The Laundry Room is finished (for now 😉) and I am now in the process of planning and designing my next project! This one took me a little longer than I expected because I had to paint the curtain rod by hand, since I ran out of metallic silver spray paint (which would have sped up the process). The curtains are made from a handkerchief and the towels are cut up from old wash cloths that I was going to throw out. The washer and dryer are from @ogdolls and were purchased @target The small accessories are from OG and MLA sets. They are the OG Car Wash set, the OG Laundry Day set, and the MLA Cleaning Caddy set from @walmart I made the dryer sheet box, and dryer sheets, from an actual dryer sheet box. The lamp is a flow-in-the-dark lamp from @dollartree Marble paper is Recollections Scrapbook Paper is from @michaelsstores and the wood plank and brick paper is @americancrafts scrapbook paper from @joann_stores The blue paper and white floral paper is from @hobbylobby from over 10 years ago. Hope you all enjoyed this room! I'll be sharing more pics a little later. 😙 #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls #mladolls
The contracting crew came back today to install our new vanity. Everything was going well, the guys were ready to install the faucet and...it didn't fit. I bought the wrong size faucet because, y'know, vanity sink needs vanity faucet. Nope. I now have to go back to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a new 8" long, 3 hole configuation faucet for a vanity sink. 😐 The good news is that there's other stuff they're working on, so the day isn't a total bust! #homedepot #lowes #homerenovationissues
Leocadia is sick to her stomach. And I always feel bad when she's sick, so after cleaning up vomit, doing a load of laundry and a shower, I let her have the MLA Aquarium Set we found at Wal-mart this evening while we were *supposed* to be buying milk and veggies. #PopsiclesandPedialyte #mladolls #sickday #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #blessherheart
I found this "ugly sweater" at Wal-mart on my last excursion to town. Of course I bought it, 'cause foxes, duh! I'm thinking immediately after Thanksgiving is the appropriate time to start wearing it, although I'm appropriate all year 'round... *ahem* Anywho, let's roll the hashtags! #uglysweater #itstooearlyforxmas #merryfoxmas #whyyesidolovefoxes #craftymama #shutupimhavingfun
Leocadia arrived home with a basket of goodies from her daycare's Easter party! Mommy is going to have to hide the candy before she eats it all...
Easter was nice this year. Leocadia's aunt cooked Easter dinner. I got to see my nephews and Leocadia had a blast. But something has been bugging me about my interactions with people Sunday. I always feel obligated to blend in, to be pleasant. For me, that can be a lot of work and is physically and emotionally draining. A family member, at one point, was having difficulty get up from a sitting position on the floor and I suggested trying yoga. She laughed and asked if I had done it. I said yes, I did it for years, and my last class was at xmas. I've done yoga for years and I'm still limber enough to do some difficult poses well, despite the fact that I'm not skinny. Thet challenged me they told me to prove it. They didn't believe me. And I was expected to immediately start doing yoga poses for these people without centering myself.😑 Now, this should have raised red flags and questions then, but being me, I wasn't thinking about that, just trying to fit in. I realized they were laughing at me. They were belittling me. Why? I've noticed that this has become a trend with them. They constantly question my statements and do not ever believe a word I say. And more often than not, they laugh at what I say. I can't say they hurt my feelings, because they didn't. I can say I am embarrassed that I allowed these people to laugh at me. I have nothing to prove to them, or anybody really, and I need to remind my self of that. So, to my doubters and naysayers- Here's a challenge for you: go to a yoga class with me. And then come to my farm and do all the work I do. Carry 50 pound sacks of feed, bales of hay, chase down cattle and sheep, wade through muck and mire to shoot snakes, chop down diseased trees, feed babies and care for the sick. And do everything else I do while I also raise a child by myself. And then create the things I do on a daily basis. I have nothing to prove to you. I'm a badass. I prove that to myself every day.
