More Goodies

Today Ladybug made chocolate crackle cookies and champurrado.

After I finished my collar I made El Capitan!

Working on another now in black!
I joined the adhdknitting 2nd Annual Ornament swap! I need ideas!

Happy Halloween!

If I have any followers left, I would be amazed! I know I have slacked beyond slacking but I am slowing getting it back!
It's raining here, hopefully it will stop soon and I can take Butterfly trick or treating. Ladybug was invited to a classmate's party tonight. We made her costume, she is going to be a cannibalistic doctor. She is wearing my lab coat, stethoscope, gloves, & a mask. Made some fake blood and splattered it on her shirt, made a fake knife and scalpel too. Her name badge reads
Dr Killem Theneatemall!
I am so clever!
Today, I knitted! Working on a knitted collar. I received the yarn and pattern in my KYS MYB swap.
I made potpourri from the flowers at Tash's wedding.
I even hung some (crooked) pictures today!
Tonight I plan to make a huge pot of chili and bake some cornbread and watch a bunch of horror flicks!
Be safe tonight!

Lovely weekend!

I hadn't posted about the dogs in awhile,
here are the boys playing as usual!

and Diamond watching.

Ladybug's friend (my third daughter) spent the night and they did a bunch of crafty things!
Painted wooden spoons to decorate my kitchen

dyed yarn


Nia drew & painted a pic for Ladybug

they even painted boxes and baked cookies



I unpacked a few more things, I am really loving space bags- need to get more! All in all, a very relaxing weekend. Things are slowly coming together, I even had company- my girl Tish finally came over!

OMG!

First off I apologize, I am still trying to get this house together. It has almost been a month, we are still not unpacked! No rush I guess.

My mom and brother came to visit last weekend.


Brought the girls comforter sets for their rooms, will take pics later- VERY cute, dishes, waffle cone maker, scrubs for me, and a candle set.

My former teacher, now friend bought me dishes, on Ladybug's bday-yes she is 14 now! Has a cute new haircut and everything!

Today is Butterfly's picture day, curled her hair for her.


Today I received this AWESOME wreath from Gail in the mail! OMG! She is sooooo talented! I can't wait to hang it.

I'm back!!!!!

I am soo sooo sorry that I have been AWOL but the closing was moved up to the 25th which worked in our favor because there was no way in hell we could have had that place empty and cleaned in one day! I was a little upset at first because we had to come up with more at closing than we signed the contract for but we worked that out. I can't believe the only reasonable insurance quote was from State Farm, who we went with because they don't DISCRIMINATE against breeds!!
We moved from Friday to Wednesday! But everything is in OUR HOME now. I didn't take too many pics because we have so much still to put up but I don't care because it's mine!!!!!

Even the dogs are tired!

You never realize how much stuff you have until it's time to pack or unpack!

Been so long

It's been SOOOO long since I posted! I have good reason, been taking care of all the details, finalizing the house. We close on our first home on September 30th! YAY!

The bad, my living room is a mess of garbage bags! I have been going through all of the junk in the basement and putting ads up on Craigslist.

They sleeping like they actually helped!

I finally bought some ribbon for the outfit for baby Lydia. Now I just need to get off my butt and make the beret and socks.

Some Updates!

Ladybug made sugar cookies to take to school. She will be the most loved in no time!

I finished the Beaded Wedding Bag for Tasha! I was trying to take a close up pic to show the lace and bead details.


My Ladybug has contacts now! They both are really enjoying school!
We started going through some of the accumulated junk in the basement. Too much to shred so we put it on the grill and lit it up. I want to have a yard sale or at least do a curb alert for the clothes and shoes.
