Also, I am on a search for a new pair of glasses, (My eyes have continued to worsen) but can't find anything I like and have checked like 10 places. I think I'm just REALLY out of style all the time with my taste. A salesperson today told me that my current glasses are totally wrong for my face. So apparently I look bad all the time and know nothing. It's frustrating and I wish I wasn't getting so increasingly blind and didn't have to wear glasses.
So I usually don't post many crafts on my blog. It's not for lack of examples, but I just think people don't like my taste/I don't want to seem like I'm bragging or something. BUT, I worked really hard on finding a design/pattern that I liked for this year's diaper bag, (current model is literally threadbare) so here it is, finished this morning:
The birds represent me, M (blue), and E (red) The boys helped a bit and were really proud to be "featured" on the bag.
Also, my son has reached his I'm-almost-4-and-I'm-such-a-dork stage. Check out the outfit he put together this morning (5 minutes before we needed to be out the door) I am changing from mom-who-encourages-child's-creativity-by-letting-them-dress-and-express-themselves to mom-who's-child-has-gotten-so-creative-it's-bordering-on-inappropriate-and-so-censoring-is-in-order mom.

I can't believe you are feeling self conscious about your blog--I love what you have to say and seeing pictures of your cute fam!
I LOVE your new diaper bag, it is so darling. I guess I'm a crafter want-to-be. You really should feel more proud of yourself, there's not many people that can do all you do.
Love the creative outfit, you're A LOT more patient than I am. We get dressed once and that's that.
I love the bag, ADORABLE! Thanks for watching the boys tonight. Sorry E had to get more testing done, that sounds awful.
Hi McKinsey,
I have been blog stalking after I linked to you from Allie. After reading your post I have to tell you that you are an amazing "crafter" (is that even the right word?) That diaper bag is amazing, I love the colors and I love the birds. I don't think you should be worried about bragging or being self-conscious about what you write. It is your blog and if people don't like it they don't have to read it. But I know what you mean, I totally over analyze mine too but then I have to remind myself not to care and do what I want. I think you should show more of your crafts, I like to see what people make and then it makes me want to try new stuff.
Sorry this was so long I just wanted to tell you that you have a really cute blog.

i'm placing an order for my next diaper bag, okay?
and yes, write away! we will listen and we will love it.
I love the bag! I think you should post ALL of your crafts
You have me laughing out loud at the comment about the boy dressing himself. Too funny! And I love the bag you made. It's fabulous! And you should always post your crafts. It's what you're doing. That's what you're supposed to blog about.
I LOVE THE BAG, SOOOOO CUTE!!!
M has such a great look. Just wait, it will be so in next season.
Don't even think about not blogging. How would I stay connected, see cute pictures of the boys, and see the amazing things you create. I love the "I dressed myself" look, although it is a bit more creative for outside the house than his aunts and uncles ever chose.
I really like your glasses, your style, your craftiness (of which I'm quite jealous), and your son's imagination :)
I love your blog, please don't ever stop blogging! And don't feel bad about sharing your crafts. I love looking at other people's projects and I adore your taste and creativity. It's inspiring!
M will definitely thank you in the future for editing his wardrobe combinations. But I'm very glad you got a picture first!
