monday happies + art

so it’s monday, blah…i thought if i named this post “monday happies” that i could trick myself into thinking it, no such luck.  mondays mean switchboard day to me (which i’m totally over)…mondays are the first day of five that i don’t see my husband (absolutely over this too)…monday means tons of homework normally…the only good thing about monday?  it’s one day closer to friday!!!
we had a great weekend, it was SO NICE to have my husband home all weekend.  we got to spend all day saturday and sunday together as a family, so nice. 
i have a sick little at home, poor jade…she has had a terrible migraine since last night, so bad it’s making her stomach sick.  i hate when one of my kids is sick and i can’t be home with them.  seriously, i am NOT cut out to be a working mother! 
here are some art journal entries i did this weekend as well…

i finally did it…

i finally scrapped…last night i actually did four layouts and two art journal pages.  and it felt sooooooo good.  getting through the first page was the worst but once i finished it the ideas just seemed to flow.  i was in my element totally.  it has been ages since i staid up most of the night making art…loved it.

you also know i have a love/hate relationship with sewing.  at eleven last night i got the urge to sew.  i figured it would be the perfect opportunity to work on a project i have been wanting to do…a tshirt quilt.  i have saved all our  old shirts for a few years now…i cut the fronts into a twelve by twelve section…sewed them together…and attached them to an old quilt i had…the cutest thing ever for real.  i will take pics of it tomorrow.  its just a lap quilt but gosh is it cute.

today was joes first day off in the last two weeks so we decided to head to altoona for the day.  we had such a fun time.  it was a much needed day.  we ate at red lobster and walked around the mall…such fun.

out for now
