I've been totally unmotivated to sit down and peck anything thing out lately. In fact, I haven't read/checked any one's blog in the last three days. The only reason I'm here now is because I know in a year I'm gonna wonder what I did these few days, and I won't be able to remember. Heck. I can't remember what I did Monday. Really. I'm about to go back and look, cause I have no idea.
Yesterday I didn't do just a whole lot....but what I did do was fun. In the morning I went over to my friend Christina's house for a visit, and I think she's convinced me to do a craft show. Eek! I know. Scary stuff, but if I start now MAYBE I won't get overwhelmed. I spent the whole morning at her house, and then came home for lunch and to put Luke down. I meant to start baking and cleaning at that point, but the couch was so comfy I just kinda parked it until 3. Then I had to bust it in the kitchen because I had some lady friends coming over for a girls night and I had planned on providing lots of sweeties to munch on.
One of the whole reasons we were getting together was so that Shae could hang out with everyone while she was in town. Except I got a call from her late yesterday afternoon that she was in the hospital. Long and details-you-don't-wanna-know story short, she's 32 weeks pregnant with placenta previa and some complications arose. They immediately admitted her, and she's still there as I type. :( More on that later.
So anyway, we were super bummed that she couldn't make it, but we still had fun with lots of laughs. I mean, laughed until I cried. My brownies, cupcakes, and chocolate covered rice crispy treats went over well. Except I had some leftover so now I'm forced to eat them myself. Darn.
This morning I got up and got ready for the day, then packed up Luke, the laptop and the movie Cars and headed to the hospital. After getting Luke settled into his movie, I was able to spend upwards of 2 hours hanging out with Shae in the hospital. In light of the circumstances, we had a pretty good time. It's been so nice having her here and getting to hang out so much! The doctor is keeping her over night, so I think (as long as she'll have me of course) I'll head back there in the morning. Everyone say prayers that that little boy in her tummy stays put for a few more weeks, and that they are able to make it back to Abilene safely with no scares!
When we came home today, I pulled out the sewing machine and finished an order I had from Etsy, then got to piddling around. I think I may have come up with my latest design, which I'm gonna call Cutie Booties. I want to do some quality control (read- wash and dry a couple of times to see how it holds up) before I unveil anything, but if it works out I'm thinking it could be a real crowd pleaser. We'll see!
Also, I finally got smart tonight at brought out an extra lamp we have and put it next to the sewing machine. It's so dark in that corner, I was literally squinting in my own living room just to see the thread. I don't know why it took me so long to think of putting a lamp next to me. I fancy myself as a pretty smart gal, but sometimes the obvious just really soars right over my head.
