Getting Crafty...

I've been cleaning up around the house, or at least trying to do a little each day, and I've found that I have lots of fabric that I can use for different crafts. Most of it is kinda girlie, but some of it is more boyish. I keep thinking of starting up an Etsy Store to sell burp cloths, diaper bags and changing sets. I've made these things before and they turned out well, but I still feel a little aprehensive about starting something like this. It isn't the time it will take, I worry that people won't be interested and I'll be stuck with 2o something diaperbags, etc. that nobody wants. Perhaps it's just that I need to just take the leap and make 3 or 4 and see how they do online. I could start up a blog for my stuff and post it around on the different craft sites I am part of. I guess I need to just give it a try. If it works great and if not then it must not be what God has planned for me to do.

As far as our little man goes, everything seems to be right on track. He seems to be so active in there some days. I feel like he's running laps or dancing in there. We've decided on Nursery Decor for him. We'll be doing the nursery in Tan, Chocolate Brown, and a Light and Dark Blue. One of the walls will be done in an argyle pattern, the rest will be light blue with tan chair railing and a dark brown bottom wall. The bedding is going to be in the same colors but in a striped pattern fabric that I found at JoAnn's. I need to get my pattern out now and figure out exactly how much fabric I need so that I can get started putting everything together.

The fun thing this week apparently is that we have a mouse. Sasha, our dog, was behaving really oddly and I couldn't figure out what was up with her. Suddenly I saw it out of the corner of my eye, a little brown field mouse. Ugh! We had trouble with mice over the summer and we thought we'd patched up all the holes and ways for them to get in the house, so I'm not sure how they're doing it, but they are. So now it's off the the garage to get the traps to try and catch the mouse. After that rooms will be re-vaccuumed, carpets re-washed, laundry re-cleaned, just in case the mousie did his business anywhere so that we're clean. The baby stuff makes me the most upset. My friend had sent me 2 boxes full of baby clothes that she had washed before she sent it, and I was so excited, but I left it in the boxes on the living room floor because we're still cleaning out the nursery room, and so because it was in the living room it will all need to be washed again. I really don't like mice. I know they serve their purpose, I know Mickey is a cute guy, but really all they do is get in my house and make trouble.

Here's hoping it's only 1 mouse and not more than that. 1 I can handle, more than that and I get creeped out!
