As of lately, I am so not interesting. Haha, oh well, its good enough for now. I do have a cute little story though, well not a story, but I guess a tid bit of my child caring job life.
So I make dinner.............heated up turkey meat balls and pasta for the 4 year old, and the meatballs have red sauce on them which the 4 year old has never had a problem with in the past. She gets up into her chair and right away gives a fit, "I don't like red sauce" and at this point she is just whiny(we all get like this, even as adults, come on!)
I say "well just lick the sauce off and it will be all gone" and at this point I am not even thinking about how silly this is, but I wasn't gonna tell her to wipe the red sauce off, because then she would be wiping all of her food off.
She then says "oh that's a good idea" with a huge smile, thinking wow why didn't I think of that sort of look. AT that point she is licking the sauce off and is saying "its all gone, that works good". Lol, I thought that was just so cute, she dosent like the red sauce but yet she is licking it off so the meat balls wont have any of it on them, hmmmmmmmmmmm:)
Kids just really do the most amusing things.
In other news, I have been teaching myself to crochet, I am moving slowly along. Maybe one day I will be able to share it with you. I also got rid of a ton of stuff from my scrap booking supplies, I donated it to Make A Wish foundation. I highly recommend that route next time you purge your supplies and are about to do a RAK. I was told that the families will be using the items to make memories with their children, I just thought that was way better then any giveaway on my blog.
I am still scared to sew on my machine, I am intimidated, its true, of a machine. My mom is a crazy sewing lady, she has like 3 machines, and she is a whiz on them. I on the other hand am just clueless and I have a brand new Brothers machine over by my desk that I have really yet to use. I purchased a book to learn some stuff and get a bit comfortable with the whole idea, BUT I just cant do it. Maybe I should just bring it with me to my mom's again, things went better there when she taught me. I think its the same way with knitting and crocheting, I keep telling myself I can teach myself, but really I need someone to sit with me and go over it. Hmmmmmm, maybe my sister!! Hey Cathy, do you hear that??
What else..............................I am just trying to organize my thoughts, bare with me. Oh, I am super excited because I am going to interview one of the authors/creators of "Handmade Nation" If you don't know the book or the very cool documentary that's coming out in the Spring..............well then you need to at least pick up the book to find out what its all about. It is just an awesome read, very inspiring. Its an inside look into the lives of Indie crafters, a peek into the whole movement. I first came across the book back in October, and just fell in love with it and then found out there was a movie coming out. It turned out the movie came first(its still in progress) and the book went hand in hand with it. I am just beyond thrilled, and a little nerve wrecked on what to ask:) BUT I will get there. For new take a look at their very cool trailer for the film.
Well I need to get to bed, we just stood out in the rain for about 10 minutes. We were startled from our room by a parade of fire trucks, ambulances and police. The neighbors had an oil burner back fire. We all thought it was going to be a fire or a gas leak and we were a bit scared. I mean the houses out here in Nassau are really close, I mean you could lean out your window and touch the house next store. So if there was a bad issue, we would have had to leave the house at like 12am. That would not be a good deal. No sir re. So hopefully that's all over because I need to rest up, long day tomorrow of baby watching. My job is great!!!
Night!
