Some things that suck, some that don't

Sadly, I don't get to write in my blog as often as I'd like to. Sometimes I'm driving down the road, left alone with my thoughts, and something will occur to me and I'll think I should post that on my blog. But then life happens and it's Sunday night and I feel the need to instead post a traditional "family update" post. Adding random thoughts into the mix would only lengthen what is probably an already length post. And that's only if I actually remember the random thought in the first place.

Maybe I should keep a little notepad in the car to jot these things down.

So as I write this it actually is Sunday night. If you are a blogger and haven't discovered how to schedule your posts for a future date and time, well, I feel sorry for you.

Anyway, there's a lot on my mind. I can't possibly keep up with it all on the blog. To keep this post from becoming the online version of War and Peace, I'll break it down for you into list format.

Things I'm loving this week...
  1. HGTV - it's what inspired me to paint those bathrooms
  2. Light trails and light painting - I'm hoping to experiment with some of my own soon
  3. Glycolic acid
  4. Zumba
  5. Hawaii. What's not to love about that?
  6. Carin, the super-duper masseuse at LifeSpa. ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. HER. I wish I could start every Saturday that way.
  7. Crafting. I have a few new projects I want to do, and some will make excellent holiday gifts. Yes, I'm thinking Christmas already. Scary, huh?
Not so in love with...
  1. Wal-Mart. Do they even know what customer service IS?
  2. Teenage boys who would lose their heads if they weren't attached.
  3. Migraines. Wish they would go away forever.
  4. Humidity. Yes, we do have it here in Arizona, and when we do it SUCKS. Thank God for the pool.
  5. Forgetting to add a title to your blog post. Ugh.
What's on your lists today?

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Image
Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
