It is amazing what a good night sleep can do for a mama’s attitude. I have been wanting to take this blog to a new level and make it more personal, after all I am more than happy moments with my family and fun crafts.

This week its been frustrations with my husband being gone, a really messy and unorganized house due to the fact that I had to do all the unpacking of all our boxes all by myself(did i put in enough alls), and the transitioning of my children into public school. The good has been: a closer relationship with my Heavenly Father and I’ve stopped being so independant and reached out to some neighbors and friends.
Now for some crafts.
I squeezed in a little time this past week. Well really I stole some but it was well worth it. I finally got to have a go at one of the projects swimming in my head.
These are those small 3×5 and 4×6 spiral notebooks. The cover is removable so if you fill the notebook you can just get another one to replace it for less than a dollar. I want to make a bigger version of these with nicer notebooks but these little guys were great for figuring out what pattern I wanted to use. I went through a few tutorial I googled but wasn’t happy with the results. I ended up combining a few and am now happy with them.
Thisbe belongs to a Keepers of the Home group (its pretty much a religious Girl Scouts) and the girls are going to learn how to sew them this week.
