Randomness

Welcome to another rambling post of randomness.  Enjoy!

So, I'm working on a project for Micah's room.  Silhouettes are popular right now all over the web.  I decided I need one of Micah.  I saw this post over on YHL back in October, even before Micah was born.  I knew then that I was going to have to do this.  It took me a while to get a profile shot, and when I did, it was an accident.  I'm not done yet, but here's what I have so far.

Here's the profile that I accidentally shot.

Here are a couple different sizes of the silhouette.

Now I have to cut the the actual silhouette out of black cardstock, find a frame, find background paper, and put it all together.  When I'm done, I'll show you.  I'm excited to actually be working on Micah's room.  I also have some fabric that is the color inspiration for his room.  I want him to have a fun, colorful nursery/toddler room, without it screaming that a baby lives here.  Here's the fabric.

I'm looking forward to showing you all the things that I have going for Micah's room, and the rest of the house too.

I have been trying for a few days now to get video of Micah "talking" for his Auntie, who's not feeling well.  It took me several tries over two or three days to finally get an almost decent video.  Either Micah won't talk, or I sound weird talking to him trying to get him to talk (and he still won't talk).  The funny thing is he thinks it is the funniest thing when he hears himself talking on video and starts talking back immediately.  The problem is that he stops as soon as I start videoing.

I have taken the plunge.  I have joined twitter.  Not because I think anyone is interested in anything that I have to say, but because I'm greedy.  That's right,  I'm greedy.  Often when bloggers host giveaways an option for entries is to tweet about the giveaway.  I entered this giveaway, and I joined Twitter so that I could tweet about it for another entry.  All Things Thrifty is giving away a custom address stamper, and I want one.  I told you I was greedy.  And just in case you didn't guess, I'm blogging about the giveaway so that I can have another entry.  My greed knows no end, but I really want an address stamper.  I don't know about you, but free is my favorite price, and this is right up my alley.  I want to get one anyway, but I would love it if I got one free.  (I can be followed HERE.)

Here's the one I like.

I am working on DIYing Micah's first Easter basket.  It won't have much in it, but he couldn't not have a basket for his first Easter.  I'm also working on another quilt for my cousin's daughter.  It would have been done long before now, except that my sewing machine has decided that it hates me.  I can't say much though because the machine was really inexpensive, and meant for beginners.  I just expected it to last a little longer since I'm still a beginner and I haven't been using it unreasonably.  It would probably not be a problem if I would just sit down, and work on correcting it.

Mikey and I bought new appliances for the kitchen.  They haven't been delivered yet, for a multitude of reasons, but once they're in, I'll tell you about them.

I am forever saving a picture from one website or another of things that catch my eye.  The problem is, I rarely remember where I found the picture.  Pinterest is the answer to my problem.  It allows you to pin pictures online, and even lets you leave yourself notes about the picture and remembers where you found the picture.  I love it.  I am slowly adding to my pins.

It's been a pleasure spilling out some randomness.
