Kid Funnies

Overheard:

Albowin while playing by himself: 

"Are you a bad guy?"

"No, my eyes just glow sometimes when I'm mad."

----

Vicbowin after learning why she couldn't read the 4th Harry Potter till she was older.

"I wish the fourth one wasn't so heavy."

"Where on earth did you learn that word?"

"Heavy? I've always known it."

"Yes, but in that context!?"

----

Me to Albowin: "What are you doing?"

Albowin: "Sticking my fingers in my nose."

----

Vicbowin to me:

"All you ever do is sit on your computer! If you like it so much then why don't you just sleep with it then?"


(note: She got in LOTS of trouble for this and is now 'practicing' talking nice by saying every prayer and reading every scripture and being the general family spokesperson for the next week.)

----

Albowin upon coming in the house with a mouth covered in blood:

Me: "What happened!?"

Albowin: "I stuck my lips on the light pole, Mom, and when I pulled them off it hurt. And now I'm bleeding."

(It was 5*F outside)

The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
