One Hot Sunday!

Wow, I didn't realize it had been awhile since I posted. It is almost 90 degrees here today. I can't stand it. I really do not like the summer heat and it is only April! We haven't had any spring. I love spring. Now I am sweating already with the AC on.
Nothing much has been going on here. Lots of drama with my oldest daughter. We gave her money for graduation last year. She gave most of it to her boyfriend's parents for a car. They have been jerking her around almost a year over this vehicle. We could have went somewhere else. They even quit talking to their son for months over this car. I would never chose money over my kids. They stole from her and I am sick of it. Someone even stole from her purse when they visited! I told her not to count on them. Just accept the money as a loss and learn from it. Maybe she can save up enough to put a payment on a decent car. She doesn't make much and can't get another job until she has a car.
I think I will go watch the race and finish working on my Annie doll for a swap. She is naked and has no hair! lol

My Favorite Things Swap 3

Time for another Favorite Things Swap. I joined the last one and it was alot of fun. I would tell you alot more but this keyboard is driving me crazy! lol Click the button above to check it out!

Rainy Wednesday

It has been a rainy week.The kids have had a break from practice. They have been home for Spring Break. Fun!(sarcasm) This keyboard is driving me crazy. The cats knocked it down and now the space bar doesn't want to work. Just letting you know we are still alive and doing ok!

Swap Updates

Sorry I am late on swaps that were due to go out on the 1st. I am finishing those up and will be mailing them Tuesday. I have had a really hard, stressful week and I couldn't bring myself to even turn on my sewing machine. But I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I am usually on time. Please forgive my lateness. I hope you enjoy your goodies when you receive them.

Easter Egg Hunt!

Time for something cheery. Viv Out On a Whim hosted a easter egg swap. Everyone made two eggs and sent them to her. She sent back two eggs. Today we get to visit blogs to see who the eggs belong to! What a fun idea. Here are the eggs I sent. Then below that are the eggs I received. I can't wait to see all the pretty eggs.

Can you find these eggs below?

Here are the eggs I received.

Update: I found the yellow one came from The Faerie Wysperer. So pretty!

A Parent's Nightmare

I am in shock as I write this. A 14 year old family friend was shot yesterday in the head by a friend playing with a gun. We have known this boy since he was a baby. His dad was my nineteen year old's daughter's t-ball coach. You always hear of this happening, but to someone you know. He is brain dead and the parents have to make the hardest decision of their life. I can't even imagine what they are going through.
My youngest is 9 and into everything, I can totally see him messing with something like that. No matter how many times you tell them to leave something alone, they do it anyway! He just got caught setting stuff on fire last week, when he knows not to do it.
I just pray for his family to make it through this together.

Where has the time gone??

I can't believe it is already Wednesday! We have been so busy with ball season. I spend my days cleaning and crafting. Then it is ball practices. Tonight I finally got a break. Hubby is there with our youngest. It is nice to have a break, maybe I can finish up some things I started. I made a cupcake pincushion yesterday for the first time. I am awful about paying attention to directions, so I made up my own way. lol It turned out pretty good, except for the burnt fingers from the glue gun.
