little birdies

i love little birdies. this is our family in birdies, even the unborn is represented. i just finished their legs the other night because i could not sleep...and they still need eyes. i love how you can still see the marks from the embroidery hoop. eventually i want to put this little square of fabric on a pillow and will post that later...but i just really wanted to post it because looking at them makes me so happy.


i just got home from working at the y (a whopping 2 hours, almost made enough money to pay for gas to get there), velz is asleep and after putting away some dishes i am wasting time on the computer. yesterday i went to the gym and read the ensign while i was on the elliptical, and honestly it was such a good work out. i didn't look at the time once, didn't even try to understand what was happening on the lame soap operas or news that they play on the tv, and when i left i felt better physically and spiritually. i was even ready to give a f.h.e. about what i read. talk about a win-win. so i think that is my new thing, because a lot of times the ensign is put next to the couch and forgotten about, but there is a lot of good stuff in there and it is a lot better read than the sub-titles of the evening news or a basketball game at the gym, i know that. (and how was that run on sentence, sorry to anyone who is a writer or cares about the rules of grammar and writing. i write like i think- no capital letters and lots of bad punctuation.)
