\nGratuitous baby pic. You know you like it. If not, pretend. My baby is cuter than all other babies on the planet (except YOURS of course.)<\/p>\n

I finally got some fabric to start this quilt I have needed to make for over six months. I was going to make a traditional quilt, but I really can not sit at the sewing machine for very long. I got a hare brained idea to make a modern baby quilt, so started looking at pictures on Flickr and other places. I didn’t see a quilt exactly like this, but I saw a few in the spirit of this quilt. I just hope it turns out cute. What can go wrong when you have little orange pill boxes on pink like that? I love that fabric. Ignore the bright pink on the sides. I am using another quilt as a template\/design wall\/roll up thingee-ma-jig and it is bound in that bright pink. <\/p>\n

I just hope I am able to keep everything straight enough. It was easy to cut out the rectangles since I only had to measure width instead of length. I find I have a hard time sewing straight when I do things by row, though. I tend to prefer to do blocks of two then four then eight and so forth until I get a whole quilt. Less screw-uppy that way.<\/p>\n

Great. I just heard a turd. I guess you know what I’m going to go do now. Bah-hum bug.<\/p>\n

I think I have FINALLY cured Elsa’s never ending diaper rash. I slapped half a jar of Vaseline on her butt and stuck her in a disposable diaper last night. She’s looking much better today. If she’d just stop pooping she’d be fine. This child poops more than an elephant.<\/p>\n

Does an elephant poop a lot?<\/p>\n

Are we really talking about elephant poop?<\/p>\n

We need to talk about goat poop.<\/p>\n

Erik has been cast as a goat in his class puppet show and he is pissed. Beyond pissed. Sad, cranky, angry. Not happy. <\/p>\n

I think we’re going to eat some goat cheese this weekend. Maybe I will even try to figure out if there is a way to make ice cream out of goat’s milk. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? We have an ice cream maker. It sucks and I hate using it, but if it meant he wasn’t going to have a melt-down during his performance I’d drag it out and fill it up with goat’s milk.<\/p>\n

Oh dear.<\/p>\n

I think Elsa just figured out how to change the outgoing message on our answering machine. Even I haven’t been able to figure that out. Maybe I better go parent instead of telling you about goat ice cream and elephant poop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
