25 Days of Gratitude: Day 22

By
I am grateful for naptime.  I know, after all the sentimental entries before this one, naptime doesn't quite fit.  However, it becomes a magical time in my apartment.  A time when I can clean (without another mess made behind my back), read, sew, watch a movie, or do the obvious: sleep.  Naptime has been crucial for me recently.  Mainly because I end up falling asleep while I'm waiting for Adam to fall asleep (who has to go to sleep too, otherwise Maryanne won't).  I have been extremely fatigued recently.  I'm sure my schedule of staying up until 11 or 12 doesn't help too.  But regardless of what time I go to sleep, even if I get eight hours of sleep, it is not enough and I am ready to fall over by lunch time.  I probably should go see a doctor, but I'm also lazy ... another reason why I love naptime!

Naptime is a favorite for me around here too! Hayden doesn't take a nap for me anymore, but he's really good at sitting and watching a tv show for half an hour while I sleep on the sofa next to him. I don't know what I'd do without my nap. I'm exactly the same as you, I can't get through my day without it.

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
