Comments (17)

Wow the weekend was fun..there were ponys around. Don’t ask.



Nat and I went to my sister’s house. Wendy is the silent science geek member of our sewing team
Sunday Sept 2 2007 Nat & Jen



I just remembered i started photography back in 1986 in high school. My high school had a nice darkroom and had photo I-IV. My 35mm always had an extra frame so i always shot my feet, and whoever else was int he frame at the time. I still do this without thinking to this day.
I got to spend some time with my two favorite boys.
Nat & Zander





There was some grilling, water balloons, the water slide (thankfully we were inside) and by the way a whole bunch of 5-8 yr olds thought it was great to douse my sister witht he water ballons. That should teach her to give them a box full of water balloons from now on. When i came out from the house i found Zander had drug someone into the bounce house


Nat has some short stumpy little legs, but in this house he can stand up and feel tall! (and frown at me)


Later we hooked up the wii and had some wii fun. I remain the undefeated boxing champion. Altho someone’s 3 yr old almost kicked my ass.


Even nat’s trying really hard, but zander beat him each time


So Monday i just did some more sewing. I failed to mention in that last production post that was a pile of 30 (!) travel cases. 30 in one week. oh yes. Anyways i’ve shown you the hounds many times..how about the other fuzzy creature who likes to sleep enar the sewing machine?


I try to sew and i see this peering at me




And nat and i got the bright idea monday to turn some of his drawings


into plush animals meet my unamed stuffies (as i like to call them)



I think his name is Armando!
He also makes for a nice alligator gun



we also made a kitty



Don’t be suprised if you see these guys in later incarnations turn up in the etsy shop...i’m going to teach nat how to sew them up.
And for those of you who didn’t know we make pouches based on nat’s drawings and paintings..bet you didn’t know we have Mr Horse, sheep and SAD whales (if you click the link you will see the original Mr. Horse painting by nathaniel)



we’ve also got happy whales and kitties



and don’t forget Mr. Piggy (it’s his year you know!) and another sheep

i’ve got to tag and label all our stuff and pack it up. We leave for Vegas (hi grandma) this sunday and return a week later only to sell crafts the very next day.



So now what podcasts should i download for the plane ride to vegas on sunday?

What a fun weekend!  I’m glad I got you to update your blog.  Have an amazing trip to Vegas.  So jealous—I don’t even get to sleep in the same room with my husband while the puppies are in seaons. :(

I’m also loving the happy whale bags...but I’ve been put on an etsy diet by the husband. LOL

Love the shot of Zander on the pony!!!!!

Ugh - the Mr horse pouch is just too cute....I love the knitpicks podcast and “Cast On” - they are both pretty good listens.

What a great bunch of pictures!
Love the wii boxing! Love the kitty!  And Armando is totally cute.  Oh, and I am coveting that little pink and brown pouch with the sheep on it!  (How have I not seen the sheep pouches??)

Can you email me your address?  You seriously deserve an honorable mention prize for coming up with all those Cubs info in your comment!
(and really, how could I not know who was commenting when you mentioned Nat!?  : ) I knew!  Tell him sorry about the traffic, we did our part to add to it!  What a zoo it was after that game!)

ps.
I’ve found a podcast lately that I really like - It’s called “Watching the Directors.” Check it out, if you are into movies.

And have a great trip, by the way!!!

Awwww...cute sweet kitty keeping you company.  I’m such a sucker for cute kitties, especially when they follow you around and keep you company.

The stuffed kitty is very cute! I like to bowl on the Wii. One time I smacked Napoleon in the face with the controller cause he got in my way when I swung my arm. I felt so bad!
