Primitive Mom of Two

That's what I feel like today...being Talkative....but alas my best friend is working....my girlfriend from school is probably working...and my parents are hopefully on the road driving down here...and hubby is working...so I get to talk to all of YOU!! Aren't you so lucky!

I took a moment to catch up on the blogs that I follow this morning and found some interesting posts. With Easter right around the corner our house has a bag of Jelly Beans, which were confiscated by my hubby, and , well we DID have peeps but yeah I ate those. Ever wonder where these lovely treats came from? Well, check out The Muddy Moose Bath Boutiques newest post and you'll find out. Click HERE.

Now as i perused my list I found a wonderful giveaway over at my friend Briga's blog. check it out HERE. She has featured the Etsy shop of Aromalite, and I have to tell you I have quite a few of her items, from lip balm, to tealights, and even a sample of her great body spray and Milk Bath!! All great items...hop on over for your chance to win some great products from her.

I am very excited to sew today, I have a new pattern for graduated baby blocks that looks fun to make, but alas I must make myself do the final parent cleaning in preparation for the visit from Yaya and Papa. I think I can get both done today though so be on the watch for a new post later tonight with pictures. I did get some creative inspiration last night and added 3 more items to my etsy shop..hop on ever to see them http://www.primitivejunkie.etsy.com/!

Since I didn't have any great pictures to share I thought I would share a small sample of what is in my favorites on etsy right now! Enjoy and give these great artists some love! (they are at the bottom of my blog)

Good morning my wonderful readers. I know it has been a couple of days since I last posted, time flies when you have things to do :) Monday was my if it could go wrong day it did. First our dog Samson was sick all day, then my washer quit spinning so it wasn't washing right and then I looked outside and it was snowing/raining and cold. But my hubby came home early, found the problem and fixed the washer. It was only a $12 part so that was great, then it did stop snowing though it was still and wet, rainy, and cold day. Samson did feel better yesterday and seems to be back to his normal self today. No more snow or rain, but still cold today, but we are on a warming trend according to the weather man, so slowly the week is getting better. I got some cleaning done yesterday and a few more items added to my etsy shop so I felt pretty productive yesterday.

Today I am watching my girlfriends daughter for her while she works and the boys are really excited about having her come over. They have Karate class with her and have been asking me since we got up an hour ago when she's going to get here..lol (she's 9) Today's goal is to finish up laundry and get the kitchen and bathroom cleaned as my parents are coming down to visit tomorrow with their two little four legged friends. Yup I'm gonna have a full house for a while but the kids haven't really seen them since Christmas.

Creatively I have a few projects lined up. I got a pattern for soft baby blocks that I am going to get the pattern cut out for today. I do need to get fusible fleece for it, so maybe we'll got out to get that tomorrow or after the boys' friend leaves today. Also going to do some spot cleaning on the carpets as a touch up before my parents get here tomorrow afternoon/evening.

So with that I will leave you with a reminder to sign up for my giveaway! Just click the picture to the right and it will take you to the post. I hope to have something a little more interesting for you later today or tomorrow :)
