Your hubby sounds very wise.
Please ignore the popup on my blog it only shows up the first time you visit. Sorry.

Yes, he is very wise! He knows me better than I know myself! Thanks for stopping by, Karen.
Listen to your hubby and slow down. What you don't finish today will still be there tomorrow.
Our Happy Happenings
Livin' With Me
Don't you just love nesting? I almost want to get pregnant again just so that I can do more nesting.
I really need to work on organizing my recipes too. Good luck with your list!
Is the support group a mommy group? I joined our local MOMS Club and it was a great decision! For both me and my son.
:)
I need to organize my sewing stuff too. Thanks for the reminder! I hope you are able to get everything done. I like the list in the sidebar.
Glad you're feeling better!
I hope you get some rest while doing those other tackles. Sewing dresses will be an enjoyable tackle! Happy TT!

Any ideas you have for organizing your sewing craft supplies, I'm all eyes.
You are wise to take care of yourself. You can only care for your family & others once you are well yourself. Sorry, that's the RN coming out in me.
Great tackle. Been working in the sunflower garden myself. Come see!
For your daily dose of vintage goodness & a bit of silliness, stop by Confessions of an Apron Queen, the home of Vintage Thingies Thursdays.
Hope you've had productive tackling!
I'm still waiting for the nesting to kick in.
Those are some fun-sounding tackles! Good work!
Oh my daughter has been soooooo on me to sew her a dress! I really need to get moving! I hope you post pictures of them when you are done!
Sometimes those little tasks are the best ones to tackle.
Yay for nesting! I hope you are feeling all better soon! I need to organize the craft supplies in my closet, I'm looking for a cheap dresser to store things in.

Hope you were able to accomplish your goals and take it easy :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Have you ever made pillowcase dresses? I have never learned the talents of being a seamstress, but they seem like they would be fairly easy to make, and they are so cute on! I would love to learn how to make matching ones for my girls (even my almost 15 yr old said she would like one as a shirt to match the little girls if the fabric was "cool". I really have to get a pattern or something! :)
Do try and take it easy, it's hard to do anyhow with little ones, believe me I know!!!
Have fun shopping for fabric! One of my addictions! (wonder if they have a support group for that?!) :-D
Nesting-that is work, ya know!
Nesting-that is work, ya know!
hope you post your dresses you make!!
Hi Kelly! Just stopping by for a visit! Haven't checked your blog in awhile! So glad you are taking it easy!
BTW! Tell us about your new blog at WMWH if you want to...I'd love to see it!
