I won!!!!

I won a $50 gift certificate from The Vintage Pearl in Tulsa!!!! She has the cutest jewelry! I ordered the dainty drops with Hunter's name and his September birthstone! Above is a picture off her website. The dainty drops are the middle picture. Aren't they cute! I'm so excited!!!!

Soggyness

It's raining. Again. Wanna know why? Beacuse I'm wearing white. Again. If anyone wants it to rain in Oklahoma, just give me a call and tell me to wear a white shirt, because, apparently, that's the key.

Not only is it raining, my son made me cry this morning. Why? Because I went into his room this morning to get him up out of bed and he had such a look of little man-ness that I just couldn't hold back the waterworks! He's not a baby anymore. My little snuggly 8 month old, is a little man, no doubt about it! He's almost walking and well, he's not little anymore! If anyone knows of a remedy to slow this growing thing down, call me!

So, I got the call that my sewing machine is ready to be picked up, after the hunder dollar bill is forked over, which gives me heart failure just thinking about it. BUT, I found a coupon from them in my email inbox for $20 off! Yay! Now, to get my heathen of a brother to hand over the cash before the coupon expires next weekend! Think it'll happen.......uh no. Food's not nearly as essential as my sewing machine, right?

Update on THE machine

So.........I have finally recieved the phone call that I've been waiting 4 weeks for: my sewing maching is done! I wish I was more excited, but, alas, I am not. Why you ask? Because it's gonna cost me $100 to get it out of hock! Actually, it'll cost my bro $100 to get it out of hock or I'm bringing out the waterworks. It just seems crazy to me that my $20 sewing machine find (that I never got to use) is now costing $100 to even start my first project on it!

On a much happier note: The Quilt Crazy quilt show is goin on this weekend at the Expo in Tulsa and I'm super, super excited about it! I can't wait to see all the beautiful quilts on display! I even know a few of the ladies who have entries! Must not forget to bring the camera to bring home a few ideas!

Giveaway

Dawn has changed her blog name to As sweet as cinnamon and is having a giveaway!!!!! Go there and see!!!!!!!

Nada

This is really just a post to say that I have nothing new to post. I'm still wallowing in my lack of sewing machine-ness. My brother must have really done a number of my poor machine for it to take this long! There had better not be any more boy hands touching my sewing machine once I finally have it back in my possesion! I would really like to be working on new projects, but alas, nada......someday.......

Auntie Em...A Twister! A Twister!

All my childhood memories of watching The Wizard of Oz were very nearly brought to life last night! Instead of being at home with my family, all safe and sound, where was I???? At Zumba.....on the complete opposite side of town! I was just waiting for the flying monkeys to go zooming by! I even heard that my poor friend, Calianna, was made to take cover in the walk-in freezer of a Panera Bread! Just think of all the yumminess to be surrounded by! Is it bad that not only was I concerned for my safety on getting home, but even more concerned that a tornado would hit the house and my fabric stash would be gone with the wind?! Scarlett would have nothing on me!

Mental Health Weekend

I have no idea what was wrong with me, but when I woke up Saturday morning I felt like nothing was going right and (literally) everything made me cry! It was like I was pregnant all over again with the crazy boo hoo hormones! My awesome husband was wise enough (or maybe scared enough) to volunteer his child observing services for a much needed Mommy-away Day!

I called My BFF Calianna and sobbed that we needed to go shopping without anyone with testosterone in their bodies...AKA NO BOYS!!!!! We went all over Tulsa just talking and shopping and enjoying a boy-free afternoon! I bought some fabulous Christmas themed fabric to make my mom a Christmas quilt (if I ever get my sewing machine back) and also bought the first block in a block of the month named Garden Patch Cats! The first one I am now the proud owner of is PumpKat, which is an orange beast in the shape of a pumpkin!!!! I love it! I'm not sure which beast is next but I'm really hoping for the Caulipuss (cauliflower) or the Podcats (peas)!!!

My mental health is now saved thanks to the Husbeast and the Calianna! Now if I just had that stinkin' sewing machine!!!!!!!
