I'm Back!!

Wow. I know it's been a while since I posted. Just trying to get everything straightened out since getting back from my Grandma's funeral, but I think I am mostly caught up.

We celebrated Sheldon's birthday on Sat.



I used my Cricut to make the cupcake wrappers and the and toppers. That was pretty fun.





We had all the family over for a spaghetti dinner, with cupcakes and presents.





Sheldon seem to have a good time and made out pretty well in the gift department.



I have a few new listings on my Etsy.



Going to try to add more later this week.

That's pretty much what I have been doing lately.What have you been up to?
Comment and let me know.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Sheldon!!

My baby turns 5 today. I can't believe it, he starts school in the fall and he is so excited. He told me he was going to build me a robot so I wouldn't be alone while he's at school. Aww what a sweetie.

Happy Birthday Sheldon






I won't be posting on my blog over the weekend. We are going to my Grandma's funeral on Sat.
Everyone have a good weekend, talk to you next week.

Monday.

Hey hope everyone had a nice weekend. Just the usual here, cooking cleaning, laundry. Did get a little crocheting done on a blanket. Should have it in my Etsy shop soon.

  I would like to give Caron Yarn a big thank you and tell you all how pleased I am with their customer service. I recently purchased some yarn from them and while I was using it every little bit it would have a knot in it. It was very frustrating, so I wrote the company. They responded very quickly with an apology and they offered to send me some replacement yarn. I received my replacement yarn today.

Yeah, Thank you Caron, and I will purchase from this company again.

I also have a new listing in my Etsy shop.

These Capri Sun bags are pretty cool. My kids pack all kinds of stuff around in theirs and we have also used them for gift bags.

The kids are on spring break this week, so it will be a whole different routine this week. Hopefully it will warm up and we can get outside.

Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment, thanks.

Happy Birthday to my hubby!!

With all the excitement from the snow and kids being home, I forgot to wish my husband a happy birthday.

Love your family.
 

Snow!!

This is what we woke up to this morning.

 

Yeah, kids are out of school.
I did get my blanket done that I started Saturday.

Long weekend.

Hello, hope everyone had a good weekend.

We went to visit my Grandma. She is in a nursing home and she has suffered 2 strokes within the last 2 weeks. As of right now were not sure of the outcome but we are all hoping for the best.


This was taken a few years ago, with a blanket we had given her.

I didn't get any cards made this weekend, I did make some Friday before I left to give my mom and my sister in law, but I forgot to take a picture of them.

I did get a little crocheting done on the long drive.



This is another blanket that will go in my Etsy shop when I get it done.

I did manage to get a little shopping in this weekend. I bought a few more pieces of fleece to make more blankets.

I have plenty to keep me busy. We are suppose to get hit with a winter storm tonight, perfect weather to stay inside and craft.

Thanks for looking.

He is a lot smaller than they are but he is a real sweetie.


Here is a card I made this morning . I made set of 4 .My kids bought me a Cricut for Christmas, and I am having a lot of fun making stuff with it.





These are already posted in my Etsy shop.

Kind of a cool overcast day here in Kansas. Good day for crafting.
Thanks for looking.

More introductions

Today I would like to introduce you to Hudson

 He is one of the brothers to Luigi, who you met yesterday.

This is Jackson,

He is from another one of those litters I couldn't get rid of. They aren't usually so grouchy looking, but I woke them up to take their picture.

I have a couple of new cards for you today. This one is for my brother- in-law and his wife for their anniversary.

The image is from

This is a set of 4 St. Patrick's Day cards I made, they will be for sale in my Etsy shop.










These are some granny squares I crocheted. They are for a charity who make afghans for families who have lost someone in the war.

That's all for today, thanks for looking.
