Three Things Thursday #5

Hi everybody!  Here's my quick three things for the day.  I really need to take some pictures so there's something exciting on this blog. :)

1.  I think that somebody should invent self-cleaning dishes.  :)

2.  I use an electric toothbrush like this one, and it's probably close to 6-7 years old.  It's been working great until last weekend when it wouldn't turn OFF!  I asked my husband what to do, and he said, smack it against the sink.  So here I am, smacking my toothbrush against the sink every time I use it to get it to turn off.  It's pretty funny.  Then we discovered that if you put a running toothbrush onto the charger, it will stop it.  I'm glad we figured something else out, my mirrors are really gross because of the spray.  I think I should take a regular toothbrush to the hospital when this kid comes, they may not release me thinking I've gone nuts if I'm smacking my toothbrush on their sink. :)

3.  I (try) to make bread about once a week.  It's cheaper, and tastes better, and once you get the hang of it, it's done in no time. :)

Well weren't those random things?  Thanks for reading!

Three Things Thursday #4

Hi there!
I like this three things Thursday deal.  At least it's keeping me blogging once a week, huh?  :)  I have been working on lots of things, I just need to finish and take pictures to show you all!

#1.  I love the dollar store---as long as I have a list when I go in and stick to it. :)  Yesterday it was batteries and bins for the baby's changing table.  They had both in stock, it was a great feeling!  Just need to add some vinyl love to the bins and then I'll show you!  (Or maybe I won't and I'll show you anyways!)

#2.  Last night was fantastic!  I made a strawberry pie (I really do need to share that recipe, it's absolutely delicious), & my husband and I went and stocked up on case lot sale items.  We bought 4 whole cases plus odds and ends of things!  I have NEVER bought that much at a case lot sale, but it made me feel super grown up and prepared.  :)

#3.  I bought a big spool of purple thread a few weeks ago, and still haven't used it!  I need to find something purple to make soon.  Oh, and I also bought blue since I didn't have any boy colors.  I figured since our kid's a boy, I needed to make sure he was taken care of! :)

Have a fantastic day and thanks for reading!

Three Things Thursday #3

Hi everybody!  Let's see what I have to ramble on about today, shall we? :)

1.  I've been knocking out lots of projects this past week.  I got my sister's birthday present made, covered a travel wipes case with vinyl, and nearly finished making myself a nursing cover.  I still have a few projects in the works, but I figure it's good I haven't done much yet.  It will keep me busy and partly distracted up until the baby comes.

2.  I loved general conference this past weekend.  Especially this talk, and this talk.

3.  I have been thinking of a way to keep all my personal stuff together in my diaper bag.  I simply don't want to carry a diaper bag AND a purse, so I decided to make myself a clutch like this one from I am Momma Hear Me Roar.  I have decided to add little loops on each side so I can attach a strap to it if I need to run to the store without the babe.  I'm going to add some pockets and things too.  Her tutorial looks awesome, I can't wait to try it!

Well that's all for today!  Have a great one, and thanks for reading!

Three Things Thursday #2!

*Last week I decided to share three things on Thursdays.  So here we go!

1.  I’ve been working hard this week trying to get lots done.  I am exhausted, but it’s been wonderful to wipe out our cars, hang up pictures and artwork I’ve finished, mop my kitchen floor (THAT was a workout!), and get started actually working on baby projects (it’s about time!) :)

 

2. My flowers in my yard are gorgeous! Thanks to the previous owners, lots and lots of bulbs were planted and coming up. Every day or two I have a new surprise waiting for me in my yard. And my apple tree is blooming, and it is beautiful!  My husband kind of chuckles when I tell him how amazing our yard is. I didn’t grow up with fruit trees or lots of flowers like he did, so it’s magical to me.

 

(These are a really vibrant purple in real life, and of course they are my favorite!)

3.  I  have been having the hardest time finding fabric that I like at Joann’s lately.  And that’s really the only affordable fabric store in my area.  And some days, I feel like I have to break the bank at Joann’s.  I guess I’m just really cheap—but my husband appreciates it, so that’s good I guess!  I’ve been rethinking my fabric stash and becoming more creative to make things work.  I’ve got a project cooking that I CANNOT wait to show you! :)

Thanks for reading!
