lots of cute stuff!

Well so far this weekend I havent done a bit of work... and its almost 8:oo sunday night! I am going to post this very quickly.. then I have to do something constructive around here!

see my little baby pies! They are both wearing hats that my sweet friend Cheryl from artsy fartsy sent them. Torry didnt mind wearing his, but marlaina was ticked! though you cant tell in this pic. i think she had finally given up the fight! thank you cheryl!

It was a busy day yesterday. I met Natalea (kandeland) and our friend Jenny (becheery from flickr) for breakfast at the cracker barrel.. (omg.. you should see the freaken cute baby clothes they have for easter at the cracker barrel! ) Anyways.. breakfast lasted for about 2 and a half hours! then I did some quick craft supply shopping and picked up Torry pie on the way home. I had him from about 2:00 til 9:30 last night. we had a good time. He is such a riot!

Today, I've done nothing but hang around, craft a little and cook a ham and cabbage dinner. I didnt really even get dressed today! I did put clean jammie pants on and my most comfy cozy falling apart sweater. However, I havent done the dishes, or cleaned the bird cage or put the tons of laundry away.. or vacuumed... or cleaned the litter box! so now at 8:05 pm.. I'm about to get those things done! I might not vacuum tonight though. but I do have to do the other things!

I burned my finger today and have had it on ice all day. I'm a little nervous that sticking it in hot water to do the dishes is going to hurt. but the dishes have to be done.. adn theres no one else here thats going to do them!

so off I go girlies! I'll hurry and then maybe I'll have a little time left to blog hop a bit! if not.. I'll see yas tomorrow!
toodles!

♥today is a good heart filled day!

Today is a good day for a couple reasons.. the first reason...

Tony( jr) and Vanessa went to a pediatric ♥ heart♥ specialist... and they were told that the babys heart is not defective. ... it looks like one side is a little enlarged. but that could be because the stomach is pushing on it, (remember the herniated diaphram allows organs to get into the chest cavity...) anyways.. it was very good news! The dr said he sees this stuff everyday and that he believes that little Jacob Vincents heart is good!!!!!♥♥♥

The baby still has the herniated diaphram and it can be very serious and even fatal. but we are praying for a miracle that what ever we end up with in the next 4 months that it can be repaired and that Jacob will not have any resulting handicaps.

I just feel so hopeful now. my heart ♥ is happy!! I know his parents are definitely feeling better right now.

The 2nd reason: I came home from work and found this wonderful HEART filled box on my front porch from the amazing REnee at my vintage mending! do you see all the goodies? I love it all. the hand cookie cutter with the little heart in the center, the vintage hankie cone!! (so excited about this!) the awesome heart box with the felt rosettes all over it! and the red checked heart pinkeep!

Not to mention, the box of candy and the heart is full of candy too! And... .if all that were'nt enough... all the little vintage valentines!

And this awesome valentine that renee made as well!
thank you so much Renee. youve made my day!
Renee was my partner in my heart swap. I was so glad that we ended up partners.
I actually have two partners because I kept Stephanie from Germany for my partner too! LUcky me!
yes.. today is a good day!

marlaina princess pie

good morning everyone! Marlaina came down stairs all ready for church this morning. Isnt she beautiful?
I've been up since before 5:00.. woke up with another stuffy nose and couldnt breath, so I got up. which was good. I finished the penquin cake topper.. I hope they like it.. I think its cute, but pretty silly looking.

we have a birthday party today for my son Tonys girlfriend Vanessa. They are the ones who are pregnant that I've asked you to pray for. I'm afraid it might be hard today as we havent all been together with them since they got the first news 4 weeks ago. It might be awkward for everyone as princess marlaina and Torry pie will be here. so i'm praying for peaceful, loving, sweet and kind hearted spirits with in everyone today. I cant take the stress other wise!
so Ive got to make a cake, a huge pan of lasagna and a couple loaves of garlic bread. Its going to be hard not to eat too much of all that! There will be salad too..... I will try to eat mostly salad.....
(yeah right! lol!)


so.. I suppose I should go make my bed now that hubby is up and get myself ready for the day!
Happy Sunday Everyone!!
