Up My Sleeve

via on Pinterest



I found an old door along the road about a year ago. I had been waiting to find something to do with it. I think I have found my inspiration. We could use an extra place for seating/sleeping in the front room, and now I have something up my sleeve ;)

Close to Home

I am making a point to stay close to home this week, in the hopes of making it a habit. Since I put the kids in school I have been in the van more than in the house. Maybe it was the freedom of it all, who knows. I am finally sick of running around. The colder weather may be helping with me wanting to stay in. I am welcoming it. This house of mine needs some attention. I often get defeated with how quickly it gets away from me, or how it only takes Sat and Sun to destroy all the work I did the previous week.

I will admit one of my faults is accepting defeat too quickly....In my mind this house is so crazy organized I would put Martha to shame, but in reality it is lacking. I am human and I don't have a fleet of workers to get stuff done. Goodness a lot of the time I don't even have a partner to help thanks to his crazy job. I am not complaining because it keeps us fed and a roof over our head and clothes on our bodies....he just has to leave...a lot!!!

With all that being said I came to the conclusion that I need to try to stay home and get into some sort of routine. Some of the days have been spent on the couch crocheting gifts and trying to get a few items together to put in the shop. A lot of laundry being put away is taking place...vacuuming and throwing away bits and pieces of trash. It has been a breath of fresh air.

Piper is not complaining either....

My Hooks Have Been Working



A gift for my girlfriends new nephew. My hands have been busy with little projects like this. I have another to show of a crazy cute black/white/hot pink hat with matching ankle booties for my Misters friends new baby girl. These tiny projects are always so satisfying because I can finish them up in a jiffy.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and now are geared up for Christmas! We had a nice relaxing day at home with just the fam. The Mister and I even got a starbucks run in :) That always makes me happy!!!

Possible Christmas Photos

It is not easy getting everyone to cooperate for family photos. Add to that the fact that we take them our selves with a tripod every year. And sadly my #1 complainer is the hubby....here are two possibilities. I think I need to go back in and fix the brightness of number one though....

I Love These Girls

For my Birthday these ladies and my hubby planned a night out for all of us.


It was the night all the restaurants were celebrating Halloween...Don't adjust your computer screen that is fog engulfing us...hahahaha!!

I have known this lady for over 10 years. She's the sister I never had.


These people make up some of my family away from family. I can count on them for anything and I love them to death. God blessed me with some pretty awesome people in my life.

Another Year....


Today was my birthday. This is what I got from my husband and kids. A Franchi .20 gage over and under. Yes friends, I was actually excited about this gift. The Mr and I have been shooting skeet/trap together. It is a lot of fun and I enjoy the time we get to spend together doing it!
