she does those too. \u00a0So very creative and wonderful. \u00a0She was featured on a couple of blogs and now has enough business for 2 years or something like that. \u00a0What a great idea!<\/li>\n<li>Y&#8217;all are probably familiar with Purl Soho. \u00a0The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purlbee.com\/\">Purl Bee<\/a> is their project blog and they featured the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purlbee.com\/the-purl-bee\/2012\/3\/11\/whits-knits-big-cuddly-bunny.html\">sweetest, chubbiest bunny<\/a> on there this week. \u00a0It almost makes me wish that I could knit. \u00a0And, the bunny is based on an equally (if not a little more, in my opinion) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purlbee.com\/big-snowy-owl\/2011\/9\/22\/whits-knits-big-snowy-owl.html\">darling owl<\/a>. \u00a0So cute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Okay, I&#8217;m off to iron. \u00a0Well, maybe first I&#8217;ll do a little Just Dance 3. \u00a0We checked it out from the library and I love it so much that I think that I might have to buy it &#8212; used of course. \u00a0I had forgotten how much I like to dance. \u00a0It makes me happy. \u00a0It is problematic, though, because I have this little boy, E, and he gets mad because I get four stars every time. \u00a0Even after I explained about all the dance that I&#8217;ve had and how it would be ridiculous if I didn&#8217;t get four stars &#8212; he still wasn&#8217;t buying it. \u00a0So I guess I&#8217;ll be doing clandestine dancing for now. \u00a0Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Tuesday, y&#8217;all!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in the middle of cleaning out my closet today and doing the transition from winterish to springish clothes. \u00a0Now, be forewarned. \u00a0You should all know that this will alter the pattern of weather that we&#8217;ve been having and cause &hellip;
