Wooops.... More time than I thought went by...

So, once again, an obscene amount of time has passed since I last posted. So what's new with me? Wow... to begin with... I finally graduated from Nursing School, albeit by the skin of my teeth, and I passed my boards. I graduated and got licensed in  Sept of 2012. I got hired on to a nursing facility as an as-needed/on-call nurse. The hours are not that great, and greatly vary even week to week, but I do love my work. I starting going to On Hooks and Needles (a knitting/crocheting group) on Tuesday Nights for a while, and I was able to completely my "break the fast" from knitting project: a lovely scarf I have been enjoying the use of for some months now. I will post pics later. Been having some random adventures with my Best Friend as well, and was able to enjoy Swing Dancing far more regularly. I tried on and made it onto the All Girls Beginning Charleston Team, the Shoe Shiners,and we had a few performances in December LOL. Great times were had. I also got to start on my first set of hand knit socks... which unfortunately got pulled from the needles by a few of my darlings, and pulled apart that I now must restart them. In January, we started a new project: Hydroponics. which was upset by darling C, who thought more fertilizer would make the plants grow faster... Instead, it killed them.  I also had some fun making birthday cakes for O and RA. Again, pics will come later. And I've restarted the hydroponics. So yea, I've been keeping busy. I hope to post pics in the next few weeks. Add in that Rb just go the next report card, mostly B's I'm very proud of her progress. E and C have Parent-Teacher meetings later this week... Here's hoping for more good news as I continue to home tutor them ! Till Next Time.

Wow, Time for a Serious Update.

So. Last time I Blogged RB was Turning 2? Sheesh. I'm SO behind. E is now in Kindergarten. I'm attending School again, and We have a new addition. Our newest girl is O, now 4 months old. I just might post some pics soon. We had a beautiful Easter, and E wore a sweet dress, made specially by Grandma G. Right now I'm on break in school, and hopefully I will get some crafts done. I am hoping to make some hair pretties for the girls during this time, and decorate the kids room. Oh. And my very special boy, C, turns 5 today. Happy birthday, Son!
And now, time to assist cleaning. Happy Blogging and I'll see you soon!

A Special Post.

My little girl, "RB", turned 2 yesterday.

She is so wonderful, and although she's reached the 2s, so far it hasn't been too bad. A little fussier than normal, and trying to find out more of her limits and individuality, but I find, either because this is the 3rd time through it, or because she's more mild, it's much easier now than it was for E and C.

We had some family and friends help us celebrate, and I did my normal "thing" for the birthday and made a cake. I made a cupcake-cake. Now, I like my cakes to match the theme, if there is one, either whatever seems to suite the child most or to match the presents for birthdays. For RB, I didn't know what direction to go. She's my, so far, more "girly" daughter. She's never shown interest in princessy stuff, and she didn't seem to have a favorite toy category (like C did for the past 2 birthdays, this year was Thomas the Tank Engine, last year was Lightening McQueen, or E who had her horses this year).

So I went for a "symbol" of what made me think of her. For C, it's boy stuff in general, for E, it is ducks, bunnies (used to be a nickname), and now horses. For RB, I always think of flowers or butterflies. I picked butterflies, and decorated the cupcakes as a single cake with a large purple butterfly. It's not great, but it's not to bad. I'll post a picture(My first Blog Picture) later. And now I find myself thinking "Oh, hey, I could do this (What did you think I would tell my plan for my creation THIS early to Independence Day?). So, Stay tuned for the next posts from One Crazy Lady, as I get knee-deep in schooling, work, sewing, and cake decorating this week. Maybe after that I'll do some fiber-processing and get to post about THAT! Thanks for reading!

Added Note: As you can see, I added the picture! Let me know what you think, and suggestions for improvements!
