We decided to make it extra challenging and make the necklace while watching three kids. One of them who is pushing out a molar as we speak. Don't worry, no one died and this was the end result.

Grandparents Necklace

This one is for my mom. I should take a shot of me wearing it but that would require taking off my pajamas to wear a nice shirt and I'm far too lazy for that.

Jes accompanied me to Bead Monkey this morning and ...ta-da! She picked out the beads, I did the work. I'm going to steal this necklace when she's sleeping.

Mommy Jewelry

Heather commissioned me to create an anklet for her and a bracelet for her sister-in-law. After seeing how cool they turned out, I want to make one for myself.

• Piper is getting her molars. She has one so far. Sounds easy when I write it in list format!! In reality, it's been hell. She has been running fevers (I know, I know, teething does not cause fevers... it could be a coincidence. Except it isn't.), waking up every 1-2 hours and refusing to let me put her down. My house is in shambles, there are no clean clothes, and I'm about ten seconds away from face punching the mailman. MOLARS CAN SUCK IT. I don't remember this with Finn.
• Erik made an appointment to get a vasectomy at the end of the month. Crazy!
• Finn's TRUCK! is Piper's KITTY! All day we read the KITTY! book. We pet the KITTY! We carry around the stuffed KITTY! Shall we read the KITTY! book again?
• I miss sleeping. I was getting more sleep when Finn was Piper's age.
• Finn is rubbing my back right now.
• I've lost 24.5 lbs. I am proud of myself and owe a big thanks to Jes and Erin and our weekly WW4BA meetings. 20 more lbs to my goal!
• It's my birthday next week. What do I really want? A good night's sleep. Thanks.
