After a month-at least-of 100+ degree temperatures-every single effing day, I think I have had enough! I can't afford the electric bill, but if I don't keep it turned down than I lapse into narcoleptic like dozing spells. I can't swim and get my exercise. The water is too hot. I guess I'll have to get my pregnancy yoga dvd out. Molly's been wanting to do it anyway. But then, I'll probably have to turn the air down more. Bastards! I'm pretty sure I don't have the pregnancy depression though. So that's good, right?
I will be putting this soap and washcloth set on Artfire very soon.
No, I didn't take this picture. A friend of Mike's is helping us with Soaped Up! and he has a fancy camera that I am very jealous of. This particular soap is hand milled with tea tree oil and oatmeal.
Well, lots of work to catch up on! :0)
Alright then, I know I've been saying this for like three years or so, but I really need to make some money. I'm going to have to try a bit harder. I'm sorry, A WHOLE LOT harder. :0) I can't keep sleeping until ten, like I did this morning. (We did stay up late last night so Molly could see the fire works, though. And I have been having trouble sleeping, and I am pregnant.) Do you hear someone making excuses? I don't either.
So, I got my Artfire studio up and ready to go today, and I have one whole item up. It's an item that expired on etsy, and I thought I'd start of with that just for today. I really do have more plans. (No, I mean it this time.)
Here's to a little hard work, initiative, confidence, and a willingness to forget about stupid fears that were taught to you before you were old enough to know better. In fact, I have a quote from Dr. Phil's Life Strategies. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me yesterday.
"You don't have the right to hide behind fear. You don't have the right to waste your gifts."

So, I'm saying to all who need to hear: NO MORE HIDING! I know I need to tell myself. :0)
Good news first. The baby's placenta has moved away from the cervix and will likely continue to do so resulting in no C-section. Yay! Good news for Father's Day this weekend. :0) I think we have also decided on Linus for the first name. I'm planning on getting some blue fleece to make a blanket with so he can carry it around with him. We still don't know about a middle name, but I thought Peach might be fun. Teehee!
More good news. I am now on flickr. (Username is knittingbyheather.) I hope you have also noticed my Twitter button. Hopefully I did that right. I'm going to try and think up something clever to post on Twitter at some point. Something about Wieners maybe? No, I'm sure that's been done to death. I have also signed up for Artfire finally. I haven't posted anything up, but I do have plans for the week. I will write a post about it soon.
Here's a picture of a blanket that I did make for my boy already. Somehow the picture came out a bit crooked. I don't have time to be a perfectionist though! :0)
It's my first blanket with batting. I did strings because I don't have the patience to actually learn how to quilt right now. Or the time. Maybe when Linus goes to school. :0)
