hello, my name is edie and i have ADD.
i’m highly distracted by all things shiny, and sweet….
so, when i should be sleeping, i sew quilt squares…….
and when we should be counting by 6’s, we’re fighting over who gets to play (frightfully bang) on the new-to-us piano……
and when we should be ironing laundry, we sit in our new craft studio and chat.it.up. about all the fun stuff we’re gonna sew and knit and glue……
and colorful…..

okay, and we also admire the little love note Caiti left us last week……
and when I should be organizing my dreadful desk, I find out that Kim has featured lifeingrace on Today’s Creative Blog!!! today could be a lost cause! Thank you Kim for making my day.
all in all, we’re still not doing so bad, it’s 12:50 and so far we’ve:
listened to 3 chapters of king arthur
sewed 10 quilt squares
played ‘onward christian soldiers’ 27 times on the piano
read a chapter in our reading book
recited our new poem, ‘rebecca, who slammed doors for fun and perished miserably’ 5 times
recited our old poem ‘the spider and the fly’ once—-it’s very long
finished our spelling and grammar lessons
listened to ‘positoovity’ while practicing our tap dance
counted by 3’s, 4’s and 6’s in an effort to learn our multiplication tables
completed our history lesson on the ‘east/west schism’ of the catholic church
practiced our irish dancing to a song called ‘the queen’s jig’
contemplated a trip to K-Mart (aka Kame-Apart) to look for baby bottles (for emme’s doll)
made brownies and started dinner—which so far includes beef and tomatoes
now, it’s break time, and i’m heading back up to steal away some time on emme’s sewing machine! weeelllll, unless i spot something shiny or colorful on the way up!
ADD Edie…I am exhausted just reading this post! By the way….I always stop by your blog for creativity….and I always get it!
Oh how I would love to be in your class Edie!!! Sounds like a wonderful life.
Whew!
I don't call that ADD,
I call that getting stuff done.
(However, I get easily distracted too. Isn't it fun?)
Enjoyed visiting,
Laura
Congratulations Edie ~ And after a bit of peeking into your wonderful blog…I can tell that it is well deserved. Your blog has great posts generously filled with great photos and information and, my favorite ~ great personality! Well done!!!
Smiles ~ Ramona
Since the first time I came here I felt you were positively brimming with creativity.
But I do wonder if we could catch you like you catch a raccoon (Shiny object in hollow log…Edie makes a fist and won't let go for anything! Hand stuck in log)
congrats on your feature! Your blog is always a daily stop for me.
WOW! and here I am happy the laundry's done and the beds are made!!! I'm a serious slacker!! If I could bottle up just a little of your energy I might feel better about myself! š
I swear I have ADD too! I am easily distracted by "other things to do" some "fancy" that pops in my head! Somehow I seem to get it all done except the laundry….laundry can always wait 'till tomorrow…right?
Congrats on being picked for today's creative blog! You deserve it!
Yeah for you and your wonderful blog! Yours is one I read each day and I adore it. You are fun and real and I like it!!
Be sure to enjoy your little moment in the midst of your busy, busy day.
This is my first time to your blog and I don't even have words to explain how much I love it. Your thoughts on good literature and homeschooling are wonderful. I am adding you to my must visit list. Thank you for such an inspirational blog.
You have a beautiful family and home.

Congrats on being featured… I always knew you could make it to the big time! ;> And just so you know, I totally get distracted by shiny objects too!!! God's blessings, Sarah š
Love, love, love this…yea for being the feature. (and you so DO NOT have ADD š
I want to be in your class too!
Or we could really mix it up and bring over some babies to add to the mix! I could supply loud big boys too. Would you teach us all to sew and play piano?
Can't wait to see your quilt! I bet it will be fantastic! It sounds like quite a productive morning to me. Congrats on the feature, you SO DESERVE IT!!
Can you send some of your energy my way… i'm running low today! And reading your post has me wanting to get going!!! tahnks for the boost!!

Seems to me that any day when Irish dancing is done is a successful day!
Why'd ya have to go making me miss homeschooling so dang much? Sounds like a fabulous day…totally jealous. Glad you are doing well and I'm loving the pics.
