May 18th - Sew...

today, I got nothin...

I had this crazy idea the other day that I would make myself a couple of summer shirts. I like to sew skirts for Zoey, but as far as other clothes go, I will usually pass. BUT, I saw something cute the other day on-line and figured it was easy enough and wouldn't appear "homemade" with my amateur sewing skills, so I thought I would try. Well... I think the formulas were wrong or something, because I successfully made myself a moo-moo. It's kind of a bummer, wasting an afternoon. I guess I can just turn it into a another skirt for Zoey.

And a side note from yesterday's bird post... Zoey has been playing "staring" contests with us lately. We stare at each other and whoever blinks first, loses. She doesn't realize she blinks, so she doesn't think she ever loses. Even when you tell her! Anyway, this morning before heading out to school, she went to peek at the birdies. Number 4 was out of the nest and on a lower branch in the tree. She was there for a while, so we went to ask what was going on...

She was having a stare contest with the bird!

Jill! I think it's a creative and well executed shot- the rainy days are getting to me, too. I told Andy that I'm struggling with creativity at this point in the month, too.

You had me laughing at moo-moo. Aren't you going to model it??

I bet it's not as bad as you think. That's still a bummer though.
