MY MOTHER SAYS!!!

Shameless plug:

Some of already know about one of my side projects "My Mother Says" Needless to say I have been so busy I have not had the time to put into it that I would like. Here we go again!!! I have a goal now though. I currently have 26 quotes...I want 100 by Mothers Day 2008! Can you help me!?!

What is “My Mother Says…”?

You know all those sayings your mother said to you as you were growing up? That's what My Mother Says is all about. It all started with me saying something goofy my mother always said to me and it made my friends laugh hysterically. I soon learned it wasn’t only my mother that had a few words of wisdom…everyone has something funny their mothers always said that they may use as adults now. You have the classics like “Do you think money grows on trees?”, “The dishes aren’t going to wash themselves!”, and “Keep doing that and your eyes are going to get stuck like that!” My favorite of my mom’s is “Your big enough, old enough, and ugly enough, to do it yourself!” Meant only in the most loving way of course!

What is my goal?

I want to hear your mom’s sayings! Some may be funny, some sentimental, some meant to instill the fear of God in you as mothers do so well! Reach down in your memories and have a good laugh. You may not have to reach far, as I would love to get some kids point of views as to what mommy tells them all the time. Or you may be a mom and find yourself telling your kids the same thing! If you submit a saying we are asking your name, age and where you are from because I hope to be able to get these from all around the world. So once you leave a saying please let your friends know about us too.

My goal is to get enough sayings to put together a book of them. Once I have enough I would like to team up with the Susan G. Komen Foundation to have a portion of the proceeds go to Breast Cancer research. As Breast Cancer has affected many of our lives through mothers, grandmothers and friends, I think it is only fitting for the memories we stir to benefit a good cause.

Hello.......Is anyone watching this?

Did you know you can leave comments on the stuff I post?

I often wonder if anyone actually looks at what I have posted. Every once in a while I run into someone and they say "Hey I saw your pictures on your blog!" But otherwise I feel like I am doing this just because. So basically I am saying if you like what you see or feel so inclined to.....

LEAVE ME COMMENTS!!!

So I am still recovering from a show and workshop over the weekend. Last Wednesday and Thursday the troop I dance with Belly Dance for Life http://bellydanceforlife.com/ had the honor of learning a cane dance with the wonderful Mohamed Shanhin. We performed the dance at the Casablanca Restaurant that Friday to kick off the weekends workshops. What a tiring weekend but well worth it! We learned three new dances and got the chance to work with a very talented dancer and genuinely nice person! Thank you Mohamed for the workshops and thanks to Belly Dance for Life for hosting such a workshop!

the black sheep of the Knit Wits!

Knit-o-holic!

For those of you who have not yet had a look at the Knit Wits page. Here is what I have been up to. I am trying not to do double posts on the two blogs, but I had to post these. You are not going to believe this but I started this sweater maybe 4 weeks ago. It is going soooo fast! Actually these pictures were taken Saturday night and are already old. I am almost done the sleeves. The decrease portion was started yesterday, and I only have about another 4"s to go. I hope to finish the sleeves tonight. Block them tomorrow. and piece together Wednesday at the next Knit Wits gathering. All that leaves is the collar. Which should also go quick as a 2x2 ribbing for just a few inches. I am soooooo excited about this sweater! It is my first real sweater and as always I can't do anything easy! I like the challenges :-)

Back to Faire!

Yup it's that time of year again! Maryland Renaisance Festival! Here are some pics of me dancing at Faire and with my handsome man in kilt :-)!

New costume :-)
