Jack's Dinner Prayer

Jack's dinner prayer: "Thank you God for this food and for me having the funniest jokes in the whole world. Amen."

Unless You're A Shark.

Me: and if you did get lost, you could ask another mom, or someone who works there to help you. 

Jack: or a security guard.

J.D.: or a police man, because police are our friends.

Jack and Jonny: Police are our friends, NOT FOOD!

Jack: Unless you're a shark.

Crazy Lady Throw Progress

And it's functional!

The AFTER pictures.

You know I'm a bad blogger, right?

I never take before pictures even though there's always this moment where I go "you know what self? You should take a before picture." and then I go "NO! That's too much pressure! Why are you always PRESSURING ME?!" and then I'm all "CALM DOWN, WEIRDO."

Do you see what I'm dealing with here?

Anyway - here are the after pictures of my spray painted thrift store frames - I think they look awesome!

And last, but not least - my husband, J.D. was nice enough to Vanna White them for me:

What d'ya think?

Another mandala potholder

I got tired of only having this one, so I made this one:

Netbook, Kindle or Nook Covers & Boutique Bags

Here is a Boutique Bag that I made from this pattern, and modified to so it can now carry my Kindle Fire (or Bella's Nook, when she steals it)..

I thought about adding a pocket to the front for my phone, but I like what the stitches look like so much that I just left it naked.

This is the first one I attempted using Tangled Happy's pattern:

Obviously, I have to make another one now, because the girls think anything pink belongs to them. Which is true. Duh.

Giant Granny Square - Work in Progress

My newest project - a giant granny square blanket. I plan on making this one big enough to snuggle up under on the couch.

The black yarn is not reclaimed, but the teal/aqua colors are reclaimed from a sweater (that I did not get pictures of because I am a bad blogger). Here's a picture with Jack to show you the scale. And by 'show you the scale', I mean 'show off my cute red-head'.
