309: fun stuff

hey y'all.

i've been meaning to post this pic but kept forgetting. it's a belt i crocheted for baby bliss. it's ribbon i got from the dollar store and the hoops are recycled plastic covered in the same ribbon.

i like it but i think i need to add some plain, small beads to the tassels to give them a bit of weight.

the belt is 27 -- maybe 30 -- inches long. baby bliss wanted it to drape on her hips.

i couldn't find my camera the day i wanted to take the pic. so i just put it on the scanner. not a bad photo, i guess.

What a neat project! My blog and website are all about family fun and frugal family living. I would like to feature some of your ideas on my sites if you are interested.

Here is a little about myself.

I am a new WAHM and am excited to begin networking with moms and grandmothers who are juggling the many roles they have in life just as I am. I had a 15 year career as an accountant for a publicly traded company and I missed out on so many of the precious moments in the lives of my boys.

In August of ’07 I finally took the step of faith and left my full-time employment so that I could have the time, energy, and flexibility to focus on the needs of my tween (age 12) and 1st grader (age 6).

I have built a website which focuses on the essentials of family living, hence the name ~ www.essentialfamilyliving.com and http://essentialfamilyliving.blogspot.com/. One of my favorite topics of discussion is Family Fun Night and I have dedicated much of my blog space to this subject.

I would love for you to view my site and blog then comment with any suggestions, advice, or encouragement. Thank you for the consideration.

Blessing on your day!

 Hi y'all. I hope everyone is happy, healthy, and safe. For the most part, we are. But sometimes, I'm sad. Grandma transitioned in December.  Life goes on but all is tilted sideways.  I'm waiting for the world to right itself.  ðŸ’”

374: life in the E.R.

hey y'all. i dunno why i can't seem to avoid popping into the emergency room every six months or so. my most recent visit was the wee hours of this very morning. in a freaky accident brought about by the search for my cell phone, i stabbed myself in the hand with one of the tiny steel crochet hooks i use to crochet jewelry (and other stuff). baby bliss began to cry and immediately jumped up to tell mr. bliss. (who had just gone to bed because he's on night shift this week.) i poured on some eucalyptus oil (so i wouldn't get infected) and tried to pull the hook out. it was stuck on something (a vein? an artery?) and hurt like hell so i stopped pulling. it had also begun to hurt and i realized it hadn't hurt going in. i heard it more so than felt it. weird huh? baby bliss cried the whole 10-minute drive to the hospital. i guess i was the first crochet hook impalee that the pair in admittance had ever seen. they made faces and oohed and aaahed at my pre...
