Sunday Studio Straight

Here is a great You Tube video on a good method for folding all that wonderful fabric we can't live without!

Playing catch up!

I have been so swamped since before Christmas and I have been wanting to get back to my blog. I have been trying to decide what kinds of things I would like to start including and the direction I want my blog to grow. I love tutorials. I am always trying a new medium or technique and I am going to start highlighting my favorites every Thursday.

I am also completely crazy for fabric! I mean, isn't everyone? I am sure I will never have enough or a good enough way to store all that "treasure" that I just can't live without. So I am searching for new and creative ways to store or stay organized in my studio. Having said that, I will start highlighting those great ideas on Sunday.

Babies....

I am a firm believer in the idea that every child is a gift from God. And I think that it is only right to honor that arrival with a party! So I hosted a baby shower for my girlfriend Suzanne. I don't often entertain in my home, primarily due to the other 10 people who live here! But, this is a special time. Suzanne is expecting her 6th baby, but she also has one adopted daughter and two foster children. It was so much fun and the house (for one brief moment) looked great!

Tip Junkie! Who knew?

I am always looking for fun, new ways to save money, decorate my house or find a bargain. This fun site had loads of great ideas and tips. Right now they are hosting a " Tip Junkie Mom-prenuer Shop-a-thon buy from women this holiday season!"

They are looking for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Holiday ideas, so submit your blog posts so I can feature you. They are also having 12 days of fun holiday give aways, so pop in and check it out!

The gift of Education....

Today, I replaced the printer in the kindergarten classroom. Thomas' teacher has been without a printer for sometime. David was sweet enough to go install it for her during his lunch break today, so they should be up and running (probably the printer and the kids)!

Tuesdays are always so crazy in our house, primarily it is scout day. That's when the boys and girls all have meetings and lately it is also basketball practice day. It's insane. My good deed on this busiest of days was to help out another parent, who like me, is a private taxi service.

They don't live here in town, they commute 30 minutes from the next nearest town. So after school, I kept their son, while they ran home, fed their kids and then drove all the way back up to Guthrie, for their daughter's basketball practice.

Sometimes, it's just nice to get a minute to catch our breath!
