Back again!

Like I said in the heading, "Back again. Wow, I did it again, went forever without a post.
Let me see if I can get you caught up.

Getting on the treadmill is not going so well.

But I plan on getting with it again real soon. It makes me feel better, so I don't know why I don't stay with it.
Lazy, I guess.


I have been making cards for all the graduations we had and Mother's day, but unfortunately, I forgot to get pictures of them.

But I have made some Father's day card for an exchange I am in and I did remember to take pictures of them.

I don't know why the picture is sideways, I took it with my phone and I am not sure how to turn it, so until I figure it out I will just leave it. You do get the idea, pretty simple cards.

We've also been busy planting flowers,

I do most of my flowers in containers, as you can see, pansies are my favorite, but I do have a bunch of petunias in pots too. We got this pretty pot of petunias at the local gardening center.

I just love it, I have it sitting on a table in front of our dining room window, so I can see it all day when I walk by.

Well I guess that's about it for now, my kids last day of school was last Thursday, May 16, and they are already bored. Wanna sit and watch tv or play playstaion all day. Our pool opens on Sat. so that will give them something to do.

Baseball and t-ball all start here in a few weeks and so will our busy summer.

Better go for now, talk to you soon.
Bye

It's Monday!!

Wow I don't know where this last week went but here I am again trying to catch up. 

I started my day on the treadmill. 

I would really like to lose some weight, and I really feel a lot better when I start my day this way. I only did a mile, but I figure you have to start somewhere, right??

I have also been working on some things to sell. We have what they call a Girls Day Out where we live and it is for home businesses and crafters. They have one in April  and one in October. My mom and I make handcrafts to sell. 

These are some of the baby blankets we make. They are fleece and we crochet a pretty border on them.

Here are some baby shoes my mom crocheted. She is alot better at little fine stuff than I am.

I think they turned our really cute and will look adorable on baby feet.

Well I better go get busy getting stuff ready for our craft show.
Thanks for stopping by.

I'm back!!

It's been forever since I posted on here, but here I am ,going to try again. 

As we all know yesterday was Easter. We had the kids and grandkids over for dinner and egg hunting. 

This is our granddaughter, Summer with her sack of eggs.

The kids looking for eggs, the one in the red shirt is our son, Sheldon.

Papa,(my husband) with our grandson, Hunter. 

This is his first Easter. 

This is our cat Tigre, watching all the action.

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter, thanks for stopping by. 

 

Easter

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good Easter. We had a pretty nice one.
Saturday night the kids dyed eggs.

Even Olivia got in on it.

Sunday I fixed a ham dinner and had all the kids here. After the dinner the older kids hid the eggs for the younger ones to go find.

That was a lot of fun to watch. We had put money in the eggs so they made out pretty well on the egg hunt.

I even managed to get a few cards done for some exchanges I am in.

All in all it was a good weekend. The  kids are home today and of course it's raining, oh well we needed it.
Until next time.

Happy Birthday Levi!!

Today my son Levi turns 17, doesn't seem possible.

Last Saturday was prom, here he is pictured with his girlfriend Kyndal. They have been dating for 2 years. I think they just make the cutest couple.

Anyway enough bragging about my kids, let me show what I have been doing lately.

My husband's aunt had a birthday a couple weeks ago, and I made her cake.

It was pretty simple but she liked it.

I've also been making cards, this card I got the idea for from Mary at
http://www.cardztv.blogspot.com/. She has a lot of neat ideas and I have learned a lot from her.

I also got the ideas for these 2 from Mary, the top one I made just because, the bottom one I made for my husband's aunt.

This one was made for a lady in our church, she use to teach music, so I thought this seemed appropriate.

Well that's about all I've been doing, I will try harder to post more often. Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment I'd love to hear from you.

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.

Sad news

I told you earlier this week we had gone to see my grandma. Sad to say she passed away this morning.

We will miss you Grandma.

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.

Happy Birthday, Greg

Hope you have a good one.
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.

I will have this in my Etsy shop soon.

Well I better go referee the kids.
Thanks for looking and leave a comment and let me know what you are doing on this cold snowy day.

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.

More cats and cards

Today I only have 1 cat to introduce. This is Mater, he is a brother to Luigi and Hudson.

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.
