Things That are Beautiful
The Mia Top from Pink Fig Patterns. It's supposed to be a shirt, but I made it into a dress for Evany. It was my first time using elastic thread and I about chucked the whole thing out the window until I realized what the problem was. The directions say to hand wind the thread onto the bobbin loosely, but it was too loose when I sewed it on and it wasn't shirring the bodice properly. Finally, after a few hours of messing with it, I found someone in an online forum who mentioned that if you have drop-in bobbin (like mine) the thread will need to go on tightly. *hair pulling* Why do they not mention this in the directions?! So now you know.

Cubicle Fever
My baby Hylton; he gets very upset if I don't let him sit on the middle shelf of the tall cabinets for a bit, and he's happy as pie when I do.
I wonder what will happen when the shelves are full of kitchen paraphernalia...?

More Tales From the Ghetto Kitchen...That's Not So Ghetto Anymore
Okay, well, I'm already going to break my earlier resolve to post more pictures of the kids than the kitchen. What can I say?
Our ox was totally in the mire yesterday as the countertop company is coming to measure our cabinets today. Not only that, but we recruited Ben to assist with our sinning as well. And good thing, too, we never would have finished without Ben. We started out Friday evening with Ben and Dave getting two of the tall cabinets in and the one above the fridge. We were feeling pretty low knowing that it took 4 people ALL night to get three cabinets in and knowing that we had a full day of other activities we were committed to on Saturday. Not a thing got done on Saturday, of course, and that left Sunday. I got two more base cabinets installed while I stayed home from church with sick kids and Doug went to teach his class. Doug told Ben later that he knew the short base cabinets must be a lot easier to put in because I was able to do them. @#$*%&! ....I know; it was joke... They were easier. And here they are:
Looks like a tight fit there... (ahem...)
Soon there will be a working sink and dishwasher in my kitchen. What will that be like, I wonder...?
Our first kitchen storage: fish-fish
And one cute, cuddly baby with his lovey, Crusoe
On another, somewhat related note, Runningfan asked me what I will blog about after the kitchen is done, and I must admit it has had me in a puzzle. But along with Kitchen Transformation, starting today I will be working on Self Transformation. That is, losing all this fast-food, prepared food, post-kitchen, post-holiday, post-winter hibernation chub that I have accumulated along the way. After reaching a low point in December, I signed up for the half marathon that is arriving quickly in June. I have not run a jot since buying this house and I need to not only get back in shape, but must also shed the undesirable extra baggage hanging around my hip area. I am relying heavily on my memory muscle to carry me through the first few runs. It starts today, Monday, March 1st, the first day of the month that spring begins. Soon I will be a rock-hard specimen of feminine athleta. Transformation Human underway.
