Gruel has been tasted!

I went swimming with Raven late last night because Hubby was doing snow removal due to the late in the season snow storm! Still I was able to go and thoroughly enjoyed myself. When I got home there was a very hungry though sleeping baby. Who I then promptly woke up and fed! Then I decided to break out the gruel (aka rice cereal) to see if she would like some. Eyes had half of the small bowl that I had made up and I think it helped her sleep better. You see she has been incredibly fussy every night for the past week and moving all over her crib meaning I get little sleep. Also I have been noticing that she watches everyone very intently when they are eating. So I experimented and voila success. All the Experts say to wait until the baby is six months old but meh! Both of my other children started solids before they were six months and you know what they are not very picky eaters. Oh I should clarify that MOST days they are not picky eaters! Of course I am a cruel mom who insists that if they want dessert they have to clear their plate.

On the sewing front I have been expecting to be able to go over to Raven this Thursday and sew up the things that I need left to do. Last night she informed me that she has a date that night! A Date! A Date!!! How dare she have a date! Doesn't she know that I need to finish those trims or I won't get my ten cloak items done! Wait a minute I know what's going on... Sneaky conniving Raven! You planned for this friend to come into town and set up the date with him on the one night I can come over and sew on purpose! Just so you can get ahead of me!!! Sneaky Sneaky Wench!

Okay maybe that's going overboard but I am glad that Raven puts her friends first. After all we did reschedule for Friday night despite the gamers that will be in her house that night! Oh so yeah Raven I can make Friday night Hubby does not have anything happening that night like I thought he did. Heehee. Also today was a product fabric hunt. I got not just one trim but two trims that are beautiful and may work on my green wool with plum lining. I found a twill which may or may not work with some of my materials and I also called the salesman at the wholesale fabric place that we want to buy a bolt from. He wasn't there but I left a message!!

Anyways I still need to do positive reinforcements and some bad poetry. I think I'll do the good before the bad...

1. I had a good long nap this morning!
2. I got trim for my wool cloak.
3. I picked up twill for another lined cloak.
4. I taped up the parcel to be sent to Rat (who's baby will be born next week - C-section planned) but haven't sent it yet due to confusion over address.
5. I have blogged.

Okay here's the bad...

Eyes hurt from the glare of the snow.
I glance behind me only to be blinded
by the sun glinting off the slush.
My tulips have died!
