My crafty kid.

Ben had been working on this for quite a while at school. It's a frog... a magic frog, apparently. Because it's golden. He sewed it all by himself, and I think he did such a great job. He usually sews with big embroidery thread and a big needle, but this time he got to use the little needle and thread. Fancy.

He's very proud of it. He's been telling us about his progress on it for a while, and today when we brought it home he said "I'm really awesome at sewing."

I am finished with law school!!! Hooray. Now I get to call myself esquire, even if I don't pass the bar :) I AM going to pass, though. Between my last final and the start of the bar review class, I had about 2 weeks off. It's been pretty awesome. I cleaned out my car (which looked like homeless people were living in it), we did some big spring cleaning, and a little reading of silly books. Well, okay, I started reading silly books before school ended. Jason got me the newest book in my favorite series. I had planned on waiting till school was over, it was going to be a little reward for myself. But I couldn't wait. So I read it anyway, after I'd finished 2/3 of my finals. I read really fast anyway, so it only took me a couple nights to finish it.

Oh and the point of this post! I forgot, it had a point. I did some crafting, finally. Today I fixed some clothes that needed fixing, sewed a little dress for Amelia, and made pants and a little stuffed bunny for Liam. I made the pants and bunny out of some pants I got on sale at Urban Outfitters a year or so ago. They were too small, but they were only $9 and I figured I'd just use them to make something. And I finally did. These pants are going to fit him for about a week, because I underestimated how huge he is. His butt just barely fits in them. Oops.
And for those of you who went to high school with me, these are the same kind of pants I used to make out of random fabric all the time in high school. Only tiny.

The bunny is cute though, and I gave it nice big flat floppy ears, so he can chew on them. He's teething and loves chewing on fabric these days.

Here's the craftiness. I also found the battery to my camera while we were spring cleaning, so no more cell phone pictures on the blog!!
