piknik

If you are reading this blog, then I assume that you are like me, or at least interested in some of the same things that I am, and love taking photos.  Maybe even more than taking photos, I love editing my photos.  But if you are like me you neither have the time nor the energy nor the expertise to use a full-blown version of photoshop, or even it's scaled-down version of elements.  So, you can imagine how stoked I was when I came across piknik.  You can do all those fancy things in your browser with just a few clicks here and there, man I am freaking addicted!  Check it out

I think it's pretty cool, but hey that's just me, and those are my kids, so I guess I would think its cool!  The coolest thing is that I did all that editing in a few minutes, for FREE! check it out!

Busting the burnout

Mommy sewing burnout that is.  I guess it comes with the territory when you decide that your "hobby" will become your "job."  So during a rather rare event of two little boys sleeping in the afternoon at exactly the same time, I took advantage and cut some fabric - FOR MYSELF!  Just typing "for myself"  makes me smile.  So far, here's what I've got

  

It's a little Anna meets Amy bag in the works for one bag- making mama who has been using the similac bag from the hospital, and as if that is not ironic enough, I am a strictly nursing mama! 

Anyway, I also treated myself to some eye candy in the form of a sewing bookweekend sewing by heather ross, sweet mother of sewing, I am IN LOVE with this book, IN LOVE, first it's a sewing book, then it's got recipes and music reccomedations as well, whew  I can't wait to sew up a few of the flea market skirts for the summer,  simple, easly wrap around skirt with a tank, and wrap arounds are so great because they disguise all the extra mommy love!  Ah summer, looking forward to it big time. 

On Mama's Day

 

Eating ~ albeit fattening, but oh so good french toast. 

 

Taking a break during naptime~ and trying so desperately to join in on the addiction  that's got so many of my friends all keyed up.  But mostly just soaking in the sun.

 

Wondering ~ what I did with myself before these two.

Hope your day was wonderful, peaceful and didn't involve any calls to poison control.
