No Sew Tu Tu!

It's ballet class Thursday again . . . so what do you do when you are feeling like making something and you remember seeing this adorable tu tu tutorial on Tip Junkie (I *heart* this site so much and warn you if you are crafty, you will get sucked in)

Tulle just happens to be 40% off per yard this week at the JoAnn's store!! Use this tutorial and make this tu tu for your sweet little girl to play in. Seriously, cost me total $3 for the tulle (I only bought three yards) and the ribbon came from my stash. I wish I had more satin ribbon, but I still think it looks darling and I know she loves it! It took about an hour total time to make. YAY! This would make the perfect skirt for a fairy costume, you can obviously lengthen or shorten the skirt to whatever length you desire. I figured I would show this off now so some of you would have time to make it as part of a costume for Halloween. Fancy Nancy's got NOTHING on us!! Happy not sewing! (Please ignore the messy hair, she is wearing a PJ t-shirt and just woke up basically!)

If you have not entered my 500th Post Celebration Blog Candy drawing, don't forget to do that before you go! Winner will be chosen this Friday at noon AZ time!

Too cute - I'm all for anything that doesn't require sewing. But, I'm guessing my 4year old boy won't want to wear anything like this for Halloween this year!

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
