One whole long, crazy week.

-
No pics...just words.

Monday started CRAZY....and continued.
In my words of the week.
Mon:
Kendall, really do you have to put your finger that far up your nose?

Tues:
Please everyone leave me alone while I place this shirt order.  
Wed:
Yes, JWS, I know the shirt order is all wrong, refer to yesterday's comment.
Please leave me alone while I place the revised shirt order.
Yes, boys you can come to Grandma's after work and make cookies.
Boys, those big black ants that Grandma's kitchen is infested with are not pets.  We kill them, not let them walk all over us and tickle us.
I know that your Mom tells you nothing is "killed" or "dead" but I do not think that applies to big, black ants in Grandma's kitchen.
Boys, that is grandma's charcoal and yes you can draw with it a little bit.
Boys, I am going next door to get your pajamas.  You can bathe here, Mommy does not need to see you that dirty from charcoal.
Thurs:
Tyler, did you get a pawprint today?  Ok then you can use the computer today....and thank goodness because you are going to be here at work all day.
TYLER!!!!  Turn off that game, that is not a nice game!!!
Tyler, get your finger out of your nose!
Why, of course Shelby, we can clean out the attic tonight, I would like a free Saturday also.  Never mind that I am fifty two and tired at the end of a work day.
Kendall, really do you have to put that finger that far up your nose? 
Gracelyn, these were your Mommy and Aunt Shelby's books when they were little.  Look your Mommy liked Belle also.
Girls, let's just go to the restaurant to eat.
Girls, here is the money, I am taking these two outside to run...pay when you are finished, bring me the leftovers and leave a tip.
Kendall, do not run into the street!
JWS, please don't talk to me, I am too tired to think.
Friday
Logan, if you jump in that mud puddle you are not going to the Bent and Dent with me! 
Who put the lime green gum on Grandma's floor mat?
Boys, you are not behaving well in this store and if you don't shape up, I am going to leave you here and take these little, quiet Amish boys home with me instead.

Cathy, I am LOL and thank you! I'm stealing 10 minutes to myself as the grandsons are downstairs with Papa, drilling holes in pieces of scrap wood! Favorite thing to to do. If you could see my house at the moment-on second thought it may look better than your frontroom you showed us the other day! LOL! and I've asked Alex (2 1/2) I don't know how many times since yesterday "really Alex? do you need help with that nose?! like a tissue?" and he responds "nope, Gwammy I got it!!!" I wouldn't trade these crazy days for anything!
Hang in there, tomorrow is a day of rest~

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
