This one is working out much better, but I had originally done the pocket again, realized that THAT was what I wasn't liking, and un-sewed a bit and put in the corner things on the bottom as well.... WHEW- 2 days gone figuring out how I wanted this thing, but it's done and usable now! And, I can acess all buttons, screens, and even the charging port without removing it from the cover, yay!<br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445152087571617874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb4hXDPiqL8GvBP9V8RV1xuVxqaS-li5c2vQWRVQ9x58e1x0bArI78qakhqzxznwHRyuElgsdjmwNDnwzbNLChISaLKhhuqMBCLfTMWHkLFUo8V4hIBHiwIn8hHnsgDKTJxMxVD5r_aO3T/s400/DSC_0005.jpg" border="0" /></div>TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294074024002329650.post-10670876280300275672010-03-04T05:50:00.001-08:002010-03-04T05:57:41.564-08:00Mini Project<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI5HyKGhlZ96WI9U-wINu7mVHta7JHAwUy8RNm56tIcuGEq6qOXG8plWy3y9w6jwGv4Gnv2s31aXv-X3H_gWq2iXJPifc5lSIdNdeMjXZhr-miqhPi3j0XP6hOm1oetaQam8X8D11qZLU4/s1600-h/DSC_0007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444775930517824226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 265px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI5HyKGhlZ96WI9U-wINu7mVHta7JHAwUy8RNm56tIcuGEq6qOXG8plWy3y9w6jwGv4Gnv2s31aXv-X3H_gWq2iXJPifc5lSIdNdeMjXZhr-miqhPi3j0XP6hOm1oetaQam8X8D11qZLU4/s400/DSC_0007.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div>So we stopped by the bookstore the other night for hubby to grab a book, and I came home with a nook!

Addy, our 2 month old, began to be congested last Wed (Feb 3). At her already scheduled checkup the following day, her pediatrician checked it out, said he heard a bit of fluid in her lungs, but that it was just a virus that would have to run it's course... That same evening (Thurs, Feb 4), I took her into the ER in the evening because she wasn't feeling better and seemed to be running a slight fever. They said the same, but did do an RSV test which came back positive. We were told to use saline drops and suction to keep her nose clear, and to follow up at her regular Dr. the next day.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>That Friday, off we went BACK to the pediatrician with the test results. Again- he told us to continue suction and 'keep an eye out'... Checked her oxygen levels which were fine and said again that he heard a bit of 'gunk' in her lungs...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Friday and Saturday, she stayed the same, actually perking up a bit Sat morning. Sat afternoon though she started spitting up quite a bit and later in the evening seemed to be breathing harder. When we noticed the breathing, which at that point wasn't horrible, but harder than she had been breathing, we headed off to the ER. At that point, it got much worse. The harder she was breathing, the more it wore her out, and it escalated. Five minutes away from the hospital she started wheezing, and at that point we made the decision to continue. If we had stopped, it would have taken longer for an amublance to get to us, so hubby hit the gas harder. As we rushed into the ER, her breathing had slowed dramatically and she was literally losing color by the second. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Following was the scariest moment of my life! 11 medical professionals rushed in (drs, nurses, emts) and got her stabilzed and under an oxygen hood. A call was made and a crew was brought down from the Children's Hospital in Birmingham, AL for her. Around midnight, she was loaded into an ambulance to the airport for a flight up. There was no room for either of us, so we hauled butt in our truck and arrived in Birmingham a few hours after her at 5am Sunday morning.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Thanks to lots of prayers and a very capable medical team, her lungs have cleared up nicely though it will take some time to fully recover. She has been off of oxygen for 24 hrs now and is doing very well. Her IV fluids were cut off this morning, and her eating is slowly getting back to normal, though she is still spitting up a bit (coughing fits tend to gag her, and up it comes).</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We are so grateful for everyone that has been helping to get her back to her normal self, and we're currently holed up in a hotel in downtown Birmingham so that we can visit as often as possible!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Poor baby though- I think she NEEDS a new quilt after this and mommy has one in mind :P</div><br /><p>PS- Brother Matt is doing well, though upset that he still hasn't got to see his sister (hospital is full so she's stuck in special care even though she no longer needs to be there). We've been taking turns keeping him amused, and the hospital has an awesome area for kids with basketball, games, ping pong, etc. I took a break yesterday while Daddy was at the hospital and we went to the Science Center (he IS missing school- I figured something educational/fun was in order LOL)</p>TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294074024002329650.post-69370245013681863212010-02-06T09:27:00.000-08:002010-02-06T09:29:22.408-08:00So little time!There are so many NEW projects that I want to start... books, blogs- I'm getting ideas from all over, but feel like I have no time to do any of them.<br /><br />And the UFOs... some days I feel like just purging that whole bin in my closet.

