it's the weekend peeps! yippeee!  i'm in full crafting mode around here.  knitting on the needles, hand stitching projects galore - cross stitch/quilting/sewing, and even crafts (pics to come next week)!  i'm on fiiiirrrreee!  love it.  it's all been fun so far but i felt myself slowly adding more to my list this week so i might have to chop chop that sucka a little bit.  i still have to address/label/mail my xmas cards and a few other xmas to do's in between all that and yep, there's backing to be done as well.  i'm also way behind on my xmas shopping due to my back.  it's gonna have to be done in one big power shop me thinks.  i'll don my shopping armour (a starbucks), put on the comfy shoes, leave the hubs with the kidlets and go battle the mall!

i've also been really die hard longing for my sewing machine this week.  so many ideas, so many projects in blog land begging to be made.  it's killing me..haha.  i cannot wait to be reunited with poppy.  she will forgive me i hope.....anyone else missing their sewing machines or am i the only kooky one?  in between longing to be able to sew again i've also got a soon to be 19mth old really being keen about the potty issue.  she wants to go on the potty and has been showing strong signals she wants to start the process so we are on the hunt for a potty.  i need your help though since it's been a while for me.  what are your fave potties to use?  do you go from stand alone potty to on the toilet potty or do you skip the floor one and just shoot straight for the toilet top one?  i'm worried she is too small to go on the big potty.  she's tiny.  so maybe small potty then big potty on toilet? oh my...too much potty talk...i digress...lol.

we've got a bday party, grocery shopping, xmas party (for the hubs) & late night crafting for me, decorations to be made & hung, and some good times to be had really soon. the hubs exam is next friday so we're counting down the days!  what are you folks up to?  any fun plans?  what have you been busy making?  fill me in on your week ladies!
