Summer Dreams Part 3 (Nostalgia.)

... and so our little Summer escapades continue.. "Ma, are you still alive? You have to sleep Ma when the Logan finally falls asleep!.. I am not 17 anymore.. You don't have to wait up.."





So after our little evening rendezvous for my Birthday, we decided that we wanted to make another escape somewhere nearer as my mom got me so nervous after we returned.. You see, we could only leave the house after all three boys have fallen asleep.. There is no way my poor mother could handle them on her own, but apparently Mr. Brandon decided to wake up in the middle of his sleep to search for us. While my mom decided to have her momentary shut eye, he bursts into her room, all the lights blazing throughout the house, pulling her from her bed to come upstairs with him.. Logan is at this point latched onto her like a koala bear... Poor lady is in a panic because she has no idea what Brandon wanted.. This is just after our attempt to go the movies a couple of weeks earlier.. Our first movie getaway together in yearsssss!!!!!.... Here is what happened..

Pardon My Bad Manners..

...What day is it? Gees!!!... I haven't created a post in a while.....
Donald Trump was crushed at the Correspondent's Dinner,
Royal Wedding,
Mariah's babies are finally here,
Bin Laden was found and killed....

                                               SCREEECCCCCCHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
What in the name of all that is good is this?
I don't like making fun of people but my eyes couldn't blink because I was in shock.. Serena... honey... ok...  So um.. I don't really think that your invitation for the Royal Wedding was lost in the mail sweetheart.. 
Here is my take:

 "Ode to Black Swan who fell in bleach/ Royal Wedding  I am the Bride and a Guest all in one...








Good grief... I could have been creating 2 posts a day with all the stuff that has been going on.... Something is definitely going on with me but for once it's good stress. Ever since I started this year with my thoughts directed in a positive direction, I have felt very anxious.. My brain is working overtime.. My possibilities are endless.. I can't sleep, (can still eat). To top it off, Summer vacation is right around the corner... Heart palpitations are an understatement.. Camp or no camp? ... Finding help is difficult in our situation.. but I kinda have a feeling it will be o.k. because I am going to take some time off to clear my head, focus, medidate and quiet my surroundings for a while, so that break will include blogging.. (sniff sniff) I need to tie up some loose ends here for a bit and then I will be back fresh faced and bushy tailed... Ok my darlings?... So see you all soon... please be safe... Too-da-loo!!

How IKAT material is made..

Earlier today I created a post about a pillow I discovered with an interesting print. I wanted to know a little bit more about how it was made hence posting this video. However, I don't know whether my hormones are playing games with me again but my interest in how the fabric was made immediately diverted to wondering how many callouses are on those skilled women's fingers, how long do they work everyday, how much material is produced by doing this by hand but more importantnly how much do they get paid and how much profit is made. You know we purchase items and don't really think of how much goes into creating it. We think when we spend a lot on our purchase it's because much time and energy was put into creating it other than it being great quality but here is the debate. Do we spend a lot so that those women get paid more? hmmmm.

What...Was/Is...That?

                                            RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

 Am I in the bloody twighlight zone? 12:01 am and this is the first time I have been able to get a soon to be 18 month old off my chest for the night (Don't even start), and a husband.... (ok I won't go there).  If this past weekend is an indication of what the week will be like, well here is what I want on my tombstone "Shhhhh.. Do not disturb"...

                                              
                                           Old Hickory Tannery Cane Balloon Chair

Since everything can be custom fit, made or redesigned nowadays,  I want two of these chairs fused together by hinges, face to face so I could get in and sit "criss cross apple sauce" with my computer and coffee. A little Hannibal Lecteresque Chic don't you think?
