I just realized the other day that I haven't blogged in a while. I never was good at keeping a journal or anything like that! I can't believe it is the end of July already! The kids have had their check-ups (Dekker's 30 month and Emily's 9 month), we have made it through 1 family reunion, I have interviewed and not been chosen for 3 jobs (that's deflating for the ego!) and time just seems to be flying before my eyes! Emily is going to be a year in 6 weeks!!! So crazy!
We are getting ready for our annual trek to Jumonville family week. For those that don't know, Jumonville is a Christian camp and every year Family Week is offered. Since Andy and I had Dekker, we have been going. It is so much fun, but its also a lot of work. This year we will be packing for 4 people including clothing, bedding, etc. I have been trying to be smart this year and not put off packing until the night before (which is what I usually do, then realize everything I have forgotten!) I am also making lists of clothing, etc. for me and the kids. It has taken 32 years, but I might actually be getting a little more organized!
Now on to the crafting -- I haven't been able to sew much. I was able to finish my first side snapping diaper, which is a little big in Emily, but it should fit soon (pictures to follow). I did get a pair of snap pliers from a fellow cloth diapering mama on cafemom dot com. They are wonderful! I ordered my snaps from kamsnaps dot com and they are wonderful too! They have so many colors to choose from! I also used the downdilly daffodil knit diaper cover pattern and made a wool diaper cover for Em. I just need to add buttons and felt it then lanolize it and it will be ready to use!
Next up -- hopefully tomorrow night -- a mei tai carrier for our week at Jumonville. I have the material, I have the pattern, I just need to find the time to cut it out and sew my heart out! Well, back to packing and maybe (if I'm lucky) some fabric cutting!
