uh oh, she's trapped

paytie locked herself in the bathroom....she went in and closed the door and then opened a lower drawer which made us not be able to get in. at first i giggled and then i called for jordans help. we both tried our fingers and that didn't work.


then he used a screw driver to shut the drawer and look who opened the door on the other side! i know, i know i need to get child locks on my drawers :)

let the sewing begin

while we were in california jordan's parents came down from okc and took care of paytie. they also completed my wonderful sewing/laundry room. my FIL, roger (aka bob vila) switched around our water line and more to make space in our laundry room for my new sewing desk! i am so thankful for the both of them. they bless us in so many ways. :)



this is where all the creating will begin during the days from 9-10am and 12-2(nap time for miss thang)

i also thought i would share one of my funny "hippie" facts about me...

i make my own laundy detergent! yes, it does actually work! i love it and i looooove the price tag. all of the above ingredients are around $6 and they will last me around 2 years!!!!! i started in september 2008 and i just made my 4th batch of it last week. i have had a great experience with it. if you are interested i got the recipe off of youtube.
