  Thursday was day 300 of the year and day 300 of my Project 365 of 2011! Are any of you doing a Project 365, this year? How exciting is it to get to 300??! I can’t believe there are only 65 days left of 2011. WOW. Let’s make them matter.  Since my husband went out town on business, this week, I’ve had a lot of alone time in the evenings after the littles go to bed. I’ve spent that time watching Mad Men (I’m on season 3 already! <3) and crocheting these miniature doilies. I added a simple pin to the back and so they can be placed anywhere. Above, I pinned it to a piece of lace hem tape and tied it around my head. Voila! Instant headband. I will be listing some mini doily pins tomorrow and through the weekend. I have a plethora of colors available! And since my stash of hem tape has grown a bit in the past few months, I think I’ll be sending a piece along with every mini-doily for you to use however you like. Stay tuned! One of my favorite people graduates from college, tomorrow. I’m going to dress up for the occasion. I rarely wear dresses. I have only a few I like, so they get saved for special events. I think college graduation warrants getting prettied up. To get myself used to air touching my legs (ha!), I put on a dress, this morning. It’s a purple pinstripe button down (shirt?) dress. I paired it with my yellow flats and I was good to go. A day of pretty!  Well, it only lasted about 3 hours. My mom suggested we go thrifting and…well, I like to do that in comfort. That means my Keens. My raggedy, almost two-year old Keens are my most favorite shoes. They’re the most comfortable. I’ve waded through a flooded street in them! The insole could use a replacing and the tops could use a cleaning, but I still love them and wear them whenever I need to do a lot of walking. Needless to say–they would have clashed terribly with my dress. So, I changed and that was the end of my dress-wearing for the day. I drifted back into mommy-frumpiness. At least I was comfortable.  It was pretty while it lasted.
I will probably only get to kiss my babies goodbye. I’ll say a prayer for daddy, who gets to do the morning routine by himself, and for Grandma Linda, who is having a sleepover with Andrew at her house tomorrow. I’m going to miss my boys and a good day of thrifting, but it will be so worth it. It’s a time to celebrate! |
