Last Tobermory trip of the summer.

Image
We've spent the last week in Tobermory up at my mom's place. Finally we were able to bring Matt with us during a good time for some outdoor fun. We got there on Sunday night and headed into town on Monday morning. Bought some groceries and then visited my uncle at the Blue Heron docks when his boat came in. After that we headed to the lighthouse and Drew jumped into the water a few times. This place is really cool (literally as well as figuratively) and you can jump off the rocks into 64 feet of water and swim two feet and be in 3 feet of water. Drew was the only one properly attired to jump in water at the time though. After that we headed back to mom's to get ready to go to the beach. We were pretty thrilled to find a gorgeous set of sheets at the second hand shop, a huge improvement over sleeping on top of a top sheet that keeps sliding off while you're sleeping. We headed over to Singing Sands beach for the rest of the day. Now if you've never b...

My Journal Assignment for nov 23

What I would say if I had the courage to say it…. Quit trying to impose your values on my life! My life experiences have shaped my values, and yours have shaped yours. If I keep trying to live up to your values I'm going to regret the way I've lived my life. I don't want to get to heaven rich. I don't want to lie on my deathbed wishing I had spent more time with my children. I don't want to die lonely. I really don't care if I make "enough" money, as long as I have time with my family and enough to eat. I don't care that your opinions don't mesh with mine, and I wish you would quit trying to make me see things your way. I saw thing that way before, other things I've seen have changed my mind. I wish you would quit trying to involve me in your fights. Don't try to turn me again anyone else. I don't want to be in the middle of it. SHUT UP! I don't want all your negative thoughts swirling around in my head! I don...

Just showing off some of my crafts.

Image
Well, I've been pretty busy lately since school finished (I graduated with honors by the way).  I finally finished up the pink hoodie.  It needed buttons and blocking.  Also, I made up this cute little multicolor one.  This is just a fun little pattern that I can put together in a couple of days and I love it because it is so modern and looks like something Tisha would wear herself. I also want to show off some of the outfits I made for her dolls.   and Matt and I made this adorable doll bunk bed set for Tisha for Christmas.  There are pretty much always at least two dollies sleeping on it these days.  It was made to fit her 18" dolls, but the smaller ones find it comfy as well.  Matt made the bed, I made the bedding. This little sweetie is my latest OMG find at the second hand stores.  As far as I can tell she is a Betsy Wetsy from circa 1958.  She has the markings that say she is made by Ideal.  Apparently she i...
