My Week of Mischief - Part 2

After unraveling the mysteries of the toilet the other day, I discovered that closets are wonderful hiding places.



Mom decided to put a stop to that game too soon, so I retaliated by drinking all of her water.



Apparently it wasn't a good idea to spill the leftover water on the carpet and play in it. This got me stuck in time out.



As much as I tried to resist, I couldn't stave off the sleep.

My Week of Mischief - Part 1

With my first birthday around the corner, I figured I had some exploring/catching up to do so that I'm no longer mistaken for a baby.

I started in the bathroom, which is filled with wonders like mirrors and water. I then discovered my new favorite toy...its called a toilet.



Later that evening, I spied on the neighbors...



... and then I rocked myself to sleep with my built-in pacifiers.

Boogie Nights

Given Isaiah's love of decent music we recently decided to switch out the children's lullabies with regular music for adults. Ahhh...sweet relief humming over the baby monitor all night. :) It was working quite well. The other night I was exhausted and left an India Arie CD in the player. Its a little on the upbeat side, but I thought I'd give it a shot and see if he would sleep to it. I started hearing some strange movement over the monitor shortly after laying him down. This is what I found when I investigated further...

About Me For a Minute

First, I'm super excited that my craft blog (ohcrafy1.com) is getting a decent amount of visitors already! What's more exciting is that I'll finally be getting that super fantastic blog theme soon (I'm waiting on Mark to get that worked out for me). Hopefully the new look will make my blog look a bit more professional than it looks today.

Secondly, Ezine is publishing the craft articles I've submitted (I think this is helping my blog traffic). This is a no-brainer, but I was worried they would reject me for some reason.

Third (ly?), I have finished the glorious "Patchy Sweater Coat" that I co-designed with my sister. I have plenty of math ahead of me to meet the requirements of the website I'm submitting to and some photos to take, but its essentially done. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it gets accepted for the Fall or Winter issue. If it gets accepted I can put it up on the blogs.

Fourth, my attempt at a writing a book on decoupage is going better than expected. It probably won't be finished for several more months, but at least its underway (an I'm getting hits galore on this topic so hopefully it will be somewhat successful).

Fifth, we're hoping to move soon! Our plan is to rent our townhouse given the poor real estate market so spread the word. If anyone knows of a reliable renter pass on my info. Its a 3-bed, 1.5 bath, 2 car garage, 2-story townhouse. Less than 2 years old, hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling slate fireplace, matching slate tile in the kitchen, freshly painted, purified water filtration system in the kitchen, maintained by a local, professional property management company, and much much more!
