Yes, I am still alive!

I know, I know, it's been two weeks! I can't believe it! I've been working hard on getting everything ready for this weekend at the Spoon River Drive. I'm excited for it and hope that you all can come and visit me there! I'll be at "the Shed". It's in between London Mills and Farmington on Rt 116.

Well, I'm going to get busy now but here is a pic of Bo that is just like his dad:)

Did you ever have this kind of moment?

I was mad the other day because I couldn't find my sunglasses. They weren't anywhere. I figured I must have set them down in a store because I just couldn't find them. So I was at Target the other day and remembered to buy myself a pair (even on a rainy day). I was really proud because I had bought them before I would even need them. Way to go, me! Thinking ahead!

Skip ahead two days later and the new sunglasses were laying on the floor of my van. I thought I'd better put those thing away before I step on them. So I ripped the tags off and opened my little cubby to put them up and there were my long lost sunglasses!


Am I getting old? Is it my kids? Is it my husband? It can't really be me:)

I wish...

...that my purse always looked like this. In a month, it will look like a cash register exploded in it...minus the money. There will be receipts, change, and a bunch of suckers that were given to us at the bank that I always try to hide(I'm not always successful).


That big blue thing in there is my diaper case. It's vinyl and has a rocket ship applique. It's really cute. I bought it from Infantile on Etsy. Since we don't have to have a diaper change every time we're out now, it's nice for keeping everything together and neat.


I couldn't resist keeping this bag for myself! I love the colors, I love the shape of it! I'm going to put two more purses on MoreyGirl tonight!

A couple more bags!

I'm getting ready for the Spoon River Drive and have been making bags. Here are two that I made last night. I'll be putting them on MoreyGirl in a little bit!

I made a new bag!

I love this one! So cool and perfect for fall. Brown on the bottom with Heather Bailey's bright print on the top.

Then I used a cream quilted cotton on the inside with a pocket and magnetic snap.

My multi-tasker

Seriously, mowing and talking...just last night!




and I have a phone problem?!?

Like father, like son?

Yes, we have a deer head hanging in our living room. No, I don't like it but after 7 years now, I'm used to it. BUT, I do not dust it!
Well, Slone got to go to the Fall Festival this past weekend with his Grandma Windish. And look what he got....



He was so excited about it. I couldn't tell him that I didn't want to hang it in the living room too. So there it is. Slone is so proud:) It was a super long day for him though. He got to ride all of the rides and play with Aunt 'Nee and Jason. He's still talking about it today.

Charity's Sneak Peek

Update: I finished the crib quilt! So sweet! I really love it. Cute little piggies on blue all over on the back of it. All of the fabrics are Japanese fabrics that were picked out from SuperBuzzy.com.
I love that shop!








Your quilt top

At our house...

we eat way too much candy! Airheads to be exact.


Our conversation today:

Slone: Do you know what happens when you eat Airheads, Mom?

Me: No, what?

Slone: Your head gets really big like a balloon, then blows up!

Me: Really? Were do you come up with these things?

Slone: I seen it on a commercial.

Oh yeah, we watch way too much tv at our house too!

Wordless Wednesday

Pa's babysittin'.

Labor Day

We went over to Mom's last night for a cookout and I took a few pictures. This is one that I doctored up a little bit. But I think that it came out cool. You can find a great tutorial for it here, hankandwillie. It's a fun photography blog to check out. There are also some freebies to pick up too.this is the original.

Now here's another one that I fixed and it's original. Another tutorial here from momolgy.


And this is my niece, Taylor.

I think that these textures are something different for the pictures. Gives them a old and vintage feel. Just some fun things for a Monday, I mean Tuesday.
