busy bee.

as my neighbor melissa pointed out, i must be busy, because i haven't even blogged *lol*
between work, moving, the kids, and life in general, things are just really really busy. not a bad busy. just a busy busy. so i promise. as soon as i get a free second, i will update my blog :)

birthday present craftiness.

i just finished this cute i spy bag for my friend's daughter.

here's the back:

i know that the stitching isn't perfect, but part of that is because i'm still learning, and part of it is because i wanted to make sure that it was super secure, so i went over the lines a whole bunch of times.

and then i found this great cupcake gift bag! how could i resist buying it??

so that's what her little gift is going in.

hopefully she'll be as entertained by it as my 12 year old and all his friends were *lol*

busy.

okay. sorry i haven't been keeping up with the blog. between being busy and busy, i'm just sort of busy.. ;)
here's the short and sweet of what's going:
i won a turkish chest at the icsc bingo! *woo hoo* (i'll post pictures when i get copies)
still taking classes; i think i'm almost done.
nonno is here! YAY!
poor olivia has a really bad rash.
all of my kids have taken turns being sick.
and getting the keys to our new house has been moved up to the 1st of march; however we know which house number is ours!! :)
and i'm still working at the thrift store and loving it!
okay, on to the pictures:
nonno and his boys:

olympia finally warming up to nonno:

olivia wearing the pretty dress that zia sent her (she's sick, hence the red cheeks, but she still wanted to "pose"):

brandon loving his goodies from zia:

that's it for now. i have to go to class, so i gotta hop off here. and yes, i'm really going to class so stop laughing andreana!
