Sweat-shop, Fussy Baby & Tantrums

So far that title best describes my day!
I am working away at my creation trying to get some things to the manufacturer. I will have a price once that happens, which means I will know how much I can spend on fabric! Speaking of fabric, I thought I would give you a little sneak peak just to...say wet your whistle! However, just know these are NOT final fabrics and are just the ones I am using for samples. I am fairly smitten with them though!

Secondly...Below I will post a photo of the look that Pearl gets on her face each.and.every.cotton.pickin.time I set her down today! WAIT...except for once! One time I set her down in a pile of toys with a veggie stick in hand...then she was fine.....for about one minute! I am not sure what to "chalk this up to". Her ER visit on Friday produced no answers and then she seemed to have been pleasant again. Now, today is back to the fussies. For a typical "happy go lucky" baby, this is kind of sending me for a loop. And...to top it off I chose that today I am going to be productive! There's always tomorrow!And to set me into the right mood to be productive, my 2, 3 & 4 year old have decided to throw tantrums. This is a rare occasion here, usually beat out by whining or good 'ol crying. Not today...today is now declared Tantrum Day! I would have taken photos of that too, just to prove it to you that my 3 eldest angels could act like that, however I was unable to even pay one moment of attention to the tantrums in order to try to STOP THEM! So..maybe next time!

Oh yeah...and to define productive for me today. No...I do mean dishes, laundry, personal hygiene, tidying toys, vacuuming carpets or cleaning bathrooms. By productive I mean...cutting 15 sample sets, making a small dog bed for my daughter in between, oh...wait...then she wanted a blanket for her toy dog, sewing and assembling one complete sample and somewhere in there making a few phone calls. I have a feeling with the tantrums and crying baby in the background the phone calls are not going to make it to the "checklist" for today!
