Okay...I'm testing out some new options for the look of my blog. The new blogger customizable template is really cool, there is a lot you can play around with. And this was only a half an hour or so that I was tinkering with it last night. I think there might be a few more changes over the coming week until I find something that is going to fit well.
Plus I'm hoping to do a bit more blogging and updating as the weeks go by. Lots of exciting things happening over here in my world, I just need a few minutes to get then on the page!
Stay tuned!

I did a lot of sewing this week. This is what I look like while i'm in the "zone" or at least what I assume I look like this since this photo was highly staged for week 17.

Okay, so I actually missed week 16, but this picture could have very well been taken this week. I've been working on this project at work for the last few weeks. And all the work was finally posted on the 12th. Avatar's world "Pandora" was brought to life at Union Station - and I have to admit it turned out amazing.
Here I am hugging the giant tree that was installed right inside the station.

Goofing around on my computer on Saturday morning, while Paul was still in bed. I got so much done that morning!

Easter weekend, we had my parents and sister and brother in law down for Sunday brunch/ dinner. I didn't cook a whole turkey, but like I said to Paul a turkey roll is part of a turkey - so it definitely counts as my first turkey!
52:13
Okay, so I know I haven't kept up with my end of the deal of posting once a week. But I'm not going to dwell lets just move ahead.
As I told my sister last week, chin up, keep moving. So i'll catch up with my 52 week photos - which surprisingly minus week 16 (which I made up for) I manage to snap at least one pic of me a week.
Here is week 13 - lounging around at home with pauly watching re-runs/ on demand of Property Virgins. :)

Lack of posting
and there is no excuse for it.
Just tired. Busy and tired.
But there was some good news this week. We were officially approved for a mortgage! And a rather large one at that. We still can't start looking until May, but that's only less then two months from now. I can't wait. I'm so excited to have something we can call our own, and to be out of this city. I think it will be the start of many good things!

Two pics this week, cause I can't decide. Me in my st. paddy's day, and last night with my 3D glasses outside Alice in Wonderland.

Okay, eventually I was going to miss a week. Last week was the week. But I was so sick that i'll blame it on that. Although i'm sicker now then I was then. But regardless here is a half decent week 10 picture. (taken during week 11)
We are heading to Michigan with Sam & Michelle this weekend to do lots of Shopping and visit with Uncle Barry, so there will definitely be a new week 11 picture.

February Crafty Review
Okay, a little less crafty this month, only two finished projects - although lots started/ worked on this month.
It was a short month and we were gone 3 out of the 4 weeks (for at least one of the two days) which after running around and cleaning, and resting, didn't leave much time for being crafty. However the Olympics were on and we spent almost the entire time watching - and when paul didn't want to watch, I was watching in the sewing room, while cutting out fabric for projects.
I finished cutting all the blocks for my Wild Things quilt, yet I have not sewed one block together, maybe this weekend..lol
I also figured out all sorts of baby and wedding projects organized my stash, bought some more fabric (some totally necessary, some not).
I did however make this little football for Keon as a sorta birthday/ superbowl gift. I think he is a bit young to get the hang of it yet, but seemed to enjoy it.
I also finished that secret project I was working on, but can't show yet, cause you just never know who reads these things.
Hopefully March will be slightly more productive. However its been a ruff start, I've been coughing almost non-stop since Saturday - the bronchitis seems to be back. Oh Joy.

I have spent the last 2 hours coughing non-stop. Suddenly remembering I need a photo. Here is what it looks like when you feel like your chest might collapse. It's not pretty, nor does it feel that good.

Numbers
I knew it was going to be a busy long day, and what started off not so good, ended on a decent note and I was out of the office and treading through the snow storm by 6:10pm.
I made note of a few random numbers today...
32 - the number of subway stations I passed through on a daily basis (16 on my way to work, 16 on my way home)
11 - pairs of red Olympic mittens I spotted on my way to work this morning
427 - the number of facebook friends I currently have
2 - the number of blog followers I have (thanks Delena & Steve!)
80 - an estimated number of kleenex's I've used since it started snowing around 11 this morning.
12 - the number of times I checked my email/ facebook/ webpage during the course of work today
3 - the number of ice cream sandwiches pauly brought me home tonight!
26 - the number of inches my amaryllis has grown!
Accomplished Sunday
After a very busy week, I spent most of yesterday relaxing. Well actually we spent all afternoon running around, and then I spent the rest of the afternoon/ evening napping. And although I had high hopes of getting lots of sewing done, I spent a lot of time searching things on line and planning out projects.
But I had big plans for today. I got up at a reasonable hour, cleaned the kitchen, made some banana bread, watched some Olympics, cleaned the kitchen again, did some more looking at websites and projects, cleaned the sewing room. Took a nap, worked on a secret project, watched some more Olympics. Made dinner, cleaned the kitchen again. Watched the middle of the Hockey Game, watched the end of Amazing Race, and all of Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters.
I'd say it was a decent day. Its going to be a busy week ahead. I NEED to go to knitting on Thursday night, its been week's since I've been there. And we are planning to have dinner with Mom and Dad on Friday before they leave for Dominican on Saturday. Then off to Ripley Saturday morning. And that doesn't even say anything about work.
A little glimpse of a secret sewing project I'm working on:
I should have gone to bed over an hour ago. Heading there now.
