March Maddness (1-12th, My Birthday!) Long Post


Things have been so hecktic this year I feel like I have no time for blogging anymore. So I have decided I will blog twice a month at the least, once in the middle on the month and once at the end/begining of the month. You might have noticed that I had started last month.
 
(Sewing projects are the 2nd half of the post)
 
On the 6th we had to take Baby in for a follow up. Last month we found out she had a bad care of earmites and an infection caused by them. She is all better now :)
 
 
Baby does not like going to the vet and hides behind her daddy everytime. Isn't she a cutie! (And my handsome hubby too!)
 
Later that evening we had tickets to see WICKED!!!! I had seen it before but this was Hubby's first time.
 
 
While we were there we ran into our very good friends who were out on a birthday outing as well.
 
 
Birthday girls! Look we are twins!
 
 
 Over the weekend we celebrated my birthday (24!! I know I am sooooo old HAHA). We went up to visit my family in SCV. It was a good day.
 
 
I got my hair cut by a close friend who graduated beauty school, and I love it. We also went out to lunch and after that I went out with my sister to take our neighbor's 12 year old out shopping for her birthday. I was pooped by the time we were finished. But no, they had a surprise for me! My sister treated everyone (and by everyone I mean myself, my 4 sisters, sister-in-law/friend, and 2 other friends) to dinner and drinks! She is so sweet. AND they caught me! I was sung to wearing a rediculous hat and had ice cream smeared on my face LOL. Oh Boy.
 
 
 On sunday Christine had a party to celebrate her birthday:

It was a blast :)
 
(Hubby with his Green Elixer, that is what I call it anyway) At Ferralls for my birthday, on Tuesday.

After lunch we went and saw Oz.
 
 
How about some projects I have been working on?
 
Still in the yarn mood:
 
Crochet Roses
 
Cabled Headband
 
 
Dishcloth Hangers
 
Boot Cuffs
 
Dishcloths
 
Ball?
 
Scarf Thingy
 
I needed a new scrubby for the dishes. Hubby likes this one, I will be making more :)

Get A Clue and Birthday Giveaway!

Well, today is the day. Ready to get your clue on?
 
 
Everyone is reminising on the good old times when they used to read Nancy Drew. Honestly, she was really my sisters thing. My Grandma had gotten me the book at first but I got stuck on the first one and decided to give them to my sister. Though later on as I got older I tried reading them again and I actually enjoyed them (I will be getting them for my kids some day).
 
Here are my little projects I came up with (though after seeing everyone elses works I find I am some what lacking in creativity).

This is going to be a pillow. Because of all the crazyness of this weekend I have not had a chance to finish it up (required a run to Joann's).

Photo: $30 when finished, this will be a throw pillow. 

This is a pouch I made a friend for her birthday, just 2 days before mine :)
Nancy Drew
 
 Since it is (on the 12th) my birthday I have decided to have a giveaway. I have a bag of random black colored sewing/craft items. I will add some more of something to it too.

Requirements: Leave a comment with your fave color (might add something of it in the bag). US only, I am sorry but postage just stinks right now.
