To Weave or Not To Weave???

Well I had one of those round Knit Quick looms. Can't find the darn thing anywhere. So I plunged into Michael's thi spast weekend with my 40% off coupon proudly in my hand. Headed straight torward the yarns and snagged that rectangle loom kit. Yeah that's right rectangle looms. You can make all sorts of things that are straight edged. pot holders, scarfs, lap blankets, or blankets. It is up to you on the size. Just like the round looms except they are rectangle. Well during this past Saturday football games I managed to suffer through the two games and achieve a completed scarf. I use one whole skein of yarn from wally world $2.33. And about 8 hrs later. VIOLA!!! Keep in mind I did do the laundry, take a bath, watch the game had lunch and dinner to...Oh yeah I bought a few groceries somewhere in the mix to. But it was very simple. My hands didn't cramp up like the crochet work. Any way I will have a warm neck for a while.



Thanks for looking.

Tie Dye Nails??

Humm never heard of this application for the fingernails until now.

Well I gave it a try. Maybe I need more practice to... Humm??? I may have actually picked out to many colors huh? Well It did work.






Although I thought it looked pretty neat. Hugh said it looked like I forgot how to paint my nails. And Kristin said it looked like a 3 yr old did it. lolol... So I had to result back to a grown woman look.


What ya think?




Hugh said much better!!!

Gasp, Where have I been??

OMG, I have totally forgotten about this blog this week!! I actually got a new app for my Kindle Fire. It is creat. The App is Cozi. It is a journal, things to do list, grocery list, calendar. OMG I have been using that instead. Also been back to work after the much neede time off for ringing in the new year. Yeah I am probably on the same wagon as lots. Lose weight, shop smarter, coupon, be a better wife, mother and cook!!. Oh and somewhere in the mix I am bound and determined to find more ways to enjoy me time. I am always running around, creating, working, shopping, striving to do better for others. Not this year. I am going to start saying there is the freezer!!! You are big people to!!! HUMPH!! Now that the air is clear on that I am also going to be more "RESPECTIFUL" to, for and with others. I have learned to much by being hard and sharp with my family. Not this year 2012!!

Happy New Year and December Daily Update

Yeah I kinda sorta seriously crashed and burned.. I have some photos and I entend to finish this up. I forgot the camera for like 3 days. And not to mention, but I will what is exciting about...work, supper time, computer time, bath, bed...every day.. There are only so many times you want to scrapbook the dog...By me not having smaller children at home made this very hard.. We did have the grandkids on December 26 and 27.. I did take a picture each day there. Oh yeah I did get one of hubby sleeping with the dog on December 25.. Umm yeah this was very hard for me.. I wanted to attempt the 365 Project from Becky Higgins or Ali Edwards .. My have to just scrap what I can when I can.. Can't do that daily thing.. To me it then turns into a teenage like journal.. Oh wait that was Dear Diary!!
Looks like I am not cut out for the demanding document type thing. I document when I feel like it..
Well thanks for reading and I will be trying something with the 365 thing..

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

My New Years Day!!
