Girly, the turtle

Abbey loved my turtle. So much, in fact, that she wanted a large one just like mine. She even named it before I made it, Girly. She names everything Girly.

In other new, Tad the tadpole has passed on... I think next I'll get a goldfish.

Shawn and I are going on a cruise in March! Yay! We're going to Belize, Honduras, and Cozumel, Mexico. I'm so excited! We're going to see the Mayan ruins! And by ourselves! Yay, couple time!

I've also started knitting again, and have sewn/embroidered a lot this week. I love my sewing machine!

My Sea Turtle

I finally finished my sea turtle, I bought the fabric months ago but just got around to making him. Abbey loves him and is begging for me to make her one as well.

I think I'll name him Seaweed. Now I've got to make him a baby (for Abbey).

Water, Ice, Snow....and other stuff!

So, I've been hibernating inside for the past few days, due to the "snow" (I quote them because it really shouldn't even qualify) and (main reason) extremely freezing temperatures. We got about an inch of snow, just enough for Abbey to play in but not enough to satisfy me. It started last Friday with the temperature only reaching 22 degrees, although colder with the windchill. It was below zero with the wind at night! This caused one of our pipes to freeze on Saturday morning. It also let to the ground shifting and therefore busting our water meter that is in the ground. That was loads of fun. Lucky for us, it was the city's property and they had to fix it. At 10:00 at night. In freezing temperatures. Fun.

I finally got my new sewing machine. I'm so excited because it embroiders on it's own! I'm also in the process of completing a few craft projects that I'll post soon.

That's pretty much all that's going on in my life....
