Wednesday's Cop-Out

My project that I'm featuring is really simple because I've been so slammed with music stuff. Yesterday was the big field trip with the choir. I was gone ALL day and got home just in time to give lessons. I even had to give Hallie her lesson so I was at the piano from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. with a few breaks in between. It was exhausting. As a reward to myself I decided that I would allow myself to lay around all day today doing nothing but watching t.v. and eating. No dishes, no shower, no dusting, no vacuuming, no laundry, nothing! After "The Great Laying In" for the last 2 and a half hours I've decided that this isn't very prudent seeing as how I have 6 piano lessons this afternoon starting at 2:30. I'm sure they'd at least appreciate a shower. So I'm up and living my life again and I might as well do the dishes and vacuuming while I'm at it. But NO DUSTING or LAUNDRY!!! I have to draw the line somewhere.

Anyways, these shirts are for Grace. She is SOOOO picky when it comes to clothes. It has to be "fashion" and "super cute". This is quite a contradiction because she'll wear the same shirt for 5 days if I let her. But when she finds something that she thinks is cute, she sticks with it. She has a drawer full of adorable shirts that she won't wear for some reason or other. So I picked up these shirts for cheap but decided that she probably wouldn't wear them if they weren't embellished in some way. So I sewed a a little tube in the inside seam. Then I sewed right down the middle to create two channels and inserted the ribbons.

Voila! Bows! She loves shirts that tie up with ribbons on the bottom.

These are actually part of her Christmas gifts so don't ask her if she likes them when you see her. We won't know if they are a hit for another 23 days. The suspense will kill me.

So about yesterday. I am soooo glad I'm not in high school any more. I have that thought quite often but yesterday it was in full force all day.

Wow! High school kids.

I'm scared that Hallie will be one next year. I saw more piercings than I care to admit.

People will pierce anything! Now I must admit that I pierced a (GUY) friend's nipple when I was in high school.

That was just for fun. Well I don't know how fun it was for him, but I enjoyed smacking him in the chest when ever he passed me in the hall. But I think these kids do it because they think it looks good.

And the hair!!! Oh my gosh, the horror!!!

Like I said...I'm so glad I'm not in High School anymore.

'Nuff said about that.

I was so busy the last few days that when I went to check in on everyone's blogs last night it took me an hour and a half to get updated. Phew! Looks like everyone had great Thanksgivings.

It's time to start thinking about what games to play at Christmas and whose rules we'll allow...

I hope your day is great.
