Tara took another step away from babyhood this week.

July 2nd, 2009

My older girls seemed to always be in a hurry, in a hurry to walk, to talk, to get that big girl bed. Both were in their very own twin beds by the time they were 18mths old because they would not stay in the crib.

Tara though has been more content to let things take their sweet time. She didn’t walk til nearly 11mths, she was happy to let Anna take the lead and talk for her, and she showed no signs on wanting to move from her crib……

Til now. A couple weeks ago she started swinging her leg over the top rail, never climbing out, but more showing us that she could anytime she wanted to. No surprise, she is nearly 3 and a big girl(compared to her sisters at her age). So we took the rail down the beginning of the week. So far so good, equal number of nights staying in bed, and getting up to be put right back.

The last baby taking another step away from babyhood and into big girl territory. Makes this Mom a little bit wistful.

Anna cut her hair today

Anna seemed surprised that we noticed her new hairstyle. I must say it could have been worse and she could have chosen a sister to try her hair styling attempts on.

Bringing back the beads…..

Summer Sage 12mm Rounds

When I first began using polymer clay many years ago now, I made beads. I’m coming back to this first love and have added the first of many sets to come in my BlueLadyBeads shop on Etsy.

It really doesn’t end does it?

May 7th, 2009

So we finally are well again, so what happens, I threw my back out. I’m on the mend now thankfully. No longer standing a good foot or two shorter then normal, and I can bend down without crying. I want to quickly get things caught up but know that I need to go a bit slow or I’ll be right back where I started a few days ago. I could really use a maid. LOL

When will it end…..

April 15th, 2009

Yet another illness. I don’t think there has been more then a few days since December where at least one of us was sick. Most of us are on the mend, but my middle girl now has double ear infections. Ten days of antibiotics for her. Please let this be the end of the cycle.

New beads have arrived….

April 7th, 2009

My latest shipment of Czech Glass Beads arrived today. I have already photographed everything, (thanks to my Dear Husband MikeĀ  who bought me a light tent which made the process go so much faster), and I’ll be editing and adding new items the rest of the week in my BlueLadyBeads shop on Etsy!

Finally back to work and new things are starting to appear in the shops.

You can find this beehive magnet at my Polymer Posies shop on Etsy.

I’m working on some new designs and hope to be added new items every few days.

Not another fever…..

April 6th, 2009

This winter has been one filled with just about every cold weather illness known to man. We have managed to stay illness free for around a week or so and my hopes were high. Silly Mom! Mike is down with a flu like illness. He’s on his second day of fever which is a rarity for him so he’s not doing so hot. I just hope this one leaves me and the girls alone. Pretty Please!
