Today a miracle happened, something that hasn't happened in past few days - wait for it..............
I went to the bathroom alone!!!!
Holy cow you say how did that happen? Well I had no sick child clinging off me!! He was better so was sent with his big brother and daddy to watch their cousin play footy, so I had the house alone.
I got to clean (with the top 50 one hit wonders playing loudly in the background, and have hence been singing, boom, boom, boom, lets go back to my room..... all day!)and finally got to make my cherry pie!! Very Yummy!!
I didn't get to do any crafting, but I went to the bathroom alone and that was the best accomplishment that could of happened today!

Excuse my poor tired face - but I had my poor sick boy hanging off me all day and night, I just realized that this is really blurry as well so will take a better photo latter but you get the gist of it.
Today we had to go out and Rod turned to me in the car and said those magic words
"I can take you to spotlight if you want"
This was on a extremely rare day off for him and he said this! I have the worlds best husband!
We had Tyler with us I was trying to be really quick (because he was happy being carried by dad was the easiest trip to spotty ever!!! For the first time in his short life he wasn't going 60 million miles a minute) I spotted some luscious material, and was patting it, thinking I don't really have the money to spend on it, Rod brought me 2 meters of it and another material which he picked out cause he thought it would make a good smock top (and I actually agree)! Then on the way out he said "don't you need more wool, or anything"
I reminded him that he wasn't supposed to help me add to my stash that he was supposed to get angry about it! The man is a crafting womans saint! He said yeah but it makes you happy! I declined this time because I really wanted to get Tyler home, but I cant say I wasn't tempted! He has offered to take me back when I get paid this week to pick up some of the other yummy material I found.

I'm very angry at photobucket - I finally was able to finish my beautiful green smock top - they have down time for scheduled maintence - well who scheduled that! They didn't run it through me - its bad enough that I played bad mummy to what I now know is a sick child to finish the last bit ( I made him play with his father - which he wasn't happy about and I shut the door on the craft room).
In better news Rod likes it, I knew when I picked up this opp shop special that he wouldn't like the material - but I loved it - it was one of my ugly but beautiful finds. Its true he did grimace when he saw it - but holey moley - he likes it as a top!! Shock of the world!
And in even better news I like it! I'm not always fond of the stuff I make for my self - but ill wear this one with happiness!
For a pic of a work in progress on the smock top see 2 posts down.

Would you be wierded out if a perfect stranger knocked on your door and said "I saw a sheet on your line from over the fence, and its so beautifully tacky that I would love to buy it off you and make clothes with it?"
I was so tempted, but before I could get up the nerve, Tyler needed to keep moving so I went and now all I can think about is how beautiful it was and how it would of loved living with me.

Blue Blue Blue
Most things I did today seemed to have a blue hue to it.
The planter boxes, Joshie and I painted this brilliant blue this afternoon. Though beautiful, not finished yet, Joshie thinks they need more decoration, and who am I to argue!
The ballet slippers I whipped up for my self. I was jealous of the ones for Tyler made from the child slipper pattern I posted about here , So I whipped them up using the wool from my second batch of dyeing. Only one - ask Tyler why, apparently it was giggle and snatch time!
This bookshelf I found on the side of the road this afternoon, with a wash and a coat of the blue paint on the sides that weren't white. It will be great above the chest of drawers in the craft room for those extra storage that all craft rooms need. As soon as I get new storage though, it seems to fill up really quickly, leaving me the need for new storage again - its a vicious cycle.
and I know this is green but I was working on it last night so it doesn't count. My smock top in working - a bit shorter then I would of liked - but it was an opp shop special and I had to take what I could get. From this tute .

Im on a mission to reclaim my lost craftiness. As the depression is deciding whether or not to take a real hold I find I get more restricted in my crafting when she's here, I lose my looseness my freedom and become rigid and strict, I need my creativity back.
Crafting is not a choice for my, its my expressions, its my love, my joy, my angst my fear its my life and if I were to lose that I would morn it like I would morn a child.
The three wooden "glass end caps" are to become our summer planters - salads, herbs and the must needed strawberries shall soon be poring out of them, but not before they have been cleaned and painted - I m thinking blue with white polka dots would be esp purdy.
These are the slippers from the craftser post - see a post or 2 below for details, Im only showing you the close up of the hand dyed wool ( my oceans mystique) because I made them to big (chubba was sleeping when I did them and I didn't want to wake him to try them) and I haven't weaved in ends or made a cute motif to go on them, I was thinking a lil red felt car with nice black wheels. And I was thinking about adjusting the pattern for myself and making ones with ice creams on them - sock/slipper heaven!
I have my orange sherbet on needles waiting to be turned into a lil clutch style purse - I would like to felt it but as it was white I fear that the bleached treatment it got might work against me.
Here Here
And as a Special treat of late, Tyler has been hopping of the breast mid feed giving me a lil round of applause and then resuming feeding. Lets all cheer for Boobas!!
