Monday, January 01, 2007 Happy New Year! We had a nice low-key New Years with Teagan...we ordered Pizza Hut (yum!!), played some Mario Kart on Gamecube and watched Miami Vice. Teagan didn't want to go to sleep until she rang in the new year, so she was up until after midnight-yikes, we'll get on a better sleep schedule soon. Here are my New Year's resolutions: Keep our house cleaner, keep our car cleaner, do more sewing and knitting and reading. I don't know, I don't want to be too rigid because I know I'll break all of these resolutions. posted by Janetnedra | 12:19 PM (0) comments Tuesday, November 28, 2006 Bah. Snow. I really love how beautiful the snow looks out my window, all whistler village like and bright, but I am getting bloody tired of being stuck at my house not able to drive my car. I just read in our local paper that the municipality has excess funds for snowplows and salters-then why the hell aren't they plowing our side streets for god's sake? Not only this but I am freaked out of other drivers fishtailing and roaring down the icy streets at 80 kms/hr. Maple Ridge is FILLED with trucks and SUV's and crazy drivers who think they are immortal. I'm done now. posted by Janetnedra | 10:18 PM (0) comments Saturday, October 28, 2006 I've spent a nice evening deconstructing t-shirts and sewing a fleece baby blanket and finishing a pair of pajama pants. Woo hoo! I really needed to do this. There is something cathartic in pulling out the ol' sewing machine and just going to work on fabric with nary a care in the world. I almost reached the point of actually cutting out my dress pattern but I think I just feel like watching TV now. I'll post pictures soon. posted by Janetnedra | 9:28 PM (0) comments Friday, October 27, 2006 I decided to treat myself and buy the book Sew U today-I also threw in a copy of Jane just for good measure. I'm stoked (haha, Laguna speak) to get back into sewing, as long as Teagan lets me. She's been needing more attention lately because of her teething so any projects I've wanted to work on will just have to wait, but I have so many ideas for sewing, beginning with a new lavender fleecie baby sleeping bag which should see her through 12 months and a fleece blanket for walks. I was at Fabricland tonight and picked up a few fleece remnants. For me I want to sew a couple skirts, pajama pants and work on my DKNY black dress pattern I've had for like 4 years now. posted by Janetnedra | 9:02 PM (0) comments Saturday, October 21, 2006 So, I am in the midst of furiously trying to finish the last 100 pages of my online book club's October selection, Little Earthquakes. It is a pretty good read. The characters are all new moms plodding through the early days of motherhood and I think it is safe to say it hits pretty close to home. I wonder what our next pick will be, I might try suggesting the new Janet Fitch book Paint it Black. I just had my nightly mug of Ovaltine and am trying not to turn on Saturday Night Live. Must. read. book. posted by Janetnedra | 11:32 PM (0) comments Monday, October 16, 2006 Teagan is getting a tooth or two. She's been very drooly lately and I can feel the little tooth (teeth?) on the bottom gum. The last few days she's been in pain, I've been giving her Hyland's homeopathing teething tablets and baby Tylenol for bedtime. Last night she slept for four hour stretches as opposed to the night before when she was up every hour. I just love her so much and even more when I know she's in pain. I feel so protective of her, like a mother bear. posted by Janetnedra | 9:08 PM (0) comments Saturday, October 14, 2006 I really want to take an art class, something that I can do for myself so I feel creative again. I've been looking at pottery, soapstone or wood carving. I may have to wait until Teagan will be able to stay at home with her daddy and not have to nurse every couple hours. In the meantime I will refine my search and pick out the perfect class. Any suggestions? posted by Janetnedra | 9:27 PM (0) comments |
