The never ending weekend

So Friday I bought myself a new toy.  Still feeling the anxiety over the sticker shock....

However this little baby takes some EXCELLENT video. 
I think I need to upgrade my computer because Karl is not going to like me continuing to monopolize his Alien.   :)  The files just lock up my 4 year old computer.  :)

So my 1st assignment was to capture this weekend's Winter Meltdown tournament at St. Louis Sports Complex.  In November our 7th grade girls took 2nd place in a tournament here.  This year, we not only didn't win a game, we played like this was the 1st time on the court.  Sloppy and lazy. 

In the 1st game Friday night in under 2 minutes Bryana had 2 LAZY fouls.  In the last game on Sunday she fouled out fairly early in the 2nd half. 




So if you want to watch some videos of horrible basketball - I've uploaded a few here:

One of the downfalls of this new camera is that the files are so big I can only upload about 3 - 4 a week.  And they take hours to upload.  :(  So I will have to pepper in the other lousy games as I can. 

Poor Bryana did have to play 8 games of basketball this weekend, so some laziness I can accept.  However this was way more than just being tired.  UGLY.

The last two games of the regular season were Sunday night. Those while we lost, were MUCH better games.  Bree played much better and they were close. If she would have made half the layups she attempted - we would have won....

Here's to hoping this coming weekend's tournaments are much better.  I feel like I played 8 games of basketball I can only imagine what Bryana feels like.  UGH!

And another one bites the dust.

While my mother in law was out of town on vacation I went to her house and finished the curtains...YAY on more thing off my list!  I am almost to the point of taking on new projects...and I have no shortage of new ideas. 


Hung her Christmas present in the living room

Curtains I made and new pictures hung in the spare bedroom

Curtains I made hung in the master
(oh and that quilt on the end of the bed, I totally made that a couple years ago)

Curtain I made in hung in the living room along with MANY picture hung
Pretty sure her neighbors were happy when I left so they didn't have to hear any more hammering.

Curtain made and hung in the kitchen. 

So here is what I have left on my "must do" list before I can start another project

1. Finish quilting the cardinals quilt I started

When I finish this it will either be for sale or I will donate to
the Down Syndrome Association event as an auction item....
I am not the in to baseball.  So if you know any one who is..


2. The little doll house/barn toys.  I have all the stuff cut - just need to find the time to sew them

Have at least 3 or 4 of these to make
One next month for a birthday gift...
Wow I need to get  on this.



As soon as I finish this list my 1st "new project" will be to create a pattern to make this for my hubby. 

Don't worry if you don't know what a Tardis is...
It's a nerd thing..



Then I have purchased many a patterns to make some cute little summer dresses for my nieces  




And I have this new obsession with felt food.


Do you have any idea how much fun little people would have playing with this stuff???


So wish me luck on my last 2 "must do" items so I can start on fun new things!!
