Very Merry Unbirthday

Yup. It happened. I received a nomination for Mother of the year award today. It was right about the time my poor little man face planted it off a step onto tile floor. Let's just say there was lots of crying. Mostly from Elsie and I. annnnnnd way to much blood to even talk about. ok. moving on before I start crying again.   

Thank God he is totally fine, just has a busted lip and some swollen gums. I can't bring myself to take a picture of it so we'll just look at this sweet picture before the accident. 

While he napped I snapped a few shots for an embroidered piece I made for an upcoming giveaway (so excited for that-eeek!) and then had a tea party using the cake from the shots with Elsie. No more than a second after the words "Tea Party" left my mouth she said "We get dressed up Mama?"... and so we did.

I asked her to be patient while I went and grabbed some forks. 

staring into the face of temptation.

She was overcome.Obviously. I returned to find out more than once apparently.

I still hadn't washed my face or brushed my hair and don't forget was just crying for like an hour so no moneymaker shots today folks

 I just grabbed it off my "to mend" pile and threw it on

fugly face + ill fitted dress = best tea party eva!

I know baby gurl, you ain't mad atcha mama.

this should be everyone's 2012 mantra

Here's a sneaky peek of the piece for the giveaway at the end of the month. Make sure you stop by for that!
