Finished crafts.

I have been able to do some great crafting this last week. Mom asked me to make her a lanyard for her ID and so on Monday I headed tot he bead store and got what I needed to make that. I made her one and I made me one. I really like both of them, I can't wait to give mom her's. I finished up a cardigan that I was working on for Kami today too. As well as a hat and a pair of socks to match. I love the yarn and it makes up super cute.




I started a sweater for Kezri but I am not happy with it so I think I may take it out and start all over. It just isn't looking like something she would wear. I was totally sold on the yarn originally but now that I am working it up it is doing this weird striping thing that isn't very flattering. Darn Yarn. Not sure what I will do, right now I have put it away to come back to since it isn't working up like I like it, hopefully giving a break from it will help. Who knows. Kami is asking for more crocheted socks, so I think I will work some of those up since they are super fast and easy to do.

Today I was also very productive in teh kitchen too. I made brownies from scratch as well as a pot roast, Thanks Jake that Crockpot came in real handy. I also made homemade rolls. I am still stuffed from dinner and we ate 3 hours ago.

Now back to work tomorrow. Hopefully an easy day. Kezri has try outs for the Missoula Children's Theater. It make me a little nervous for a couple of reasons. She really isn't as out going as Kalaree, but she has this big desire to be the lead part of Cinderella. Also I worry since she gets headaches so easily, we will have to work something out for her to be under those bright lights, so we are aiming for nothing but a miserable couple of nights for her. At least this will be a good learning ezxperience for her one way or another.

I think it turned out so cute! I so wish I had a girl...then I could get aunt Holly to make all sorts of cute things for her! Not that you don't for McKay, but well, you know what I mean. Girl stuff is just much cuter, let's be honest!

My wish list

Now this is by no means a buy these exact thing list. I figured I would gives some basic ideas and you can run from there. I am really getting into the shabby chic look for my kitchen. As you noticed in a previous post I have gotten a few things but I have a few more things I would love to have. These are just few. I like the white and the decorative look. I am also into anything that would go with my new Iphone. I really could use a case and I would absolutely love a docking station at home with speakers so I could use it here. Plus, my music was lost in our hard drive crash so an Itunes gift card would be absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Now I also love my Cricut and I have a ton of cartidges that I would love to have. The ones I am posting here are ones I don't have and ones that I would like to someday own. I am puting them in the order, with the most wanted on top. PLEASE DON"T THINK THIS IS AN HAVE TO GET ME LIST! THIS IS JUST SUGGESTIONS OF THINGS THAT I AM INTO RIGHT N...

LOVE CRAIGSLIST

Since the new house has a room for each of the girls we ran into a slight problem. Basically how do you make two beds into three and one dresser into three. So I jumped on Craigslist this morning and found two twin size mattresses for $10 each and then another person had 2 box springs for $5 for both. I also found two dressers, nice ones at that for $20 and $40. So I furnished two rooms for $85. We already have a twin bed frame. So I figured I will keep my eyes open for another twin bed frame and keep the bunk beds together so that we have a spare bed for visitors. YES, I expect everyone to come stay with us at least once, we are the cool people. Kalaree is going to refinish (paint) one of the dressers and the bed frame that we have now for her beehive project. How cool is that. Not only does she now have a dresser but she also now has her beehive project to do. WOO HOO!!!!! I am really quite proud of myself to get all this stuff for such a great price and now I don't have to worry...

LOVE craigslist.

I was doing my usual cruise through craigslist tonight when I stumbeld upon a find. A family in a neighboring town is moving and needed to get rid of their loveseat. Slightly sunfaded is how they discribed it but it was free. Well to my surprise when I scrolled down to look guess what I found.... Yup the exact match to our living room set. It is sunfaded, it even looks purple in spots. But hey ours is not in the best of shape either so who cares. So now we finally have enough seats in our living room to have everyone sit without someone being on the floor or a kitchen chair.
