I may have a touch of Spring fever. I am having a difficult time concentrating. I have resorted to making lists on sticky notes because I can seem to complete a task before my mind has moved on. I am taking vacation when the kids are off for Spring Break in a couple of weeks. We are planning a local vacation to San Diego.
I just picked up an interesting book on how blogs are changing the ways a company communicates with its customers. I do sense that this medium will soon require filters and the ability to screen or invite readers to protect the owner.
I have been sewing "bitty booties"--free pattern link attached. http://www.heatherbaileydesign.com/Booties.html
At first, I wanted to make one pair as a gift for a new mom in the ward. Three pair later Doug mentions to me that if I were to sell them for $6. a pair at a Craft Boutique, I could make nearly 50 cents an hour.
Still they are "bitty" and beautiful. I cannot give the last two pairs away until my camera battery arrives and I can take pictures of these little beauties.
Enough for now...love to all.

I'll be back...



Today, I finally gave up and ordered a new camera battery charger online ($43 bucks, ouch!). It seems without the photos to go with the blog, I don't blog. But soon I will be snapping my pics and posting with panache.



We saw a great movie this weekend with the kids called "The Last Mimsy." Great family movie.



Doug and I have been asked to provide the entertainment for an Older Singles Family Home Evening. I told the kids I wanted them to join us. Each would do a solo and we would do a couple of songs together. Who knows why but it totally stressed Spencer out. Apparently he has to write, memorize and deliver a speech in two weeks and having to perform for the elderly put him over the edge. What kind of mother would do this to her children.
Tomorrow, I teach Spencer's class about Maurits Escher. He is an artist famous for utilizing tessellations (I didn't know what they were either before today). Tessellations are arrangements of closed shapes that completely cover the plane without overlapping or leaving gaps. This kids should love it. So enjoy the art.
Enough for now...love to all.
