Fear the A-Hole.....Not the Reaper!

Ok so here is the latest. We lost our garden! Yes, I must part with my dear baby onions that Paivi, her father and myself planted with such love, patience and manure. It turns out that the easement behind my house where the garden beds are belongs to some A-hole who wants to put up a fence and divide our property lines. What purpose will this fence serve you might ask? NONE, except to keep me and my family from using it for such fruitless endeavors such as utilizing the earth for one of it's most magnificent purposes....growing crap. Yes, that sentence started out lovely but I am bitter and bitterness overrides eloquence apparently. So, my onions are thriving despite my not watering them due to the recent rains which is even more of a slap in the face, mine and the A-hole that will be responsible for their inevitable demise.
On a lighter note, my amazing daughter is flourishing like nothing I could ever have imagined. She can now count to five, say some of her ABC's while you are singing the song. She should be the healthiest baby around because her favorite foods seem to be anything high in antioxidants......blueberries, tomatoes, strawberries, black beans, pickles. What? Pickles aren't on the list...oops. Well, she can't be perfect.
I was trying to find her a robe for when she gets out of the bath at night.....she prefers a robe over a towel.....and couldn't find one for a toddler under 30$ so I said.....screw the man! and made one myself. Check it out and tell me I am not Siouxsie Homemaker!
I had every intention of punking it out but the fabric (terrycloth) frays easily and I am concerned that I will lessen it's integrity. Who knows, maybe one day soon I will throw caution to the wind and princess it up with some black ribbon or butterfly skulls. I will keep you posted. Until then......she will just have to rock her little pink robe PQutie style which is cooler than any accessory I could pony up!

  1. I would also like one in pink, please, just a bit larger. (Will there be a Baby Threads robe collection out in the fall?)
