Things have been Super busy in my sewing nook,

Still in process of cutting out 4inch squares for a quilt.

I also pieced together 2 twin sized comforters, made out of Polyester.

Before you say anything about polyester let me tell you why i did such

a crazy thing as that.

My Great-Grandma Hazel Berry made THE most amazing Quilts from all kinds

of polyester.

One Year for Christmas when i was about 9-10 years old she sent a giant box

filled with a quilt for each of us…I LOVED mine.

Unfortunately i have no idea where this quilt ended up at. Probably somewhere

at my moms I’m sure.

Ok so now do you understand the reason behind my madness?

They are finished except for the batting. When i complete them

i will take photos and show them off.

NOW on to what i made tonight.

I got this crazy idea to make bags out of capri sun pouches, yes

i know people have been doing this for decades im sure, im a late bloomer.

We had gone to a birthday party sunday where at least 3 boxes of capri suns

were inhaled in a matter of minutes.

SO like any craft crazed mother, i dug in all the trash bins and collected them.

As well as drank 2 of them tonight, just so i could finish THESE two projects.

Little Purse

Lunch Bag or Make – Up Bag

Zipper and everything

I want to add a handle, but ran out

of pouches.

So if anyone wants to save their Capri Sun Pouches that would make me the happiest person EVER!!!

It hurts when people you love and who you

thought loved you back, can treat you with

utter disrespect in your own home.

you can go ahead and do what ever you want to with

your life.

Sorry if my 9 years of marriage, raising 3 children mean nothing

to you.

since you think your so much better

than the rest of us.

I wash my hands clean, i will not be treated as such.

good riddance

Sun in my eyes
Shinning on my face
Warming my soul
From the inside out

I really want to keep up on writting down all the silly little conversations
my children have when they dont think i am listening.
Today for instance while driving home from picking up Adia and Lennon. 

Lennon: mom how can you tell a dog is a boy or a girl?
Me: there is a way, its like how you know Your a boy
and Adia is a girl.
Adia: you know, cause you have short hair and I have long hair

End of conversation!

Man those kids crack me up...i love that they are still so very innocent 



They have always been a funny pair

you can’t really see them, but the kids are playing on a tire swing at the playground

i wish i would have gotten her whole face in this, it was

a spur of the moment photo…i love her expression

my loves

After church Sunday R. purposed a getaway for our family.
Lunch in the Haulapia's...

After church we rushed home, changed, loaded up Penny, & headed out.
We decided Penny should join us on her first out of town family trip
the first of many more to come. She is excellent in the car. just the
right size, maybe not for Really long trips, but not to bad.




I could take photos of Penny all day long...
That sweet little whiskers mouth




This one was on the way home, she was so worn out and sleepy

There are more to come, these were from my Nikon, i have more on my phone that turned out really cute…i have to email them to myself though.

This is my third skirt i have made…

no i didnt post the 2nd one, i love the pattern, I actually copied

it from a skirt i already own, but the material i used, was what

i had on hand, and i do not like the way it turned out.

So on to number THREE…

this one only took a couple hours.

i really like the way this one turned out, i love, love, love the

length, and the color, also the way it fits.

Please pay no mind to that messy kitchen behind me.

i can only work on one project at a time

This one you can really see the bright colors….

I couldnt help myself…

Who could resist those droopy eyes, and whiskery wet nose.

I know I CAN”T

This morning rudy needed to be at work early, so we decided, well let me  rephrase that ‘I’ decided to go early. Its 7:15 and we are at the school, the kids are playing.

This is my first go at making a dress….not to shabby for being my first one.

I know she looks like she stepped out of

a little house on the prairie book.

But i was using up what material i already had.

My sweet Neighbor gave me 7 bags of fabric the other day, including

another sewing machine.

My very first zipper, for never before putting one in

it looks pretty good. it as least zips….

i really wanted her to wear a plain while shirt, but

the only white ones we had were to frilly.

So pretty

The Day has arrived, everyone is excited.

The kids woke up at 6:30am all on their own..

Lunches are packed, hair is combed, Teeth are brushed

Adia Rose is starting 2nd grade, knows everything, doesn’t need her mom to walk her to class, and is a little to big fer her britches.

Lennon James is starting 1st grade, nervous about homework, extremely particular about his shoes, and a sweet soul.

Ian Matthews is being home schooled this year…he’s only 41/2 but so ready to start. loves to help people, has the most luscious locks I’ve ever seen, and acts so much like me.

When we got to the school, our bestest friends were just getting there as well. What a great start to a great day

In order.

Adia, Ian, Riley, Lennon

In Order

Strange man, Adia, lennon, Honey, Ian, Riley

My sweetheart, growing to fast.

You would think she has been wearing glasses for years. They suit her.

Also, notice her snazzy bag…her dear, sweet, loving Mother made it for her.

This boy has my heart…every little bit

He is so filled with compassion and love

At his desk…I asked him if he wanted a kiss….he did….he loves me

First year we didnt have crying…
