SEW Amazing!

I have had this desire to learn how to sew and now I have the sewing machine to do it. My mother gave me her old sewing machine and this is the first project I completed ALL BY MYSELF. It is a car play mat for my boys. I put 6 car size pockets in it for the cars and then 2 bigger pockets for whatever else.

This fabric was perfect because the road is the right size for my boys to play cars on. Both my boys love Lightening McQueen and they love to play with cars.

After all the fun playing, you just put all the cars in their own pocket and then just roll it up and tie it and then put it in the church bag and bring it to sacrament meeting the next week. It could also be used for long car trips. My boys love it already!

This is the first test drive for Alex. He LOVED it!

New Hardwood Floor

Taun has been working very hard the last couple of weeks to finish the hardwood floor. We are getting carpet in the majority of the living room but we wanted to leave the entryway as hardwood. Taun sanded the old floor (took him forever to do it with his little sander), and then he stained it and put polyurethane on it. It was so dusty and stinky so the kids and I went to my mom's for two weekends in a row. Taun did such a great job on the floor and I definately like it way better than the old floor.

CRAFTERS WANTED

Dermatagraphism

What is dermatagraphism, you ask? I had never heard of it until we took Alex to the doctor because of this funky rash he had. He had a rash or welts anywhere we touched him or if he would rub up against something he would get all rashy.

The doctor took one look at him and said, "dermatagraphism." I had to ask Taun several times to tell me what the dr. called it because I could never remember how to say it.

When we looked it up it said, "dermatagraphism; the ability to write on skin."

That is exactly what we could do, write words on his skin (barely touching him) and seconds later he would have a welt in the form of whatever word we wrote.

There is no cure for it and all you can do is give them antihistamines. Alex gets Claritin during the day and Benadryl at night. Sometimes it gets really itchy and he just scratches and then it gets worse. Poor kid!

Homemade Doughnuts

I made my first batch of homemade doughnuts tonight and they were YUMMY!!

They turned out looking sort of pretty also. I think my oil was too hot so when I turned it down they were golden brown instead of really brown. I love having the time to do this sort of fun things with my family.

The STATS are in!
