Birthday Parties & My Schedule

Now that MK is getting on in years (2 3/4 years to be exact!) she's realized that birthday parties are TONS of fun. You have cake, and gifts, and lots of other little kids to play with - how can one go wrong?! She sings along with "Happy Birthday", but sometimes insists it is her birthday :) I'd given her advanced notice that we had a party to attend on Sunday afternoon so she was excited. As soon as nap time was over, we jumped up, got all dolled up for the party and headed out. Here she is before Aiden's party...
At the party - since this was a rodeo clown party, we painted our faces. You can't really tell in the b&w picture (but I love black & white pics!)
And the BIRTHDAY BOY!
We had lots of fun. MK was like a little zombie when we got home - she played so hard!!

MY NEW SCHEDULE: My hubby called my hand a few nights ago and asked why I didn't have a sewing schedule (since I have schedules for everything else!). And he's right! Some nights I sew frantically until 1-2am and some nights I never make it out of the rocking chair from getting MK to sleep. I've tentatively decided to sew on Monday & Wednesday nights after Mary Katherine's bed time, Saturday & Sunday during nap time, and weekend nights are optional. I'm sure there's a psychological word for it, but I require a physical schedule I can see in writing in order to achieve optimal productivity :) Of course there will be rush orders that may require working on an "off" day, but I feel more at ease with my new schedule in place.

Oh, and Christmas. Please be prepared for a cut-off date for Christmas orders. I've gone back and forth on my cut-off date, but I will most likely not take any NEW orders for CHRISTMAS items somewhere after December 10th. So, if your order is for a Christmas item, or a gift for Christmas, please keep this in mind. I will continue to take other orders after the cut-off date, but the Christmas orders will of course take precedence. I want to keep my sanity (at least a little of it) and of course have plenty of QT with my fam during the holidays.

As always, please email me with any questions. I have so been the mom with the shirt for the Christmas picture a week before Christmas. So, if you are that mom too, I'll be glad to squeeze you in ;)
