Skulls, Swarovski and a Stuffy Nose

My baby girl has a cold. It breaks my heart. All I can do is try to make her as comfortable as possible, but I still feel helpless. I hate using the nasal aspirator on her, especially when she's already in a fussy mood. When she's not crying I try to make a game out of it with her. I tell her I'm hunting the boogie monster and I ask her which cave he's hiding in. I then rush in and try to suction out that little monster and if I don't get him the first time, I tell her that I need to go back in and get him or that he must be hiding in the other cave. Sometimes she doesn't seem to mind it, and it has actually produced a smile every now and then.

I've been trying to get her to rest a lot today, hoping that sleeping will help her fight off this cold. During one of her naps, I was able to complete a ring that I had been working on before little Moony arrived. It's different than the other skull rings I have made in the past. It features two skulls with red Swarovski rhinestone eyes. Hopefully, if I have time tomorrow, I can take some more photos in natural light and post it for sale on Etsy.

Time for...wait...what time is it?!

Time has never flown by so quickly. It's ridiculous. Everyday I keep on telling myself that I'm going to set some time aside while Moony is sleeping to work on making new items to sell in my Etsy shop, She Lost It. Here it is, almost 7 weeks later and I have not worked on anything! After the diaper changes, feedings, entertaining, holding, consoling, burping, laundry, and taking care of two very dependent cats, it's 5pm and time to start dinner. I guess I need to fight through my tiredness at night and give myself some time to create new goodies. In the meantime, I think it's time to take Moony outside. It's the first day of Spring and it looks beautiful out. Plus, we could both use some fresh air.

P.S. I had to take a trip out to Target last night and browsed the clearance section of the girl clothes before I left. I found the hoodie that I posted about yesterday in size 9 months (for only $14!), so I bought it! Yay!
