(check out the video too!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm dying i want this book so badly!)


thank god it's the weekend. i'm so happy it's friday today ladies. phew! it's been super busy around here and i've been feeling under the weather. not to give you tmi but i have endometriosis (click here to read more about being a mom & dealing with a chronic illness & about my experiences with endometriosis) and it's just been a rough week for me. i really struggled with it this week and the sad thing is that i've been doing great since having harper and then this month wham! not so fun. on the upside susan sarandon revealed that she has endometriosis and it made my day. i know...that sounds wrong doesn't it? it's not that i want other women to be sick, i just think that it's not something to hide or be ashamed of and that the more celebrity voices we have out there to promote research and finding a cure the better in my opinion. ok...i'll admit it...there's more...susan sarandon rocks and is a tough cookie so the next time i'm having a bad endo day i'm going to channel thelma and louise and kick some endo ass..haha. ok. moving on.

we are in birthday party season around here and we have a party this weekend to go to that i've been happily working on a dress for the pretty little girl who's turning 4. she loves long, swirly, twirly dresses and i thought what better dress to make her than the party dress from the cottage home. love it! i also went out and picked up my first fabric button kit and yes, like i predicted, i am now addicted. how fun is that!!!!!!! i just need more buttons now. anyone have a good resource for buying them in bulk? i got mine at fabricland and they were not cheap. pics to come of the dress next week.

i also want to say a giant, huge, enormous thank you to all of you for reading this blog. i just looked at the calendar yesterday and went oops...there goes year #2 and i forgot to celebrate! anyways i wanted you all to know how much i appreciate each and every one of you, all the friendships i've made, the experiences we've all shared together (good & bad), the joy and happiness this blog brings me and the absolutely wonderful, caring and most entertaining community of crafty women i have ever met. i love you all and i hope we all can share many more years together in the mommyhood! here's to #2! thank you!

so besides sewing, resting, knitting, maybe sleeping, and birthday partying it up..oh..and eating ice cream i think my weekend is looking pretty darn good. how's yours gonna be? have anything exciting planned? any new projects on the go? share...you know i love hearing from you, it makes my day :)
