I made this tutu the other night for my best friend’s new baby Lillian. Hopefully she won’t visit the site and see it before I mail it to her!

My jaw hurts so bad. It’s been hurting for a while but it’s getting progressively worse. I have TMJ but my medical doctor says it’s a dental issue and my dentist says it’s a medical issue. I’m finding out that this is a very common problem (finding out who will treat what) and most people end up just having to deal with it because no one will cover any kind of treatment. The only thing I’ve been told is to take nutritional supplements to make sure I’m getting all the vitamins and minerals that I need. It was better while I was pregnant, but a lot of things improve with pregnancy and return after delivery. Such as my chronic head aches. They were, for the most part, gone and have now started coming back. The TMJ no doubt contributes to my head aches. I just wish there was something I could do about it since neither of my doctors/dentist think that it’s their area to treat. It’s so bad, my jaw clicks on the right side every time I open my mouth and some times it gets stuck and I have to wiggle my jaw back and forth until it pops back to where it will open. UGH. My head has hurt all day because of this. I’m going to lay down and watch a movie with the hubby.

I made some tutu’s! They are so stinking adorable!!!!! I bought a bunch of tulle because it was on sale so I’m going to be making more. I listed one on ebay if you are interested. I also included a pair of matching leg warmers in the auction. Fun!

I’m having way too much fun up here in my craft room!

Would you say that I look 17? I will admit, I do look young… but 17? I was at the fabric store today and it was pretty busy at the cutting counter so I was playing with the girls while I waited and a woman started talking to me. She said I look like a “Hollywood Mom” whatever that means. I assume it’s a good thing because when she said that all the other women at the cutting counter agreed. Then the woman cutting my fabric asked how old I was and I told her that I’m 23 and she said “Wow really? I was guessing 17″ and again all the women at the cutting counter agreed. What is it? Is it the patterned thermal with the thumb holes? The torn jeans? The brown and pink Converse? Maybe I should invest in a pair of mom jeans. Maybe then I would look “old enough” to have kids. At least they were nice about it. Some people are rude to me when they think I’m a teenager with two babies.

I love musicals and I was going through my assignments today and saw Wicked tickets. I was thinking it was like… wicked tickets… like you know… “Wow those are some wicked tickets” lol but I was wrong. It’s actually for a broadway musical called Wicked. Now I really want to see it but it’s not showing around here anywhere. Too bad.

Okay I’m off to work on my newest creation… I have a feeling it will make you giggle.

I’ve been thinking up all kinds of cute things that I want to make for the girls. I used to take my clothes and cut them up and make new things out of them… and I think that I’m going to take some of my old clothes but cut them up and make some things for the girls. Idea, ideas, ideas…
I wish I could sew as good as my Mommy. She’s an expert. Every stitch is perfectly in place. Everything she makes is perfect and looks like it was purchased at a store. We were talking tonight and she told me she’s been doing it since she was 9 so that may explain why she’s so dang good. I want to be like her. I want my girls to grow up with a fun Mom like I had. I remember my Mom was always baking something or working on a new craft project. Now she makes hand made soap. It’s THE best soap on the entire planet. It makes your skin feel sooooooo good. It doesn’t dry you out and it smells amazing. I should post more about her soap sometime. I promise if any of you ever got a chance to try some, you would never use any other soap again. It’s that good.
Anyway, I’m going to go watch a movie. I wish I could afford some discount home theater seating because that would be freaking amazing.
