Going Wild

Hi everyone,
       It's Monday again and I figured it was time for a new post! I'm in my second Color Theory class right now, starting week 2 so hopefully I'll have some time to post this week, because it's almost identical to the last CT class. :)
        I'm officially moved into "Amelia's Room". We had the 3rd bedroom as Aarons computer room, and my craft room but his computer gets SOO hot I couldn't stand it. So, we put Mia's toys in with his computer. Kept her bed and dresser in her room and moved my butting table and sewing table in. I love it now! The next few weeks I'm woking on a dear friend on mine, Kate's, order of mama cloth. She sent me some lovely fabrics and now all I have to do it cut them out and sew them up. I think cutting fabric is the absolute worst part of the process. I wish I had a die cut machine so I could just crank them out and they'd each be perfect. :) Hmmmm.. If you're a special someone you should take a hint here ( Accuquilt Pro with custom dies would make an awesome xmas gift!)

       The other day I met up with a friend and took some photos of her and her son who is 5 months old and SUCH a cutie!

Next up I'll be working on cloth diapers for him! Squeeee!

Other than that- not a lot going on. We are holding off on a lot of things like planting our seed starters because Aaron still hasn't gotten work yet. He takes his State Test on the 18th and after that can be picked up for work! It's been 5 months so I hope it happens SOON! :D

I also plan to join The Alaska Club when he gets back to work. It's a full gym with daycare so I will be able to go an hour a day and have Mia taken care of. They also provide nutritionists and personal trainers.

In other news- We have decided to go PALEO! I feel it will be the best life choice I've made in the last year. Nothing man made, no dairy, no gluten.. I've just bought 2 new books about it and I'm excited to learn more! 

We also signed up at http://www.paleoplan.com/

Which provides weekly menus already planned and a FULL shopping list! :) I think it will help us stay on track, and at $9.99 a month, you can't beat it!

More vacation!

Hi everyone!! We are officially back into the swing of things here. Three weeks was the perfect amount of time for a vacation. We spent 1 week in Washington with Aaron's dad. He has a charming farmhouse with 20 acres. Purrrrfect for homesteading! Its so quaint and adorable. We spent St Patricks day in Seattle crammed into a tiny pub listening to live music and having some drinks. We then went to Northern Oklahoma to stay with my dad for 2 weeks. It was rainy the first few days and then beautifully warm weather the rest of the time! We went to the zoo, aquarium, salt plains, and Amelia spent almost every waking hour outside barefoot! She is having a hard time not being able to just open the screen door and go outside to play like she could at Papa's. My dad lives in my grandparents house as of last year when my grandpa passed away. My grandma was always gardening and her yard looked so fabulous! Well during repairs to the house, and lack of time the gardens were overgrown. Aaron and I spent the last 3 days cleaning, fertilizing, planting, and sowing 8 garden beds. All the rocks you see in the photos were actually in the flower beds too! My grandpa and his dad were huge collectors and my great grandpa made a living from making jewelry and furniture from stone pieces. Now my dad has TONS of rock to worth through. :) Bahaha. We planted tall decorative grasses along the shed, with lavender seeds in-between. Lavender will help keep flies and moths away, which are a big nuisance in the summer there. I'm happy with it and can't wait to see update photos from my dad of all the plants growing!

Sorry this post is all over the place, I'm still unpacking, and my classes started up again today!

I have several projects to start this week which include

Cutting fabric for a mama cloth order
