How I did it
How to make a teddy bear
It took me
3 days
It made me
um...yeah.

How I did it: I cut the fabric one day, started sewing the next day, and finished the 3rd day.  I probably could have finished it in one day if I had a block of time.  I bought a pattern and just followed the directions. Read how I did it…

How to teach my baby sign language
It took me
18 months
It made me
proud

How I did it: DH and I learned a few signs and we keep repeating them. Now my son signs More, All Done, Milk, and Eat.  I haven't really been pushing others, because he has a lot of words as well and communication has been going pretty well. Read how I did it…

How to whiten my teeth
It took me
14 days
It made me
Perplexed

How I did it: I used Crest Advance White Strips, and I could not tell a difference. I followed the package directions, but did have to skip a few times because my teeth became very sensitive. I am open to trying again, but may use someone else's advice to brush with Sensodyne afterward. Read how I did it…

Halfway!

I’ve been reading, but the computer’s been down. It’s hard not to read, when you take a lit class. I won’t name the repeats, just some of the missing letters:
Forster, E.M. A Passage to India
Greene, Graham. The Heart of the Matter
Orwell, George. 1984
Waugh, Evelyn. Brideshead Revisited

I’m sure there are others. It will come to me.
So my list is a, b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, n, o, v, w

And my to do list:
e, i, l, m, p, q, r, s, t, u, x, y, z

Knit Christmas stockings for my family (read all 2 entries…)
Finally finished!

Well, except the hangars, but that’s not even really necessary. I can always tie them up somehow.

But anyway, they are so cute!
