Apron

My apron came today from my latest apron swap. It is sooooo adorable. She made it from a tea cloth and used a doily to make the pocket. Her sewing is wonderful. I feel so happy when I wear it. I wore it tonight cooking dinner - in my dress and heels to boot : -)
p.s. notice J is in his highchair at the table now!!!!

Soccer Season Starts Again!

We have 2 official soccer players in our house now. L's practice was last night and tonight was S's practice. After reviewing the schedule, it looks like they will have 3 games that conflict with each other. Not too bad. It was a blast watching L play last night. It also helped to have another mom to chat with while at practice. Tonight the practice was held at our house. No one had volunteered to coach until the last minute and Daddy Piper jumped in and volunteered with another father to co-coach this season. It was great watching him with all the little ones tonight. S had a blast chasing the all around. He is going to be tons of fun to watch this season. He is Orange this time and L is Black&White. She came up with the name "Penguins" for her team and S is "Thunder". Things will be busy around here but busy is good - keeps my mind from thinking too much.

J's swing broke last Saturday some how. And I refuse to spend the money and buy another so it was baptism by fire getting him to sleep on his own this week. He has done so well!!!!!! Bath, lotion, jammies, nurse, swaddle and out he goes. Tonight during practice, I laid him down and came back 10 minutes to check on him and he was out like a light. I am amazed at what a good sleeper he is. I thought nursing babies were the worst sleepers but he is proving me wrong, thankfully!

I got my apron from my partner yesterday. I will get pics posted tomorrow. The apron was ADORABLE!!!! She is a wonderful seamstress and really made the most gorgeous apron. I have worn it twice already cooking dinner and then cooking breakfast today :-)

Now I am in another apron swap. This one is vintage swap. I ordered the cutest fabric and it should be here anyday. I can't wait to sew another apron. Sewing has become so fun for me - who knew!!

I have been depressed lately. I guess to the point that Daddy Piper was truly worried. He commented last night that I seem better and just how worried he was about me. I hate making him worry and adding something else for him to worry about. I am depressed but am working my way out of it. I just keep praying and focusing on the little things. I read somewhere that when this one woman was stressed/upset that she would just go do the dishes and work from there - busy hands and all that. It has helped me to just do one thing at a time and quit worrying about the big picture. Baby steps, baby steps, baby steps.

Cutest Apron

I am doing another apron swap. The host to this swap is Sassy Apron Swap. She is a wonderful hostess!! Right now she is giving away an apron from a sponsor to the swap. Here you can go see the website. It is by J.Carrell Originals and I am dying to get an apron from her. My hubby was just looking over my shoulder and actually approved a purchase of another apron - that is a miracle : -)

Go check out the aprons ASAP!!
