Posted in: Oops Didn't I Choose?


Ahhhhhhh!!!! And that’s a scream of terror not joy, not happiness. Do you see what I’m talking about? Aaaaccccckkkk!!!

It’s broken!! BROKEN!!! Waaaaah!!!! Waaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Many months ago Isabelle leaned on my laptop screen and pushed it all the way flat back. It is not meant to do that!! The screen went dark, I screamed and raised the screen and adjusted the brightness. I noticed the hinge area looked a little wonky but it opened and closed and it worked just fine. Just an occasional squeak. Well last night when I opened it there was a very loud creak. Isabelle was sleeping, it was dark, and I didn’t think much except wow that was loud, hope it won’t disturb Isabelle. Then this morning when I opened it I saw it right away! WAAAAHHHHH!!! And now the lid is a little crooked and won’t stay shut. Aaaahhhh!!!

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! Do you think it’s fixable?

Last weekend Alan brought me to the quilt store to look for some piggy fabric. They didn’t have any. Oh woe! So as consolation we went to Joann’s and I bought some new fabric even though I have a lot of $1 fabric leftover still. Ahhh I can’t stop myself. It’s my new obsession! Instead of yarn it’s fabric. I have been knitting though, believe it or not. A row here, a row there on Miss Muffet.

But fabric…aaaahhhh fabric…my new joy. Here is some, just some of the new fabric I bought. One of these fabrics (I haven’t decided which one yet) will be this next dress for Isabelle. I have no idea how to make it though.

Here’s page 1 and page 2 of the directions. I don’t know how they made the scrunchy top part of the dress. Anyone have any ideas?

Oh and I called Apple. It may cost anywhere from $250 and up to fix my poor computer. :(

Quiet Weekend

We had a quiet relaxing weekend with a trip to the park on Sunday. I love watching Isabelle play.

Isabelle doesn’t like the swing. She always has this frantic look on her face when we put her in and she wants OUT, OUT, OUT!

She did like this fake drive through window. It had fake buttons and she was happily pushing them.

Buckets! So fun! Some little girl threw them down and went playing with something else for a bit. And Isabelle picked them up. She had so much fun standing there shaking them. When the little girl came back I had to pry her little fingers off. She DID NOT want to let go.

Out within minutes once we got in the car.
