No Grey...

I was working out this morning and Te Vew came on.  I don't normally watch that show but it caught my attention.  They were saying that there may be a new way for guys to get out of having to pay child support.  If the guy tells the woman he doesn't want to father a child and she ends up pregnant, he has a reason not to pay (be responsible) for the child.  I watched with my jaw on the floor.  What got me was that not one said, then don't sleep with anyone that's not your spouse.  All that was said was just to make sure to use protection.  Protection isn't 100%!  That leaves this girl alone, I know I know...she shouldn't have been in a position to be sleeping with someone.  But we can't reproduce asexually!!  Just because I carry and birth a child doesn't mean that I'm the only one responsible for that child.  Ugh!!!  It just makes me sick!  They were saying that since the man has no say in if she keeps the child, it's not fair.  It shouldn't be a choice.  I'm stopping.

This is just a subject that gets to me.  It's black and white for me, I see no grey areas......

Sewing picture Updates



I made this dress for a friend of mine.  It took me a week to do it.  She likes it but needs a few adjustmetns.  She tried it on for me and the zipper broke.  I have enough fabric to make a matching outfit for her daughter. 




I made this diaper pouch and wipes cover for a friend who's having a baby.  She loved it.  They were pretty simple to make.  I used this tutorial for both of them.
I made this outfit for the same friend.  She's having a girl and I love giving gifts that'll fit in a year.  I made the skirt from this tutorial and the flower from this tutorial.  I love this dress and think Michelle looked super cute in it.  I had a hard time giving it away.  I'm going to make one for Michelle's first birthday!

My buddy.

Wow, it's seems like I have been so busy.  I haven't had a chance or desire to write on here.  Matthew's changed our computer situation and I'm using three different computers and it gets tiring to go back and forth.  My old computer I need because it's the only one that has the right connection for the printer and it has all of my accounting stuff on it and it sooooo slow I can't do anything on it without getting frustrated,  the laptop is what I use most of the time and Matthew doesn't want it too cluttered with all of my pictures and software, and then there's his computer, it's super fast and has all of my pictures and software on it, but I am not a fan of his mouse, it's a gaming mouse that is super sensitive and has a button that if you press it will make your page go back, I press it ALL the time and whenever I think about blogging at night, Matthew is on it.  Anyway, so I haven't felt like blogging.

On a different note, yesterday was Johnathan's 2nd birthday.  We had fun!  He is so darn cute right now.  He doesn't walk anywhere anymore, he hops, jumps, skips, and runs everywhere.  He has these brown eyes that are just adorable.  He's got a stubborn streak in him.  Getting him to apologize takes forever.  He'd rather sit in time out than say he was sorry.  He talks really well and surprises me by a lot of the things he says.  I'm so blessed to be his mommy.  He is all over the place and is all boy (except he likes to wear my red patent leather shoes).  He gets in trouble a lot but not because he's bad, it's because he is so busy and into stuff. I love my only boy!  When he was born God gave me the word valor (meaning: strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness: personal bravery....the latin form means: to be of worth; be strong)  I think it fits him perfectly.  The way he tackles his fears.  He'll keep facing his fear until whatever it is no longer scares him, for example, he was scared of my parents four wheelers.  If he saw them or heard them, he'd cry and hide and cling to me.  Eventually, he would sit on it but if it started up, he'd scream and get down and cling.  Then, one day my dad took him out and he would ride for a little bit and shake all over, but he kept at it and now, we can't get him off.  I am amazed at that in him.  I pray that he never loses that!  Love ya buddy!
