anyhoo.. if anyone wants to know what'd going on in my life.. me and Matty are trying for baby # 3 (4) or however you figure that one.. 3 for him 4 for me.. 3rd child.. geez.. ok hell.. just we're gonna have another kid... the ultimate goal here is to do this spending as little cash as possible on actual baby stuff.. I have come to the conclusion over 3 babies that they really don't use all that stuff very long.. and to dish out thousands of dollars on exersaucers, playpens, etc.. just doesn't make sense.. it's only used for a few months.. so where I would spend is on a stroller and a playpen. because those two actually get used... stroller constantly.. and heck.. the baby sleeps WITH me.. so a playpen for naps. everything else would have to be hand me downs.. or borrowed.. So far I seem to have a stroller... and a car seat.. and TONS of girl clothes size 6 months... (mostly from my dolls.. but a few from a baby friend)I've been developing a business idea... I've been sewing for Tina's daughter Bekka for a pageant.. making little pinafore dresses and such.. and showed off the pics at playgroup yesterday... Krista said that I should go into business making these... people will apparently pay big bucks for them... craft shows and such... so my wheels got turning.. I could go into business... dresses, panties, diaper covers, diapers, booties, headbands, bonnets, pinafores, etc... all co ordinating or matching .. mix and match style.. 30$ dress, 15$ pinafore, 5$ headband or 8$ bonnet, matching diaper covers and diapers.. etc.. could also do matching dolly outfits.. to go with the bigger child sized ones out of the left over fabric.. added appeal.. added profit. Could do pajama's and make diapers out of the left over fabric there.. So me and Tina are sewing tomorrow night.. working on skills.. developing a diaper pattern etc.. and if I throw my soft sculpture dolls into the mix.. I could sell those on the craft circuit as well.. and that would be good too.. my step sis had the nerve to ask if I've sold any of my dolls.. um.. ya.. that's why they're not in my house anymore.. the only one I have left is the one I made for joey.. and asked me what the hell I'm doing having more kids.. um well... I think that's MY decision now ain't it? not like I'm asking anyone else to pay for them.. I WORK for a living.. my kids have nice clothes and food in their tummys and all the toys they could want.. like heck.. I realize I'm broke now... but.. that is MY decision... I work less hours so I can spend more time with my kids.. if I need more money.. I have the option to up my hours at work and get it.. I just choose not to.. as my kids are more important to me than having more money to buy more crap that I don't need.I just wanna say.. I LOVE when I find chocolate on my desk.. mmmm... hershery's kisses.. mmmmmm life is gooood....ok.. back to the blog...I got a raise yesterday at work. a whopping 23 cents.. that should cover half of my lunch on saturdays.. lol

anyways.. blogspot is not letting me add pictures for some reason today.. so if you want to see what I've made this week...

I'm just burnin doing the neutron dance!

Well.. I guess it's about time I updated here.. It's been a few weeks.. but honestly.. not much has happenned.. I've been selling off a lot of my dolls and the clothes I make for them to try and save up for a new softie.. ended up deciding against a new softie as I don't want to make the ones I have less special.. I think I will just work on my soft sculpting a bit more and see what I can come up with.. I've been really improving with it.. figured out a few more things.. like really pulling the stitches a lot tighter than I was before.. and putting a stitch between the eyes to form the bridge of the nose before making the eyes and mouth.. my noses have gotten a lot better too.. so I'm pretty excited about that.. I managed to adopt out a couple softies this month... so that's nice that I'll have a bit of grocery money.. I don't understand what's been happenning lately but we are freaking broke. I don't know if all the bills just went u

ways to stretch a dollar..

someone asked this in one of my clubs.. if i knew any ways to save $$ here was my response. Shop for kids on boxing day.. buy big sizes... this saves me a bundle on my kids winter clothes.. I get everything 75% off on boxing week.. (at zellers.. in canada) Never be scared to check the clearance rack/section.. you never know what you're going to find..I got GAP shirts for my kids brand new for 2.99 each because they had found them in the back room.. old navy sometimes has good clearance too.. Stock up on the weekly meat special.. I get pork tenderloin for 1.99CA a pound.. and pork chops.. and steak.. and chicken breasts.. and just buy up a pile of what's on sale.. that way my freezer is always full of yummy meat. call up your credit card company and ask them for a lower rate.. odds are.. they have one. Always ask for a discount on big purchases like appliances.. you will probably get one. use layaway instead of credit whenever possible. check online for recipes for fast food..
