I got a package yesterday that I only just was able to open. A good friend sent me a couple books on thrifty living. Miserly Moms and The Tightwad Gazzette. Yay me! For quiet time today before nap I curled up on the couch and flipped through them to seemw aht I could gleam. E poured over the pictures in a gorgeous book I checked out about the wetlands. Must dig through the photobox and find the pictures from last year’s trip to Lousianna, lots of good swamp photos in there.
I dug through the old bathtub toy bucket and found 5 rubber duckies. I think I’ll perform 5 Little Ducks at bathtime, this may become a new bathtub ritual for us. *giggles*
I began sorting through my scrap material box and realized that I have an abundant amount of girly prints. I’m not sure why, perhaps hopeful wishing on my part during my pregnancy with A. Ah well, seeing as how I’ve got a house full of boys I pulled out several good sized pieces and began trimming them up to make a fairly good sized quilt. I’d like to back it with some bright pink fleese since that is the dominant color. Maybe I can sell it on Ebay and make a few dollars. Now to find the pink fleese. Good thing I have a JoAnn’s coupon.
