2 Weeks 20 Diapers

It's all a blur... but it feels really good to have them done :)

Actually it's more like 20 Medium Pocket Diapers and 20 Inserts

I also cut out 6 dipes for Taters and got one of those done - Where's the paper bag smiley when you need it? I'd like to finish those this week. Then I plan to start some Christmas sewing!

Want a good upper-body workout?

Just get a snap press!!

Never buy another peice of exercise equipment again!

Just go snap-happy once a day and ache your muscles into submission!

I never knew how difficult snapping with an industrial snap press could be until I got one, and tried it for myself. I got it just before I had Taters and I think I probably gave myself a hernia the first time I tried to apply snaps to a diaper. It takes some serious force (or perhaps I really should work out more.) I can only apply snaps to diapers in small increments. I think 6 diapers is my limit. I just applied snaps to 6 diapers and I fear that if I try to continue tonight, my arm just might fall off.

Hugga is coloring with markers at my feet at the moment. She didn't take a nap today at Mamaws house and so she slept from the time I picked her up, straight through dinner, until about 9pm when I was trying to get Taters to sleep. Then, of course, Hugga wakes up - energized and hungry. Now that she's had something to eat she's not ready to go to bed. So coloring it is. She dumps the entire bucket of markers all over the floor, picks the marker that she wants to use (usually blue these days) and colors all over the page. Then she puts the markers back in the bucket, dumps them out again, and puts them back in the bucket again. She has an obsession with organizing things and I know where she gets it from. I hate cleaning, but I love to ogranize things - go figure.

Why am I blogging?


Ummmm.. everyone else is doing it!? Is that really a good enough answer? I've had a LiveJournal for years and at this point it's mostly just to keep in touch with the people that I've known for so long on there.

I guess I just see my girls growing up way too fast and find that there's another year almost over and realize that I should write down some things so I don't forget them later on.

I also want somewhere to put everything I sew to see my progress so I'll be posting that here as well.

So (sew) stay tuned because there's more to come!
