20 Minute Simple Skirt Tutorial by Grosgrain
Alright I will admit to one more non-list sewing project Friday ;) I made this skirt and it would have been 20 minutes but I was having an off sewing day. I could not get the serger to work and I was interupted by kids but all in all it was about a 20 minute skirt. However, once I made the skirt and Eric saw me in it he ix nay on the skirt. Bad news for me good news for one of you. I am going give it away this week. More on that Monday.

On a side note, my sister and her family are arriving in LAX around 7:00 in the morning. Yippee! Yippee! We will see them on the 15th when they head up this way. It has been two years since we have seen everyone.

It has been an busy week. I accomplished two out of the twelve things on my list. I will have a big reveal on Monday, just in time for Made it on Monday hosted by Skip to My Lou.

2010 Sunscreen Guide by Enviroment Working Group

I personally do not like to use sunscreen, seriously! We try to stay out of the sun during peak times of 10-2. I only use it if we are in the pool. Otherwise, we use olive oil. I am not kinding and you heard me right I use Olive oil. It is a natural sunscreen. I tested it on myself one day and was fine. The next day on my fair skinned children and nothing, they were protected. You do have to re-apply more frequently but it is natural. I buy the Trader Joe's spray can of olive oil, no joke and I spray it on my kids and I and it works.

Since I decided to run a half marathon my weekends are going to be more full with the addition of long runs.
