I love being a mama and I love being an artist. Some days the former trumps the latter. Like today. My poor baby's congestion got the better of him and he refused to nap. Well, he cat-napped. But only as long as I was holding him.
Needless to say, I am lucky to have been able to do much of anything (I got in a cardio workout, made a quick trip to Kohl's, washed three loads of laundry, AND managed to make dinner!)
I call this "Mish Mash Pizza"...I really didn't have much of a dinner plan, but what I did have was a half-cup of pesto sauce, some pre-cooked chicken strips, a tomato from my MIL's garden, some bacon, and a tube of Pillsbury pizza crust. Ta da! Dinner is served. And my fridge is sorta tidied up, too! :)
I also managed to whip together a little project using this relic from the bowels of our closet. Ever since I had my baby, none of my clothes seem too appealing to me. About a week ago, I remembered seeing this book and, LUCKY ME, the library had it!
One episode of "The Office" later, and I had this new redesigned tee to wear.
It's cute...with little drawstring accents and everything.
I took some step-by-step pics of the process, but Lord help me, I'm tired after such a long day. I learned some things I'd love to share and I also came up with some tweaks I'd like to try.
I think I'll do this again sometime with a new shirt that doesn't make me look so boxy. In the meantime, this one will be perfect to wear while I make artistic messes! ;)
