Since I couldn't get the flowers to work, I decided to go a different route. I used some wonder under and ironed on grass and butterflies. I didn't use any stitches to hold them down because I felt that would ruin the delicate look of the grass. I'm pretty happy with how they all turned out. I like that they aren't exactly the same and it was a relatively simple project but still looks good.
So other than these place mats (which I made last night) I have been very unproductive. I wound up using my free time for shopping and a long shower with no interruptions. Its was so nice to not have the normal shower conversation:
"Mom, open the door. I have to pee!"
"Go down stairs, I'm in here!" with soap in my eyes.
"I can't go down stairs. I have to go NOW!"
"okay, hold on." sliding across the bathroom floor to unlock the door.
"Thanks, Mom..... could you wipe my butt? I just pooped"
We also went to see Ghost Rider which I enjoyed but I love those kind of movies.
For some reason I really like movies based on comic books, especially since Matt read most of them as a teen and tells me how close the movie was to the actual comic book.
It was a good night but I'm glad the kids aren't gone that often. Even when they drive me crazy, I still miss them when they're not around.

wow. you're a much nicer mom than i. i lock the door and refuse to answer.
love the place mats, but will they stay in place after being washed and not being sewn down?
I really thought I was the only adult female who loved comic book movies...my son is so happy because he knows I'll always take him and his friends...Hellboy is one of my favorites, also V for Vendetta. (PS, those placemats are so springy and pretty!)
Hellboy is one of my favorites too! I think the 2nd one is coming out this summer, yea!
