Crazy hectic busy weekend has only begun!

The start to my crazy weekend has only begun and its started off good so far.  This morning I did my yard sale rounds came out with some clothes for Alyssa and I also found 2 huge boxes of fabric for $5 a piece (awesome score).  Then it was home to unload the finds and clean the car for tonight.   Tonight is girls night again which includes me, Nikki, and our 2 rug-rats where we are going on a shopping run for me for bday presents for the rest of the weekend its also gonna include a trip to chuckie cheese (pray for us)!  I have plan the rounds out for this shopping trip but it never fails something will happen and mess it up!  Then it will be back to Nikki's' for a little while!


Tomorrow is was has become known as the Old Ladies Birthday Party (and yes I'm included in that)  the age range is from 26 to 92 but its always a blast when we all get together.  We are partying yet again at Big Jake's.  


Sunday is one of the nephews (josh's) birthday party which we are doing at Creekmore park so he can ride the train and go swimming and then its back to my grandmas to eat, do presents and cake!  


Someone can come insert that caffeine IV now because I'm sure by the end of the weekend I will be worn out and need it desperately!


Does someone wanna come be my stand in?   Please!  Because just thinking about all of this is wearing me out!  

1 very gigantic bottle of tequila please!

Its just been one of those kinda days and with all the stress and pain Dr Pepper (no matter how much I love and worship the stuff)  just isn't cutting it today I need something STRONGER!   Or better yet someone take the kid for a week and let me relax and sleep and I might just survive!  LOL!  Ahhhh if it was oh so easy to do(well it is but its illegal and not gonna do that one, but one can dream as long as she doesn't act on it)!   Off to go do yet again more dishes and laundry.......




Good bye until later my crazy followers!

Ok need opinions!

It was suggested I get a water pik!  I've spent all day researching looking at reviews comparing prices, and well I'm more confused than ever!  So if you have used, currently have or know anything about them which one would you suggest?   I'm open to any and all suggestions right now I'm at a total loss!   Rescue me my crazy but loyal followers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGHHHHH the pain!

The last week or so has been a long one!  I had a dentist appointment about a week ago where I learned I have to have $1057 worth of work done thank goodness for insurance it'll only cost me $300 yeah I know still wow but better than the no insurance price. Thankfully its not all at one whack the work will be broken up in to 3 appointments so that will make it a little more manageable   Even though right now I think I would rather it all be at once considering the pain I'm in.   I woke up yesterday morning with my bottom gums in the front swollen so bad they are practically purple and hard as rocks.  Anbesol has been my best friend. 


I have been managing to get some sewing done thankfully.  I've made about 30 felt strawberries!


Well off to go find my friend and numb up the mouth again later all!

Its been a crazy week around my house! This is the first full week of summer for Alyssa (whatever idiot thought up summer break needs to be taken out back and shot by a bunch of 6 year olds)!  Alyssa plans on spending a big part of her summer at her nana's house helping her out and sewing.


Tuesday Alyssa's cat decided to have her kittens 6 in all!  It was an eventful occasion around here because I spent all morning rescuing her out from under Alyssa's bed (which isn't easy) then the last time Alyssa's came in here saying "princess is under my bed again and she sounds funny"  and to that one I took off running.  Only to get there in time to see her cleaning up the first kitten.  So moved her and the kitten to the box in the kitchen that I had ready for her.  But they are so adorable and cuddly.  The first thing Alyssa does every morning (even before potty time)  she has to go in there and count to make sure they are all there.

I have decided to set up a booth at the old miner's day festival down on main street in September.  In doing so I've spent most of the week planning the stuff to make!  So far on the list is check book covers, pillow case dresses, table runners, coasters, place-mats, felt food sets, and Alyssa and her nana are also plotting and planning.  Its gonna be a crazy few months getting stuff done but I'll pull it off somehow (oh yeah Nikki voluntered to help I just might take her up on that offer lol even though she may regret it)!  

Last night was pretty much an almost normal Friday night went and got my nails filled and decided to treat myself to a pedicure while I was at it (got yelled at by my pedi lady whoops lol)  then went to Big Lots to pick up some stuff and while there Alyssa decided her and Lyla (Nikki's daughter) really need some lip gloss, these water gun things that had candy in them (of course they had to be the pink ones so I had to dig for 2 pink ones)  and Cheetos (note to self never take her shopping with me again).  Then off to meet up with Nikki and lyla and off to Walmart we went where we got stuff for our crafty night.  We made the cutest bows (if I may say so myself)!  It was the very first time ever either one of us has ever made bows!  Then it was home and bedtime (super late compared to normal)!  

Today is up and at em!  Its a family affair to replace the humongous picture window in my grandmas dinning room that has been cracked and being held together by duct tape (I swear I would marry that stuff if I could it solves so many problems) since the winter when it cracked.  Then its dinner for all and after all of that as long as work doesn't decide to keep the boyfriend hopefully I'll get to see him for the first time in 2 weeks since I dropped him and his little boy off at the bus station!  Then tomorrow is grocery shopping and to start the craziness all over again!  

But for now its off to work on some felt food then a shower!  

Chic Check? LOL

So in the process of making and getting stuff ready for Old Miners Day festival I've decided to play around with check book covers!  I started out with some plain ones this morning just trying to figure out the pattern.....

 and now I'm on to working on a quilted one! (pic of quilted one will come later, its still a WIP)

So heres my problem.......  Price what should I price them?   Any suggestions?

You Know you are a Quilter when....

1. Your child spills juice on a shirt and instead of looking for stain remover, you are thinking, "Hmmmm, that pink would make a really pretty heart in my patchwork project..."

2. UFO does NOT mean "Unidentified Flying Object."

3. WIP is something you need to do, not what a lion tamer uses.

4. You have a "stash" and it isn't illegal.

5. You go to get a tiny piece of fabric, and a whole stack falls on the floor.

6. You come to the realization that fabric breeds. You KNOW you've never seen some of that stuff in there before.

7. You buy your own Christmas presents from the fabric shop and give them to DH to put under the tree. (You know you are an online quilter if you know what DH means!!)

8. You find yourself drawing the bathroom tile pattern on a piece of toilet tissue in a public restroom.

9. You think thread is a fashion accessory.

10. You have tried to (or at least thought of) using cat hair as batting.

11. You have purchased more projects than you can do in your lifetime, and yet you continue to look for more.

12. All your walls and beds are bare because you give everything you make away.

13. Before a major holiday or event, you can be seen either up at midnight, or in the car on the way to the event, sewing the last few stitches in.

14. You have given unfinished gifts.

And the final way to tell that you are a true quilter:

15. Fabric Fondling does not sound obscene
