Weekend Recap

I should really know better. I go into the weekend with all these grand plans of things I will get accomplished, and do I get to them? That would be a big, fat, NO. I did manage a few things, but not nearly what I wanted. I guess I should be happy with what I did do, right?

For instance, I finally finished that last burp cloth.

It only took a month! This one is my favorite out of all of them, I decided. The alligator is copied from a Carter's bodysuit I saw at the mall. I looked it up online and used that shape as the inspiration for mine. So cute!

I also did a good amount of work on my altered clipboard:

This will hang on the side of the baby's dresser and hold the diaper log. I made one up in MS Word (which is, in my opinion, one of the greatest, most versatile programs ever invented, and sadly, one of the most under utilized) that I can just print out and put on there. The problem I'm having is deciding what to put in that bookplate. Do I put Sawyer's name? Diaper Log? Something else? BLAH!

While I was on two peas, I came across a recipe for apple bread that I've actually made before. I remembered it being really good, so I baked a couple of loaves of that last night. One was sent with my husband to his buddy's house for the weekly football gathering, where it was promptly eaten. I do like feeding people! The other I kept here for us.

There was a rather ambitous plan for making thank you cards for some gifts that we've received recently, but I'm not feeling the paper love today. I didn't want to put them off any longer (I like to get them out within two weeks of receiving a gift), so I busted out my nice Crane stationery. Even though it's so pretty and sophisticated and grown up, it felt like a bit of a cop out in the back of my head. Ah, the curse of being crafty, eh?

So today, I did some sittin', some drinkin', some eatin', some peein' (okay a LOT of that!), and some readin'. Yeah, I'm a slug.
