My success today?...Getting through the day! A six week old, a 21 month old, and a 7 yr old...holy cow! I thought I had issues with time management and balance before-I ain't seen nothing yet. My poor Mallory did not do well today: wouldn't nap (which means I'll be up tonight), was VERY clingy, and was just getting in trouble to try and keep all of my attention. I thought I did pretty good with dividing my time but she's used to having me all to herself. I love my awesome Sister more than anything dipped in chocolate (even more than that!)...I hope to heck I can pull this off for her.
I do believe that I will succeed in achieving my goal of getting my creative groove back-my wheels are always turning now, constantly thinking of new ideas and projects. *!*I love that*!* I'm always thinking of ideas and projects...hu...hey maybe this 21 day Challenge is already kicking in-HOW EXCITING*!*

Hi Dianna,
I did a little research about cleaning your grandma Jeanne's doilies. See if any of these sites are of any help:

http://www.fashion-era.com/Vintage_fashion/a13_cleaning_vintage_tips.htm

Also, Martha Stewart has that big Homekeeping book in the bookstores. She may have something in there about cleaning vintage doilies or lace.
Hope this helps!
Hey Di--you WILL survive. You just have to find a new groove now. It will probably be hard on Mallory for a bit, I'm sure. Aiden still gets a little jealous too. She'll get used to it. Enjoy the special time with your neice! Give her a kiss for me.
Looking forward to hopefully seeing you in NOVEMBER!! Woohoo!
DLN....The problem is not so much trying to care for children....the problem is attempting to do ANYTHING else beyond just that....You're a tough little Cookie...you can do it.....Girl Power and all that!!(all five of you...including Annie) :>
