Brain Pain!!

I have had a migraine on and off since Friday. Mostly on than off. I had to miss two days of work...which means my check will be short. My migraine are usually stress realated but this one was brought on by the weather change. When it can't decide if it wants to rain or not it makes to much pressure in the air. The one nice thing is I got lots of sleep. We still sent the kids to daycare so I could rest. I might be stressing a bit about the move coming up and getting everything settled in. I do not feel like I'm stressing...I think I might need to get some more crafts done...that did seem to help. I should use my cricut...I haven't used that in months. I could ask my brother in law if he wants a sign with his callsign. I think I might make myself a bag like I made for Kenny. Anyway...I have brain pain!! And a million things to do!!!

Here is one more...

So here is Rachele's blanket. I managed to get it done with minimal aggravation from the kids...this one has the same "mistake" as Kenny's. But like I said it was done on purpose!!

Here it is....

So here are my crafts....I still need to make Rachele's new blanket and get my skirt made...all in due time!! Do you see my "mistake"??? I did it on purpose...honest I did...

I love it...I wish I can do more but my neck is sore, I'm out of practice!!!

Craft bug...

The craft bug has landed in my garage...but first only let me tell you my tale of getting ready...

I have had my serger out since I made Rachele's skirt about a month ago...well on one of the many times Kenny has been out by himself because mommy went in to go potty or to switch over the laundry or whatever it was that I went in for...he decided to cut all of the thread lines...no biggy right, wrong little did I realize he messed with the tension dials too. So my simple fix turned out to be a long fix as I re threaded it 4 times before I realized I needed to turn my tension dials. No wonder it kept coming unthreaded!!!

Then I ironed the fabric for Kenny blanket...very hot in the garage I must say. I get that done and stand on a chair to fold it in half as Lee is on the phone with his dad and can't help!! So I get that done and have to play with the fleece to see how I'm going to sew it all together...I ask Lee for help but he is to busy playing with his fishing stuff...so I just started sewing...when I'm done I will post a picture...I did do something most people would think is a mistake however I did it on purpose as all of my homemade blankets have their own unique "mistake"!!!

Packing!!!

So I talked to the house guy yesterday...we need to start packing. In my head I keep thinking we are ok and will get it done but in reality I know I need to pack up the stuff we are not using...like the stuff in bertha...my hutch. So any takers on helping me?? Most of you will have to come to MI but hey I will enjoy the visit and help!!! Ok ok I know I've done once a year for the past three years so I can do it again...at least this time I'm working days so it should not be as bad. I shouldn't lose any sleep like I have done in the past. I'll try to update with some photos like I said I would about 4 posts ago...I keep forgetting to get the card from Lee's new camera. I promise be fore I go to work on Thursday I will post some pictures!!!
