Summer Break

I started to write this yesterday. Had a good 2 paragraphs and I somehow deleted the whole thing while typing. That exemplified what I was trying to write so I just closed my computer & went on with my day.

I'm noticing that some people are visiting me occasionally, I'm assuming because of my photos on KCWC. When I first got some activity from that, I was so excited! I was finally going to get this blog rolling! School was nearly out & I would make blogging a higher priority. I planned my Mommy Clothing Challenge. And then I had a change of heart. I was doing what I do: read blogs from front to back. I enjoy this so much - I love watching the children grow into babies, discover how the writer's style changed over time. This particular time though, I got embarrassed. I realized what a voyeur I am. And I thought, "I don't want people reading about me right now five years in the future." And that is probably the true block to me ever putting more effort into my blog. So there it is. I've finally given up the dream of a successful blog, but not because of lack of effort, which feels good.

So thanks for peeking in & maybe occasionally I'll post something, but don't count on it. :)

Enjoy your summer!

MCWC - Day 2

I can only claim the snaps towards today's hour. The rest was sewn over weeks and weeks as my project at my "Stitch n Bitch" group. Seriously, I can not believe how many Wednesdays it took me to finish these. But they are done now, snapped & sitting snugly in my drawer. COST: $0 - all supplies in stash
 
 And those flowers from yesterday? Here's what I did with them. Sorry for the dreary picture. It's raining today. On the first day of Summer Vacation. At least I'd already promised the kids a whole day of pajamas & me not telling them even once to turn off the TV or Wii. I did spend more time today than just an hour. The kids were playing Wii & I was listening to Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins on audio book. I just kept sewing. I was just covering up stains on this T-shirt. I was inspired by this dress over at - oh NO! I can't find it. Darn - why didn't I pin it! I'll have to go looking again. Anyone know a sewing blog who's hosting a sundress week? Well, I'll find it & let you know.
COST: $1 for the panel of lace at the thrift store

In the meantime, leave a link below to show me what you worked on today!

MCWC - Day 1

Yes, Yesterday was supposed to be day one. It took me until 10pm to start my hour. How 'bout you? After my hour of cutting flowers out of lace, I didn't take a pic or post. So here it is - my hour's work from Day 1. What did you make on Sunday? Leave a link below to your creation. I decided to not make a flickr group. And I planned a vacation right at the end of this week. So I won't even be participating in the last two days of my own challenge. Go me. Maybe I will tuck in some extra time here & there...
