Ya’ll, poor Noodle is still sick. She has the saddest cough and is feeling yucky enough we kept her out of preschool all week. She keeps telling me, “I’m tired, mommy. I go read books and nap.” Then when I bring her books she acts like I’ve just given her a million dollars: “Fank you, mommy, fank you!” All in her raspy sore-throat voice. It is making me heartsick. I told her I was sorry she was sick and she said, “that’s okay, mama, I okay. {cough, cough, hack}” So sad!
This means we had to cancel a trip to Boston we had planned this weekend. Maybe it will give me the time I need to catch up, get some pumpkins, photograph some projects, and get ready for Bee if he comes down with this nasty bug. But it means we’re missing my mom’s birthday. Our bags will be packed to visit as soon as this thing clears up… for my mom, no birthday present in the world rivals seeing her grandkids! If if it arrives belatedly.
*someone* defaced my chalkboard basket right in front of my eyes… hmmm… who could it “bee”?
Turn cheap-o Dollar Store “gortraits” into classier ones using the tutorial from Sew Woodsey. Did you know “gortraits” was a word, by the way? Totally new to me!
Going apple picking this season? Turn those apples into apple chips with this amazing recipe from The Pioneer Woman:
I can’t decide which project I liked better from Art is Beauty, the stool-turned-plant-stand or coffee table so I had to show you both!
City Girl Gone Coastal shared a tutorial for door decor; this would be super cute around the holidays:
Last but not least, CANDY CORN FUDGE from Mom On Timeout. No further explanation needed.
Get your linking fingers ready, it’s time for another party. Didn’t get a chance to refresh anything this week? Link up something from the archives, as long as you haven’t linked it up here before it’s good to go!
1. Link to the specific post, not just your blog’s home page.
2. Including a link back to this party at the end of your post allows others to play along or scout out inspiration for themselves. You would be even more amazing if you posted the Refresh My Nest button– I’ve even made it super easy, just grab the code below the button and paste it in the HTML section of your post.
3. An active linky is a happy linky. PLEASE visit one or more links that interest you so that everyone gets some comments and traffic. There’s nothing more discouraging than taking time to link up and no one visits.
Poor Noddle. I hope she feels better soon and Bee doesn’t get sick. I’ve been slacking on the refreshing posts {birthday party distractions}. Promise I’ll be back next week!
She is such a little poppit, hope she’s feeling better soon and Bee stays well. Ohhh a feature, thank you so much, a wonderful way to start a day! Thanks for hosting another wonderful linky!
Thank you for featuring my painted frames & Gortraits!
Thanks for the invite! Yes that is Dwell Studio fabric- I found it online a while back. It’s one of my favorites too!
Thank you so much for featuring my Candy Corn Fudge!
Found your linky party via a comment you left for someone’s great project at another party. You didn’t personally invite me, but I’m guessing I’m welcome anyway!
This is a Friday party, I see, and would be glad to join again next week. I’ll put it in my side bars of parties I do each week.
Off to visit your other joiners now (all of them that I have time for) and let them know I spotted them here. Can’t wait!
Smiles,
Suzanne in NW Illinois
Thanks for hosting, Im you newest follower!
Poor little Noodle 🙁 Did she give it to Little Bit? He has come down with a case of the ickies today. Little Guy was very grumpy and the only solution was a lot of snuggling, strawberry milk, and watching Cars twice O.o
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and inviting me to the party! I linked up my recent projects and I’m your newest follower! I LOVE your blog! : )
