whatever

greetings from the craft room...

moving right along.

watching shows on the dvr to keep me company.

i have watched 2 weeks of desperate housewives...

one brothers & sisters with 3 more to go...

two grey's anatomys...

one ER...

it's been fabulous.

and i have one of my weaknesses right next to me.

robin's eggs minis.

i just love these yummy little guys.

it's okay.....because they only make them at easter...that's my rationale.

(if that's not true don't tell me because i don't want to know. 

i like thinking they only sell them in march.)

back to work.

chicago bff's

they have been here since saturday...

with their two kids.

we had a great time just hanging out.

they left this morning....even though i tried to convince them to just move in with us.

i miss them already.

now that they are gone i guess i have some work to do.

i shipped a bunch of t-shirts on monday. 

i will ship a bunch more things tomorrow.

thanks again for your patience with the etsy shop.

i will be hunkered down in the craft room till all the orders are finished.

i will only come out for coffee.

and laundry.

the non-skiers.

well i had big plans for the time i had while the five were skiing.

i was going to go here.

tara whitney even gave me the address.

the family was skiing....annie was in her car seat...star mill was typed into the GPS.

i buckled my seat belt and then said to annie 

"you know....i should call and make sure they are open on mondays."

i called 

and the answering machine message said 

"happy holidays!  we are open through dec 27 and will not reopen until march 21."

noooooooooooo! i shouted out in the car.

it was march 16.

now what?

how about a dinosaur museum?

annie was much more excited about this than the antique store.

we wandered the museum...taking as long as she wanted.

she wouldn't touch this sand digging exhibit.

that was frustrating.

but we did see the entire place and got a dinosaur drink when we were done.

on our way to the car i spied a store i wanted to see.

we opened the door and i was so happy.

it was my kind of store.

umm....yes.  i will have that please.

all of that.

that blue cabinet!  that polka dot blanket!  that turquoise angel!

love.

annie found these babies shoes and shouted "MOM!  they match!"

mine cost fives times LESS that those.

(yay for wal-mart!)

i was in chandelier heaven.

we settled on that pink star...it's covered with glitter (right side of photo).

i really wanted to crawl into these beds for a cuddly nap.

i can promise that it would be good for sleeping....all 15 pillows.

"mama...i want this for my birthday"

all of it.  

she's just like me.
