I haven't even thought about anything yet! The baby is keeping me busy and the move. Hopefully things calm down soon. Easter is sneaking up on me and Im suppose to be making a sock monkey for DD2's Easter Basket. My machines are packed and I won't be seeing them again anytime soon so a family friend is loaning me her spare until I either get a new machine (mines been acting up so DH is trying to convince me to replace it.. Ive been spending 10 minutes fixing it for every 1 minute of sewing time) or get mine back. Shes such a sweetie for loaning me hers.
Im going to brainstorm some ideas soon. I need mother's day ideas. I did see a neat idea of making photo cubes out of CD cases, anyone know where I can get clear cases without the CDs? I don't have any since most of my CDs are old and I don't save the case, they go right into a binder when I get them. I just found out that my BIL will be with us for mothers day as well as my SIL so this will be the first mother's day in like 10 years my MIL will have all her children in one place. Id love to get some good pictures of DH and his siblings to do something special for my MIL. If I don't do the photo cube I might do a collage of the children and grandchildren since 4 of her 5 grandchildren will be there for mother's day as well.
Other than my MIL I need to think of something to do for my grandmas-in-law. Im thinking of just framing pictures of the children and having them draw pictures. One of them will not be happy no matter what I do and the other will be happy no matter what so I figured it would work. My grandma I always send flowers to (have for the last 8 years at least) so Ill order flowers closer to when mother's day is.
After Mother's day my husband deploys (I know not a holiday, no where close but it is something I need to do a few things for) Im going to make a small photo album of the family for him to take with him. Im also going to try to knit up some black beanies (only colors allowed in uniform are brown and black) for him to take with him.. It gets cold in the winter time (I know, I was out there during the winter) so I want to make sure he has stuff to keep him warm. I might try some gloves as well but Im not the greatest at knitting so it might be better if I stick to simple things.
After that two of my three SILs have birthdays. One in June, last few years we have gotten her Harry Potter movies, I guess another new one is coming out and DH wants me to order it and send it to her for her birthday. The other one Im thinking of getting a cross stitch kit of Eeyore pillow cases. She loves eeyore and just like me she loves having a ton of pillows on her bed. Im also thinking of doing a small photo album of the girls for her, shes always complaining she doesn't have enough pictures of us. Although I might not since Im going to be living down the street from my in-laws while DH is deployed so she will get to see the children on a daily basis if she wants.
Ok, enough brain storming. DS wants to nurse again then I need to work on packing up stuff for the move.
