What a weekend!

Sorry this post is a bit late I had such a crazy weekend, I had to play a bit of catch up today. And now I feel compelled to share my story with you. I was dog sitting for my Sister-in-law Saturday, when my hubby went to their house (3 houses down from us) he found that the dogs had, had a bit of fun. So of course he came straight home to tell me about the mess down their (at HIS brothers house) so I went down to clean up a little mess, only to find it wasn't so little. It took me over two hours to clean their mess. Try and picture this, if you can... The dogs ripped up a large teddy bear so there were beads and stuffing everywhere, got hold of my nieces purse full of makeup so there was eye shadow and mascara all in the rug, got hold of my other nieces binder and text book and tore them to shreds from one end of the house to the other. He even got her batting helmet and ate all the foam padding out of the inside,(still not sure how he managed that one) not to mention clothes dragged throughout and then to top it all off, they piled as much up as they could in the play room and went to the bathroom on it, yes both numbers ugh!! This is how I started off my weekend. I finished cleaning this mess just in time to rush out the door to a teachers meeting for Vacation Bible School, then back to pick up my Daughter from a baby sitting class at the YMCA. However, there was one moment of happiness in my day. I was lucky enough to make it to a craft fair down the street from my house just before they closed and looky what I got This little number was hand made in the early 60's by the mother of the lady who sold it to me. It is soo cute and the best part... I got it for a buck yeah, you read it right one whole dollar, I also got some very nice cotton knitted dish cloths. I am lovin' them, let me tell you, they are the best! (I really need to learn to knit) Soooo anywho that night I slept at SIL's house with the dogs so I wouldn't have another mess to clean up, and the 100 pound puppy wanted to snuggle. He woke me up about every 20 minutes pressing his nose to mine, tired as I was, it was still really sweet (yes I am an animal lover) So that was Saturday, then Sunday the rain stopped and the sun shined down on my little plot of soon to be garden, and I got to plant all my little seedlings. Of course my hubby, children and even BIL all gave me their sympathy for my little garden that is most likely going to die, if for no other reason than it's mine. I just ignored them. I am determined to make this garden grow. I'll be doin' alot of praying, that's for certain :) While I was doing all of this my darling children were making as many messes as possible, this of course means I spent my whole day today cleaning up from the weekend and now here I sit trying to catch up on something I enjoy. (My silly little blog) So if I haven't bored you to death, here is a sneak peek at the almost apron I plan on giving away very soon. As you can see I have not sewn anything together yet or embellished it at all, but I promise when it's done it'll be super cute! I spent the little time I could have been sewing today trying to figure out how to make that darn "Grab a Button" thing and it still isn't right. If anyone can offer help I would love you forever :) And that folks is the end of my ramblings for the day.

Good night all!!
