How in the world do bloggers have time to, you know...blog?!?  I have had this thing pinned on my board for months.  Have I even opened it to see what it says inside?  Heck no.  Who has the time to read endless articles that tell you more things you could, would, or should be doing?!?

I must be the slowest person on the planet.  Yesterday my daughter (almost 17 yrs.) accused me of being a slow packer.  "Mom," she said, "it should never take you longer than 30 minutes to pack.  Why does it take you 3 days?!?"  Oh, I don't know...maybe because if the minutest thing gets left behind when we go on vacation, like say, ketchup, guess who is taking time out of vacation to run to the local supermarket while everyone else is fishing and swimming and laying in hammocks?  Well, it used to be me...now I have teenage drivers who will readily volunteer to drive the 5 miles down the windy mountain roads to go to the store for me so I can stay at the cabin.  Because that is so much more relaxing for me ;-)

But here I am sitting at this computer "blogging" instead of packing.  I am easily distracted.  Maybe I'm not slow, just unfocused....hmmmmm.  Why am I even at the computer?!?  Oh yeah, I did have "Blog New Items" on my list today.  But when I got the camera to post pictures of the new dress and shirt I made last week so that I could blog about them...my computer would not recognize my SD card so I fooled around with it a bit and realized it was not an SD card at all but something called an "Adapter".  What does that even mean?  I think it must mean "if you put this card in your camera, it will look like you have actually taken pictures and you can flip through them and delete the ones that are blurry and keep the ones you really want, but when you take this 'adapter' out of your camera there is actually nothing there."  Obviously photography is not my thing either. 
I need to stick to sewing.

I have very little hope that I will "build a better blog" or even if I do, transform into a real blogger between now and next month so...see you in about 30 days.  That seems to be about how often I can reasonably come up with a post.

Baseball and Beginning of Summer

Today is Harrison's last baseball game in the league he has been playing in since we moved to Birmingham.  He ages out and will have to find somewhere else to play.  I was looking back this week and found some pics of when he first started to play baseball...


There are not too many other things that I enjoy more than watching Harrison play baseball.  He truly loves the game and it is a joy to watch.






Ten years!  It is so hard to believe!  Bring on the next ten!

Etsy!

I opened my Etsy shop on Feb 28, 2012...why didn't I do this sooner?!?  Fear, plain and simple.  What is the matter with me?  I have been working steadily on Etsy orders since Feb 28.  I am in sewing heaven.  I wake up thinking about what I get to sew today.  Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with ideas about what I need to design next.  I am working on a pattern for pants now.  Well, it is still in my head, but I am almost ready to sketch it.  Maybe I will do that after I read to Eden tonight...
