a sweet lil' birthday gift.

Last week Isabella attended a small birthday party for one of her little friends who just turned 2 years old.

Totally random:
Terrible two's hit me hard with all three of my kids. They were constantly testing me and it was really difficult for them to express themselves with words so they just expressed themselves with fits of temper. So NOT sweet and enjoyable. But I come equipped with memory auto-delete. Any experience that is too traumatic {like the terrible two phase} is automatically deleted from memory storage. Which is probably why I'm still somewhat sane.

On that note, I'm wishing my friend lots of luck with her daughters 2 year old stage :)

So I made Miss A. a little something for her room.  A yarn puff bunting and a fabric embroidery hoop.

I'm sure she has no idea what this is {and probably isn't very exciting for her}.. but it was made with lots of love. And with a hot glue gun...which by the way, gives you big fat blisters if it happens to land on your skin.

But it's ok. It was worth it for our little friend.

And after I made this little gift, I stepped out of my little craft room and into my kitchen and made the
best dinner my family has ever had. Because I'm just the best housewife on the block.

What? Sound too good to be true?
Of course it is.

Here's MY reality:

And 3 days later it still looks like this.
