I'm doing the Hcg diet (track my progress here). As part of the diet, I can only eat certain veggies. I've been stumped as to what to do with the veggies that don't quite make up 3.5 oz. Tonight I decided to steam some leftover cauliflower and zucchini and give it to Marshy with his dinner. HE LOVED IT.
Seriously? The boy who only eats chicken nugget kids meals and PBJ sandwiches (with dinosaurs stamped in them) was actually eating VEGGIES?! WOO WOO! I'm so excited! I never thought the day would come that he would eat any veggies willingly, let alone something that wasn't corn or peas. I'm so happy :)

Dollhouse
Okay, so do you all remember the movie Babe? Yes, it's the one with the talking pig. It's really cute. Remember how Babe's owner makes dollhouses? You don't? Oh. well, I do.
I know it's a weird thing to remember, but I've kind of always wanted to make my own dollhouse. When I was little, and still played with Barbies, I figured out a way to make a paper house for the dolls. It wasn't spectacular, but it worked.
Well this is one dollhouse that I would LOVE to make....assumming I had that much cash just laying around waiting to be spent! I don't even have a little girl to play with it. I WOULD PLAY WITH IT! :) Seriousy. How fun would it be to make that beast of a dollhouse? SO COOL.
Alas, I can think of many more important things to spend $824 on.... like bills.... or saving up for a trip to Disneyland in three years.... or maybe even a piano that actually has all 88 keys! (That would just be awesome!) haha :)

Another January OPAM finish!
I feel like I have been on a roll this month! Woo Hoo! I have gotten so much done, it's so great! I just hope I can keep it up throughout the year. So this is "LOVE." I finally finished binding it tonight while I watched American Idol on my Tivo. :) I'm really excited to use this in my living room now. It certainly will brighten things up :)
A view of the back and the front. I love that the neon red thread looks like it's hot pink. :)Monday, January 18, 2010
Random Question
How old is old enough to go to Disneyland for the first time?
I was 8 my first time. My brother was 5. He loved the characters still. Me, not so much.
It's just, Marshy loves the Disney characters so much right now, but I think 3 is maybe a little too young? I just don't want us to wait until he doesn't want to meet Mickey and Goofy and Donald. you know?
Anyway, just wondering what ya'all think about it. It's really expensive, anyway. I priced it out and for the 3 of us staying in an economy class hotel, it was still $1000 not including food!

HOCKSTOCK!!!
Marshy has been playing hockstock (hopscotch) in our kitchen. Today he asked me to make him a hockstock so he could play in his room. This is what I came up with:
Yes, I know it's kinda girly, but that's all my stash has left at the moment.
Playing hockstock in the living room. Yes, please ignore the mess. I am in the middle of a big fat project, which of course took backseat to Marshy's request for a hockstock. haha
Jumping on the hockstock. He so doesn't follow the hopscotch rules, but he is only 3.

Unofficial OPAM Finishes
So, part of the rules for OPAM 2010 is that BOMs have to be completely finished: pieced, quilted bound, in order to count. However, this BOM has been one that I've been working on for a while, and I feel like it at least deserves some showing off. :) I love the little lamb holding the "4th" sign for July!
My second unofficial OPAM finish is Mike's denim rag quilt. Yes, I technically finished it in December, but it hasn't been washed until today, so technically it wasn't completely finished, right?
That's what I thought! It ragged up so nicely. I went up to the laundromat to wash it, and boy am I glad I didn't use my own machine! Cleaning out that washer was TOUGH! There were bits of denim and flannel all over the inside of the washer. It took probably 10 minutes to get all of it out. Anyway, so now that it's officially finished, it's an unofficial OPAM finish! :)
