Well, I thought I had totally flaked out yesterday. But then I remembered that I DID throw together a couple more valentine cards for local folks, and I made a super quick birthday card and FINALLY got my mom’s package out. Somehow yesterday went by faster and was more exhausting than it had reason to be. I started to make an official ‘thing’ last night but I just threw in the towel. So I did it this morning and it is my thing today. However, the idea was there last night, hence the Valentine’s Day theme.

Now it’s time to hang some diapers out on that line. And wash some dishes. Make the bed. Sweep the floors. I’d scrub the floors if I were really good, but I’m not that good so I’ll just sweep them.

Day two of thing-a-day I decided to make a pair of earrings using the bead caps that my mom just gave me.  So here they are- jellyfish earrings.  Made out of lacy bead caps, chain and chocolate colored glass pearls.
