Early morning.

Well, it's 5:35am. I'm usually not up this early unless I have to work. If I'm working, I'm up around 4:30 and at work by 5. But lastnight I had the worst headache I've probably ever had. I couldn't even get out of my bed! And on top of that, I felt even worse because I missed my son carving his pumpkin. He ended up doing it with his auntie (not a problem), but all I could do was lay in bed and cry. I was so far beyond miserable.
But I think Andrew still has his pumpkin to carve. And we have mine. So maybe we'll do those today. I am feeling better. I slept probably from 8pm lastnight until 4:30 this morning. I called into work (shame on me). But I think I just need a day to rest and catch up. And there were going to be 3 of us at work. Thursdays are a good day for 2 people.
OHH! We have our car back. Finally. We went and picked it up last friday. We honestly got to the place like 5 minutes before they closed. I have to pay the loan back, but since it was a state assisted loan, there's no interest! It'll take me about 18 months to pay it off. I'm just so happy to finally have my car back. But now we're having problems with our health insurance. Ugh! I swear it's one thing after another. If I can't get this figured out and taken care of, our insurance is ending on Nov 1st.

Well, I think that's about it for now. My good stuff and bad stuff in life right now. I was just bored, and can never seem to think of anything to search for on the internet so early. Lol.

My first diaper cover!

I made my first diaper cover! I'm pretty proud of it too. Other than the fact that it is too big for either of my boys. Haha. Its an ok size for Nathan, but still a little big. I posted an In Search Of on a message board and a very kind lady sent me some fold over elastic and a pattern. She helped me out so much. She sent me 8 different colors/prints of foe! So I did a little practice sewing with some of the foe. It went pretty good. Then I thought I'd try making a cover. I didn't want to dive in and use my PUL yet. So I decided I'd make a fleece cover. I made a double layer fleece cover. The wonderful lady also sent me some touch tape so I could add closures to the diaper. She's great.

So here are the pics:

And finally, the tag that I got when I ordered tags for
my grandma. This was an extra : )


I'm really happy with how it turned out. I can't wait to use it. But who knows when that will be. I think it will work really good for a night time cover. I'm looking forward to buying more tags and making my own covers.

No Sew

I haven't been able to sew at all lately since my car is in the shop and I can't afford to fix it : (
Sad I know. And since my sewing stuff is not at my house, I can't do anything. It's so depressing. And even more upsetting, I got some aplix in the mail that I've been waiting for so I can finish making a fleece cover and now I can't even do that. Ugh.

But on a happier note, I think Etsy may be my new friend. Lol. I was just browsing the other day and Wow! I didn't realize all the things thats on there. I was looking through the home stuff and saw a bunch of people that sell wall decals. I love them! I'm for sure planning on getting some whenever we have our own house. Then my boy's can have super cute rooms. Lol.

I've also been thinking about housing options for us lately. I want a house so my boys have a place to grow up and call their's. I desprately want it. My grandma works for the state and told my mom about a couple different programs. None had to do with houses the the overall group/program had a part where they help poorer families buy a house. I was talking to her (my grandma) about it today and she also suggested habitat for humanity. I had never even thought about that. But the more I do think about it, the more it sounds like it would be a good option for us. I still have alot of thinking to do. And before we could even think about applying, Elliot would have to have a job. I have alot of past debt that I need to straighten out also. But it never hurts to consider all the options.

I started writing this entry and then saved it as a draft. As of now, I have qualified for a state assisted loan to fix my car. Yay!! I should have my car back hopefully by the end of the week.

I think that's about it for an update. I'd like to look at making an etsy soon. But it will still probably be a bit. But I might go through my pictures and get together a bunch of the diapers I've sewn. Just to share with everyone.