It's a little big for Addy right now (she is only 2 months old... LOL), but I have a feeling it will be perfect right around her first Halloween! Thanks to the fabric clearance at our local WalMart, the tulle was only 58cents a yard. I think this took around 2 yards, cut into 4 inch strips, then cut down into about 15 inch lengths. I had seen this tutorial in various forms around the web for a few years, and finally have a little girl to make one for... ahh, patience...</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431924476964226818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUBhJ1VnIGRoCOj0EIyGaVGAmuGraIkEonNB2qfcWVrLH1kNf0Imx3f-XvwJwtJ5XOrDy1DBnuvMwMG0kC1zks8__-oPDGWMWNC-pLznF6Lnx2W85ZJjA3BGewAv7YAG-hWOTm_QhJD4fu/s400/DSC_0012.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294074024002329650.post-50021901205956963702010-01-26T17:17:00.000-08:002010-01-26T17:18:58.848-08:00I QUILTED!!!So, I didn't take any pictures, but I swear I finally did some quilting!<br /><br />I loaded backing, batting and top on the frame, and got two whole rows done!

New ResolutionsNow, whether or not those resolutions stick is totally another subject!<br /><br />So, here goes the wishful thinking!<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">1. Get organized!</span></strong> We've moved 6 times in our 10 year marraige and have accumulated a crap ton of things. We try to clear out before every move, but it never works as intended. There are boxes of books (I think?) in my closet that literally haven't been unpacked since 4 houses ago. I think it's high time to start goign through this stuff and get rid of the things we don't use or want anymore.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">2. SEW MORE!</span></strong> Well, maybe not a ton more time wise- hello new baby! But I would like to finish up some older projects and be a lot better at finishing the new projects that I start.<br /><br />Ok... I don't want to overdo it at this point :P <br /><br />So, from me to you- Happy New Year!!!TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294074024002329650.post-5259186298317067442009-12-21T15:31:00.000-08:002009-12-21T15:34:22.138-08:00Also new...<div>THIS!!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417836742589254306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrUtx7fUS5Fa73cIPp6_nEWeUxtBYE_f0CuK5L5fYOkf7SF2Gbqjl9pUvFCd8WTY3pumBkNq7KrcSituHvLutymEFOZ9_PC395wnkB1_FO7kh1iQNmDBPwcTA2l0PQ9t73z4dOzLRUDhro/s320/DSC_0009.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><div>I absolutely love it!

They're a bit plain, but pretty big as far as a stocking goes, so I can fit a lot in there- which I'm sure will please kiddo. I have two more to do for the hubby and myself, and then some sort of name labels, but I haven't quite figured out how I want to do that yet.<br /><br />I've been working on other things too- mostly matching pajama pants for the family for Christmas morning! The two kiddo pants are done except for elastic, which I need to run out and buy today and then I need to whip up some for hubby and I. Hubby isn't thrilled about the idea or the fabric chosen, but he'll suffer through one morning for the sake of some adorable pictures :D<br /><br />Also, I need to work on the tree skirt that my sister has requested for Christmas. I have a set of blocks ready to go for it, just need to cut and get that into a tree skirt shape so it can be quilted and finished off. It probably won't take too long once I actually get around to it, but at a little over 9 months pregnant, my motivation is seriously lacking!TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294074024002329650.post-61006098141409697762009-11-15T18:07:00.000-08:002009-11-15T18:11:08.532-08:00Another annoying 'I'm alive!' post...But better things will be coming!

