Barefeet in High Heels

...if I laughed as I watched this?

Mother of the little girl...

"Oh, isn't that sweet?  He's patting her back..."

"Oh, wait...He's stealing her juice..."

Me..."At least he gave it back..."

Paraphrased from last Thursday's Grey's Anatomy...

"You think true love is the only thing that will destroy you if it's lost...rip your heart out...and make you feel loss..."

"...and then you become a mother..."

I love girly stuff...

I mean...really, REALLY girly stuff. But, from what you've read in my Thursday Things, I have boys.

The ultimate rough, tumble, destroy stuff, (or themselves) boys.

So, since I can't make stuff for my kids...I've decided to make it for other people's.  

And make a little money in the process!  :)

...and a brick in a truck...

Sunday, Pastor was talking about God's grace given to us through creation. We opened our Bibles to the beginning and Mini #1 asked me to read.

Me..."In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth..."

Mini #1 then piped up..."Genesis 1, 1."

... :) ....

Walking into a furniture store in Dallas the following notice was posted:

"Unaccompanied minors must be accompanied by an adult"

Seriously??

Back story...

We all know how much I love Pinterest.

Oh, we don't?  Well..I was late to the bandwagon, but I'm thoroughly in on the party now...

Random side story...

On Sunday I was talking to my friend's mom (the friend in this post...wow, need to work on a name for you too, don't I??).

Anyway, we were actually discussing our fun Pinterest Thursday.  Random fellow church member, that we don't know, walks by and hears us talking about Pinterest...she says, "That site is SO addictive!!"

...and scene...wow, sorry that was lame...

Anyway, my unnamed friend...ugh...and I decided that since we've pinned so many awesome things on Pinterest, and have yet to complete any of them, we should make our Thursday get togethers "Pinterest Thursdays."

We choose a project we both want to do, buy the materials, and finally finish a Pinterest pin.  :)

This past Thursday, hence the..."Pinterest Thursdays...on Tuesday" title (may just make it a running theme)...

...we made Halloween wreaths!

Tule, ribbon, and an embroidery hoop...

...tie the tule and ribbon on to the embroidery hoop using the loop method...

...add a ribbon and bow and voila!; Halloween wreath!...

So, your turn...what have you made based on a Pinterest pin?  If you want to add a picture...post it to the Barefeet in High Heels photo gallery!  I'd love to see it!

Oh Monday...where did you come from??

This was Engineering Man's "easy" week...he had Friday off...so we had LOTS of fun at the house.  And...well, I had a TON of fun doing crafty stuff.  Tutorial tomorrow, and a question today!

So...the week included discovering that I have a third engineer in the family...yes, that's right...Mini #2 did this...

...a trip to a *free* indoor play area...

...Pinterest Thursday's!...

...ice cream...

...Bocce ball with...

...Engineering friend and Engineering friend's engineer wife...(come on guys...we need a name for her!)...

...play time with the shutter speed...

...sidenote...I need a tripod...

...happy you made the blog now?...

...crabby mornings...

...and playing with daddy...

...while mommy made a haul at garage sales...

...rearranging the silverware drawer...

...and *trying* to fix a light...

...a possible money making venture...

...mmmm...sexy...

...soccer!...

...I love my camera...

...check out this kick!...

...well...hello Little Miss Thing...

...action!...

...checking out some landscape possibilities...

...taking off the training wheels...

...and riding all by himself!...

...this cutie just did the balance beam...

...and this cutie...

...well, I think I just found a new model...

...then it was Mini #2's turn on the bike!...

...not quite child...let's just slow down that whole growing up thing...k?

Alright...now the question for all you moms of daughters; and women who just like fun stuff...  

The crocheted head band...

...would you buy it?  It's a two or three strand "goddess" headband that ties in the back...I'm thinking of making more with crocheted flowers...similar to the flower on this hat...  Different colors?  Would you rather have a hat?  Or just the headband by itself that you could buy "flowers" to clip to? Thoughts??
