day 215: sun 8/5

was looking at the asian sauces & saw this one.  made me laugh, that's what the hubby calls me.  :o)

day 216: mon 8/6

all snuggled up with violet :)

day 217: tues 8/7

a different pic of the fo i showed last friday.  i wasn't for sure which one i wanted to use for the fo pic, this one didn't make the cut but i like the way it shows everything.

day 218: wed 8/8

my fun crochet item, once again.

look at that sweet face!  love her!!!

a proof of jess' real senior pics.  so grown up!!!  :o)

 

day 219: thurs 8/9

thought this was so cute, could probably recreate fairly easy.

day 220: fri 8/10

saw this the other day & it made me laugh.  i know some people that were much happier "shacked up" & were together longer that way.  they got married & then they got divorced.  not for sure what changed but i don't see anything wrong with shacking up.  just my personal opinion though. 

lil princess with her barbie hair.  :o)

day 221: sat 8/11

took this while all the girls were helping out with q's car wash fundraiser.  we even got hopp to participate.  she was a pretty good wheel/rim scrubber.  :)

after the fundraiser we went home & ate & got ready for q's first salon hair cut.  this is not her first hair cut but her first true salon cut.  she thought she was so big.  the lady did a great job & i think it's quite a bit shorter but what matters is that q is ok with it.  she says she can't tell a difference but i sure can.  we cut about 3-4" of dead hair off the bottom. :o)

well, i hope you all had a great week.  

it's official!

my mil (mother in law) called & just asked me if i wanted to play in the bunco for breast cancer.  i told her i would if she would, since they are her work peeps.  :)

so....  that means that i need to do that fundraiser.  so be on the look out for special pink stuff.  :)  if you would like something custom made let me know & i will make it for you.  i guess that also means that i get to go PINK YARN SHOPPING!!!  yay!!!!  :o)  since tonight is cnc (chat 'n craft) night i will do some of this stuff tonight.  :o)

ok, sorry for all the smileys, i'm getting excited now. 

so this is what i'm thinking of making...

some face scrubbies....

coasters....

maybe a corset or two....

dishcloth, with or without a loop....

these are all made by me but photographed so beautifully by my friend christine.  she did such a great job!!!  oh & she said that the face scrubbies are by far her most fave face scrubbies ever!!!  i made a big one on accident & she used it as a washcloth for her twins & she said it was perfect!  :)

barbie hair & a fundraiser

so when i was little i had SUPER straight hair.  i'm talking straight as a board hair!  i hated it, it tangled so badly & would cry EVERYTIME my mom would brush my hair!  well i had a friend named hayley & she had SUPER curly hair!  ohhhhh i dreamed of having curly hair, i wanted hair just like hayley's beautiful curls & apparently she wanted my straight hair.  :)  it reminds me of my lil q, she has super curly hair & wants 'barbie' hair all the time!  she asks me all the time, i have only straightened her hair one time!  it was so pretty & long but she looked so mature!  it was weird, she looked so different.  so last night as i was giving her a shower she asked about 'barbie' hair.  i thought about it & sure why not, i have time right?  it's one of those things she will always remember, just like i remember my mom braiding my hair for me or my nana putting my hair in sponge rollers.  :)  so just because, i straightened her hair last night.  :)

well when she woke up, i guess she got sweaty in the middle of the night & the underside & parts of the top were curly again.  i only blow-dried her hair & touched it up with a straightener on low temp last night.  so i touched it up & put a little clip on the top to keep it out of her eyes this morning.  she is so proud of her 'barbie' hair but i miss the curly headed girl, luckily when i wash it, it will curl right back up.  :)

i think she was watching hopp to make sure she didn't get in the shot!  just q & the barbie hair allowed :)
a real supermodel pose!



i think i got her about to blink & she was going to say something.



miss thang



the night before.  look how long it is curls-free.  :)

now, i'm thinking of starting a new blog just for my fundraiser.  i don't have exact dates yet but it's usually the 3rd tuesday or thursday of october, it's going to be for the annual bunco for breast cancer for the vera west women's center here in abilene.  i love playing but i don't get to play every year.  so this year i'm going to put up my wares & do special orders for my ticket & maybe even pay for some lucky player's seats.  :)  if it goes better than i expect i'm going to pay for grand prize tickets.  i'm even going to put all the buyers in a 'hat' & draw a name & if they win they can have $25 worth of anything they want from me.  more info to come & will post a link to my fundraiser blog.  :)

help my friend bring her nephew home!




my blogger friend, betsy with the dainty daisy is having an auction to help bring her nephew home.  i have two items (headband & tam) you can bid on & there are over 40 items to bid on when the time comes, on march 6th through march 12th. 

super cute cicily



beautiful cristal



some of you may know my sister adopted from ethiopia last year & my nephew is gorgeous!  so glad he got a loving family to take care of him.  when he was taken from his grandmother he looked like all those ethiopian children you use to see in the 80s commercials. :(  it was so sad, both parents had passed & grandma couldn't provide what he needed so an orphanage took him awaiting a family to care for him & along came my sister & her family & now he is thriving & growing so much.  here is the blog of their family if you want to check it out.  she doesn't post often but you can see how well he is doing in just the couple of months they have had him.

the giveaway is over but you can still donate items & let everyone know about the auction coming up.  :)

also betsy is having a super cute hat with detachable flowers giveaway just for helping spread the word about the auction.  so get out there & start telling everyone & submit yourself into the contest. :)  it's not too late to donate something you have made if you want to, just contact betsy.

my super-dee-duper cutie nephew mason  :o)