Pics of quilty things to follow....<br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294074024002329650.post-78134127749924413062009-10-15T09:09:00.000-07:002009-10-15T09:14:57.338-07:00Life in General...<div><div><div>Oh, it's been rough lately! The hubby AND the kid both managed to come down with a flu-ey illness in the last two weeks. And by that, I mean, hubby had it- kiddo had it, then hubby had it again. I must have an awesome immune system (yay! and knock on wood...)</div><br /><div>So quilting has been on the back burner... blah. I've got projects in mind, and I even played with some quilt blocks made out of new fabrics, but so far- nothing that I want to stick with, so I guess more playing is in order! Plans today include buying more batting and at least quilting on something where a top is already done (ok, well, after I make some backings, another blah).</div><br /><div>Hopefully soon I'll get back into the sewing swing of things before I'm derailed again in approximately 7 weeks!</div><br /><div>Here's a bit of sunshine though- I found these growing along the side of our street a week or two ago, and thought playing with the camera was enough fun!</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392860701859294626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5TT-Yw9HWSawN4z-Wx2zGWrYu6ZaOo_PIjqBsDwHoet4oymMCGVjzjyp3xY6rN19QzGZT6xS4qNbFXOOXEyqfN3yhAVRB7a4E-Z527Tep0a6Co0YilZDwsyK71HwTERb18FirakK8DG81/s320/DSC_0021.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392860680335633250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsTDamT275lCmw6RWHUxb3-GGr8LgD94v2WV8bSb953qIABQlslOfYQLpRie5mLTuYWTaWGSbn8HqYHPOfV3SgSWIU02UsGaRq98Q7pQc8uYpIzYkyTu0knzR0KbsqjcpryPqfsryiKrPJ/s320/DSC_0019.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392860694319163970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiki4bJrkiiVRnwd58c5EXat9NO5Fp2of4dg2DdbXq8XFCZsl9O0jYXjI68Gow_pX2dwyFKmm-vvLZQQf4VkEpvzYeQU3yrFqV8syFwWfDKhR4WVQdcJEXBAWszoTCum-w7DZtofVMkb68/s320/DSC_0015.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294074024002329650.post-27229544518660093922009-09-22T14:43:00.000-07:002009-09-22T14:54:26.725-07:00Signs of things to come...<div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384411440828521458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpZWm_Dp6vnHbU5O0_tNp8eL2EYcHUDvw-j8RkHrYkZGW4ewQR9xziYidJBIm1GgAg-58iqBdDf4gjbfOGkfO2jqXsN7YmMaCYzUoksb6xRPRoyMant2gGnIJazFouV21oDZwUkfG69Xd/s320/DSC_0062.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Well, my calander tells me that today means FALL! However, the 90 degree weather, crazy humidity and my frizzy hair are telling me otherwise...

We have something like 15 pine trees in our back yard- I counted last year as I wanted to know how many trees were to blame for the endless raking.<br /><br /><br /></div><div>And then there are other signs... signs of <em>big</em> changes to come! Welcome changes, but changes nonetheless. Well, I'm certainly bigger LOL! Baby Adelyn seems to be growing well, and all is good with dr appointments and such.</div><div><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384412398967644914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaOGwQzqeGj2bv9HYKh8lvvpsswa3dLVLV-aYKLqB7_ZwoVynioWi9kTxQ2ZPq1hkntcVMrFPsvyq8P1JIN0aZlYlOyWxK_Mfi6NRRj3A3iaYS4Z7vb7ZVJI44cY57vcsY3WTmpJCafR-W/s320/DSC_0008.JPG" border="0" /><br /></div><div>And these things... the washing, losing parts...

Except that whole sorting out my sewing room bit... eventually (and I mean like next summer) we'll want to move the baby into that bedroom, so things will have to be sorted, and probably some gotten rid of so that all the sewing things can be consolidated into our bedroom... what a hassle that's going to be!</p><p>On the sewing front, I'm seriously lacking! We've been super busy with Cub Scouts lately, and the volunteer positions I've taken on with that, that I haven't had the time or energy to do much creatively once the house gets cleaned and the family gets fed. I'm really hoping that I can just sit tomorrow in my sewing room... I don't know how much, if anything, will really be accomplished, but I feel the need to just be in there either way!</p>TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294074024002329650.post-62907903656019912912009-09-16T14:21:00.000-07:002009-09-16T14:24:47.622-07:00Shameless Fundraiser LinkHey, I'm a mom- I'm allowed!!! And this sure as heck beats walking my pregnant @$$ around door to door in the heat!<br /><br /><br />-commence with shamelessness-<br /><br /><br />Anyway, as I've mentioned, Matt is a Cub Scout. And every fall, Cub Scouts do their big fundraiser for the year, which is Popcorn! (Sorry, no cookies- hit me up in 6 years or so!) No pressure, but if anyone wants some yummy, fattening, and of course overpriced popcorn (it IS a fundraiser after all!), you can use the link <a href="http://www.trails-end.com/estore/home_alt.jsp?_requestid=8590">HERE</a> to order year round. Using this link will ensure that fundraising monies come back to Ft Rucker's Pack 50 and the local council.<br /><br />Thanks! <br /><br />-end shameless fundraising-TaraJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030198110395363095noreply@blogger.com0
