Rawlins cake

This is Rawlins Caterpillar cake, I don't really like it, but whatever.

Luc's cake

Happy first Birthday Lucas, I had fun making his cake, the polka dots are just fruit rollups cut the with scissors. I uses a 9x9 pan for the bottom and a bread pan for the top, cut it in half it was a perfect square. I decided to just buy a cute bow for the top to make it look more like agift.

Two Dishtowel Apron

This is the "two dishtowel apron" we will be making for enrichment. I will make a tutorial soon, it has two pockets and is pretty thick. You need fairly large dishtowel, I found these at target, and approx 2 or 3 yards of ribbon, Thanks Mel for modeling.
I kinda made this up or I would give the credit to whomever else did. I am sure its been done before though.

My plan to survive Spring Break

#1 chore charts and strict rules of no playing til done. (adding to their chore charts a few spring cleaning jobs to really help me out!)

#2 A list of friends who are NOT out of town for spring break

#3 Mugs - During Christmas Break they each had a cute christmas mug to drink out of, They have been placed next to the sink.

#4 Snack boxes - Their lunch boxes have been filled with their snacks for the day. NO RAIDING THE CUPBOARDS. I get sick of putting boxes of snacks crackers granola bars away and then putting them away, and not to mention sweeping up the crumbs constantly.

#5 A list of activities they can do on their own without my help or little help. New crafts, or easy treats to bake etc. I don not want to hear I'm Bored. Nope not gonna put up with it.

#6 A little one on one date with mom sometime during break for each kid.

#7 A special surprize for no fighting. I've actually allready been doing this one for a week and its been AMAZING. I am all about Bribes/rewards.

#8 Emergency numbers on speed dial. Including Jeff and CPS.

A few new things

I finally got around to making a pin cushion, it was badley needed since I have been sewing a little more than I used to.

this other jewelry are some of the things I made while I was in Boise for Presidents day. And they are my fav. jewelry that I have made. ♥

This is my next project. You know when life calms down.
