Happy Monday everyone!

Derrick is home!  We picked him up at the airport late last night.  We got home around 1am then Derrick and I stayed up a bit while Skylar fell asleep in his arms.  They were so happy to see each other.

This morning Skylar checked the mail as always and there were two boxes on the porch. One for me and one for her! This is peanut gallery mail and it’s actually Monday so we will be opening the packages on video later today for Mailbag Monday and that will be the video for tonight.  This is, of course, assuming all goes as planned.

They are out right now.  Derrick likes to take Skylar around to show her stuff he likes or places he used to go.  She sees a lot with me, but she just loves seeing this town through her daddy’s eyes.  He has stories he can tell her.  She loves to hear them.

The only video I uploaded last night was the Nightcap Vlog while waiting to leave for the airport.  Oh, but you’ll see my sweet raccoon family at the beginning so please check it out!

Not too much else to blog about today.  I need to shower and get dressed and get this day started!

Have a great Monday!  Darlene xoxo

Happy Sunday!

What a night!  Skylar had a very late nap then pretty much just stayed in bed after waking up from that because it was late. So she was up most of the night.  I was exhausted so I went to bed early but of course, I could not sleep.  When I did sleep, I ended up having nightmares.  Now I’m up and tired.  Skylar is sleeping.  And we need to pick Derrick up tonight… at midnight!  I hope we are both feeling up to that trip.  Especially me since I have to drive! lol

So yes, like I just said, Derrick arrives tonight.  I hope his trip goes well with no delays. The trouble with flying at night is that if you miss a connection, there are no other flights so you are stuck in the airport.  Fingers crossed that all goes well.  I have never been stranded with Southwest (knock on wood). But I have been stranded with Delta too many times to mention.  He’s flying Southwest which is my very favorite airline!  So happy they come in to Portland, Maine now.

Yesterday, I picked Skylar up from my sister’s then we headed over to Biddeford to see about boots for Skylar.  She picked out some ankle boots with a side zipper (she loved that the zipper had a tassel).  They are navy blue suede with about an inch heel.  They look just fab on her!  Very glad we were able to grab those.

Then when we got home, she fell asleep instantly so we were not able to go to the Wells Harbor concert as planned.  I didn’t mind as I was very sleepy and not looking forward to driving.  But the we both ended up having a messed up night.

Since I know I would not have much time for a video, I uploaded a Doodle Reload.  This doodle was from Feb 6, 2015.  I still have quite a few that I need to bring over to my main channel (the others are on my old craft channel). And at some point, I will be doodling again.  I tend to go through stages.  And I need new markers. lol

I also have to get fabric packages ready for tomorrow’s pickup.  And I feel quite confident my carrier will not put them out by the street this time and just leave them there. So unreal!

And don’t forget about the t-shirt dress that I have up for auction!  Please check it out!

Not sure if I’ll be able to record today or not.  Just don’t know what I feel like recording.  I need to do some sewing for Skylar, but I really don’t feel like recording that.  I need to just concentrate on the sewing. lol  But maybe I will. Who knows!

And check out this facebook comment I got last night.  Really?  Who on earth thinks it’s okay to come out and tell someone what to do like that?  I understand that many people hate my shtick.  I totally get that.  Just move on!

Have a great Sunday!  Darlene xoxo

Happy Saturday!

I woke up alone today and it was just so quiet.  Skylar slept at my sister’s house last night with her cousins Nora and Jesse.  I will be picking her up later today.  Not sure what I’ll do to kill time until then.  First, I must start by fully waking up. lol

Last night, since I was all by my lonesome, I decided to read comments.  I was free to use my naughty words. And one of my favorite words slipped out.  It always slips out but I always cut it out in the editing.  This time I left it in but as a blooper at the end of the video.  Watch if you want. Watch if you dare! lol

Not sure what I’ll be recording today.  Skylar wants some boots for school so we might head to Biddeford after I pick her up at my sister’s.  I also wanted to go to the summer concert tonight at Wells Harbor, but at the moment I’m not feeling it.  Need to wait until later to see how I feel.

Oh shit!  I have to sew for Skylar!  She has an outfit in her head that she wants me to make.  I need to get that done!  I can’t really work on that without her here, but I can at least start to get an idea of what I want to make.  I don’t think I’ll be recording any of that.  I need to just be able to concentrate with no cameras.

I also sold out of my Half Yard Cuts of fabric yesterday in record time!  They sold out in just over 2 hours.  I need to finish cutting those and get them ready for my lovely mail carrier to pick up on Monday.  He better do his job right this time!

Not too much else to say, at least not that I can think of right now.  Just feeling sad. That’s okay.  At least it’s a gray day so that always helps my mood.

Have an awesome Saturday!  Darlene xoxo
