Update

I haven't been on lately.  Nope... not at all.  Life has taken over, and I've just gotten so busy I don't hardly visit blogs or write on my blog as often.

My sister's wedding is in less than 2 weeks.  I can hardly believe it.  My little sister... getting married... what on earth happened?  Needless to say, things have been busy.  I've been put in charge of the cake (and I need to try a different fondant recipe... one with glycerin, since the marshmallow fondant doesn't want to smooth onto cake very well... it gets all wrinkly near the base of the cake).  I also was put in charge of sewing my daughter's and my neice's dresses.  Thankfully, they are both basically done.  I just need to get the fabric for the sashes, sew those (which will be easy... just long straight stitches), put on the eye hooks, and the krynolin (which it may not need at all... these dresses poof out a lot without it).  I am greatful to be done the zippers.  That was difficult.  I've never done zippers before, so I think I did pretty good for my first time.  Didn't care for hand stitching the lining on it though.  Oh, and I changed the pattern a bit so the entire dress is lined instead of just the bodice.  Lots of hemming... not fun.

I've been working to try to declutter things in my house lately.  I want to empty it out a bit before I bring out the Christmas decor.  I also want to wait until the wedding is over.  Focus on that cake first.  And I want to work on the office.  It's not changed at all... and I want paint, a new door, no stipple... craziness.  Maybe next year.

Anyway, I think my son is crying for me again.  Sigh.  We need to break the 3am feeding habit.  He's not hungry, yet he has to cry until I 'feed' him.  He doesn't even hardly eat anything.  Tough love... that's what it is going to take, I'm sure.  And it will be tough.  He still sleeps in our room (since we don't have another bedroom in the house).

Anyway, happy November to all of you.  Does it feel like winter yet?  It just started snowing here!  :)  Maybe I should figure out some Christmas cookies!  :)

Only 36 days till Christmas!
