Found a gift I REALLY want to get Brian, but I've already brought him his "BIG" gift....I brought him a Vltow Emod A5 Kit Mil-Spec Collapsible Buttstock Assembly for his AR-15.
OK, so, this is actually a totally "made" gift. I say this is his "big" gift because it was expensive, but the fact of the matter is that everything for my husband's guns costs $$ (We are a NRA friendly, 2nd Amendment defending, gun wielding family...and we're not hillbillies ;). He builds guns, collects them, shoots them, etc...He's not the BEST shot, but is working on it! Me too :)
So, this is an item that he can and will use....Plus, he's been begging me for various gun parts for birthdays, holidays....Usually we are throwing as much $$ as we can in savings, so this is special...I also plan on making him some scrubs for his birthday :) I have a pattern, I just need the fabric! It will be my first sewing machine project, and it will be "easy." Trying to think of other things I can make for him. He wants a digital camera (he writes gun articles and takes pictures of parts/pieces for blogs and submission to magazines, and he's been using my camera...He wants his own)....I can't make that!
I've made organizers, stuffed animals and pillows in the past, as well as simple mending, etc... But I have never taken on clothing or really creative projects. I hope I do a good job. lol. I also want to work on that quiet book....Need to map out ideas!
So anyway...Not too much going on. My little girl is fitting more and more into 12 month clothing (which is awesome, as she is 12 months old)...She is just so thin! No unhealthy thin, but she is very lean....Still hoping it has to do with daddy's "skinny" genes. I come from a Polish/Austrian background. We are not a naturally thin people....lol....Not to say that I am not in shape when I am not pregnant, but it's all in the genes. I have "thick" genes. Daddy has slim and trim genes - he can eat anything and not exercise (not a recommended practice) and not gain anything....Mommy has to watch it :)
:o)
