7 quick takes in March

The Master of the house

is quite bothered by the fact that the woman

hasn't bothered to post in an entire week.

Figured I'd best remedy that;

I like to keep Master happy

~1~

Sickness in the house again.

It's become a more-than-monthly affair

and frankly - I'm tired of it.

Fortunately, nothing too serious this time around.

~2~

We've come up with a house plan that we really like;

now

we just have to shrink it a bit.

or

maybe a lot.

~3~

Lexi is now a wearer of

not only shoes

but socks, too.

but only on cold days.

Really.

She has no use for them otherwise.

And

if we ooh & ahh

she'll keep a bow in her hair for about 8 seconds.

She's also adding to her vocabulary daily

and becoming quite fun.

when she's not a crab, that is.

~4~

Speaking of '4'

this four-year old boy has turned a corner!

He is becoming such a nice, self-controlled young man.

Josiah - Momma is so proud of you!

~5~

I found a 20" x almost 5' space

to use as a 'sewing room'

so I'll be able to have my machines out

and at the ready all the time.

(never mind where I'm putting what was filling up that space)

That makes me happy.

Trying to organize my stuff

doesn't make me happy;

it makes me crazy.

When you are dealing with mere inches,

placement is very important....

~6~

We bought a new vehicle today.

A 2000 Excursion.

It's hard to part with hard-earned cash.

~7~

I'm coming up blank here

and Lex' just might be ready for bed.

Come to think of it

I just might be ready for bed, too.

but of course, I'll have to get my exercise in first...

ohhh

I thought of a #7

my fabric!

It's here!!

And I love it as much as I thought I would.

And now I'm all stressed trying to figure out

just

what to do with it.

I thought I knew;

but now I'm second-guessing myself.

and now - the girl is

most definitely

ready for bed
