blessed Holy Saturday and Happy Easter to you all.  See you in a few days.

Don't O.D. on the chocolate!

Check out the rad t-shirt my husband gave me for Christmas. 
HAHAHAHA
Oh, excuse me - I got all delusional for a minute.  In all honesty, my husband did not give this to me.  It was more like, "So what am I getting you this year, hon?" and I was all, "Don't you think 10 pm on Christmas Eve is a little late to be asking?" and he was all, "???"
Luckily I had anticipated this, and I bought myself a few things, this being one of them.  That's a skein of yarn looking all kooky there.  Check out this post of hers for an explanation.
