Sewing Time

This is what I have been working on. Getting things made for the Railroad Festival. I think I will add them to my website also. I am making prairie dolls using a pattern from Sweet Meadow Farms. I love here patterns. Just ordered another one to make with cats and pumpkins. I can't wait to do that one. Below is some finished stumpy prairie dolls that I made. I am working on the ones with legs now. Love how they turned out. 

The Day Off!

This is what keeps me so busy. I watch my grandbabies Monday-Saturday. They are a handful. The baby is 9 months old and into everything. She discovered the piano yesterday and now will not leave it alone. Lots of  noise. lol Her brother is almost 4. Sadly, he did not get into Pre-K in September. I will try to work with him here. There is a 100 kid waiting list in their city, so that will not be happening. And his dad is a deadbeat so my daughter can't afford to put him in a paid Pre-K. In a way, I am glad I get to spend another year with him every day. 

Today is my day off from watching the kids. Doesn't seem to happen often these days. Love them to death, but love to have time to myself. So I think I will get crafting!

Christmas in July Swap

I did a swap last month with the theme Christmas in July. I love Christmas. My favorite holiday to craft. The swap was hosted by Ravenwood Whimzies. It was alot of fun. My partner was Allison. She sent me a wonderful package. Here is a pic of my goodies. Thanks Allison!

Prayers for Colorado and Idiots

My son has been looking so forward to seeing the new Batman and now I am just dreading it. It is so sad what happened in Colorado. I don't understand such evil. Just reminds you how precious life is. Sometimes I feel like I am going through the motions. That is sad when you think, it can all end tomorrow. The families and victims are in my prayers and thoughts.

Now to the idiots. You may have read this store on Yahoo http://news.yahoo.com/couple-colo-theater-shooting-escape-baby-toddler-tow-162024554--abc-news-topstories.html. First of all, they take small children to the movie theater at midnight. Then the chicken dad drops his four month old on the floor and jumps off the balcony, runs from the theater and drives away! With his fiancee, her daughter, and the baby in the theater that the shooting occured. He left them there!  And he admits it in the media. What a moron! Hope she has a brain and dumps him!

Another Hot One

It will be another hot day of about 100 degrees today. My son has another all star game(hopefully not his last). His game on Monday was so embarrassing and bad. They lost 20-0. The team did not play good at all. I hope today will be better. We went to the movies yesterday and saw "The Amazing Spiderman." It was my favorite Spiderman movie yet. Not just a bunch of action, it actually had a plot. Alot of those movies are just loud. Saw the preview for "The Dark Knight Rises" and it looks awesome. Yes, you can tell I have a son who loves action movies. It is one way to stay cool. Going to try and get some crafting done this weekend. I am in a crafting slump. So many things I want to make but can't bring myself to even start. Once I get started, I know I will be fine. Stay cool!

So Hot!

It has been unbearable the past few days and today is going to be the same. All stars baseball starts today and it will be miserable. My son's first game is Monday but I am keeping score for the younger team and now I kicking myself for doing it. lol I want to stay inside all day in the AC and sew! Hope everyone is staying cool.

School's Out!

My baby has graduated and on his way to middle school next year. I can't believe how time is flying by. He is the youngest of four and now he thinks he is grown. Now the fun starts with school out. I wonder how long it takes him to get bored.
