What a week......

Oh my.  It's been a *insert appropriate expletive here* week here in my household!  The husband was away, everyone was sick (but Z), I now have TWO parties to throw within one week of each other.  BAH HUMBUG.  That will be my attitude.  Rhett must be sick, or something, still.  He's NUTS.  And therefore I'm almost impossible to coexist with.  In fact, as I write this, he's upstairs refusing (quite loudly) to take a nap.

So....Teagan's mermaid party is on for next Sunday.  To be honest, all the excitement and joy has been snuffed out for me.  I'm getting zero time to myself to even breathe.  Now I have to hustle to get Zoey's stuff done.  Needless to say, I'm gearing my expectations and plans for both parties WAY DOWN!  I hate that, but it's necessary.

I'm going to post today.  Even though I'm not in a joyous mood.  Or a witty and comical mood.  I'm in a boring, depressive, bah humbug mood.  But I'm making it a personal goal of mine to blog more often.  And include links and small directions to attain information for you on where I get some of my inspiration and how I managed to "pull it off".  Today I made 3 superhero masks for Zoey's party.  I have a silhouette cutting machine and used three of the mask shapes.  These are not for sale, but I will be handing them out as "thanks for coming" gifts to all the kids (plus capes, which I haven't even purchased fabric for yet....).  Here are the masks:

masks, which I cannot get my phone and flipping mac book air to share.....


Ok let's try some other pictures before I "give in" and go get Rhett.  Who is still crying.

The other mermaid tails aren't ready yet, but Teagan's outfit is.  So that counts for something.  Alright.  I'm at my wits end.  Best go get upset baby boy.  :-(
