I did take Friday off work and started a very beautiful quilt. It's a long term sort thing - it's nice to have projects like that that. Saturday we laid low, and that evening was my church's service auction. I auctioned off a handmade baby sweater - and was happy that it sold for $50. I, in turn, bought the kid's birthday party! The Religous Education team offered up their services to host a party for up to 20 kids, including activites and a cake! Plus - you can have it in the Fellowship Hall (not have the party in the house is KEY). I got all this for $100. I'll have to sell it to my friends and play down the whole 'it's at the church' part - because one of my girlfriends asked if one of the activities would be 'Pin the Thorn Crown on Jesus' (which just had me laughing out loud - it's a UU church - so nothing of the sort!).
Sunday I finally got around to trying out some freezer paper stencils on the cheap tee shirts I bought. What a success! I copied some fun designs off the internet (not taking credit for the cool images).
I have one more Robot shirt that isn't done yet - we were using fabric paint that a friend gave us, so ran out of colors.
I only made these for Cam. Maggie will have no clothing shortages this summer! But she may need a monster shirt of her own.

The only way I can sleep when hubby is snoring is if I fall asleep and stay asleep before he dozes off. HAHA!
I love those shirts!
Sorry about the bad mood and hope it lifts soon.
You must share the process for those t-shirts. Brilliant and way cool
Those shirts are adorable.
When Matt or I is sick, one of us (usually me) sleeps in the guest room. Totally worth it.
I would totally pay $100 for that party, totally worth it.
Sometimes once you get in that funk it's really hard to shake yourself out of it. I totally can relate. That's great that you took a day off work to do something creative and enjoyable. What a great way to try to combat the grouchies.
