so so so so sorry for the lack of posts

i've been so busy at work that i've not had too much time to update here.  please follow me on instagram for up-to-date stuff on your favorite hooker!  :]

as you can see, not much hookin' has been happening.  i'm having pinched nerve problems in my neck which causes severe arm/shoulder/elbow pain so the most i've been doing lately is my nails.  :)  so you will see lots of the littles & some of even the teen & LOTS OF NAILS & polish stuff.

going to have an MRI soon so i will keep you up on what's going on there.  if you have an IG account let me know your name so i can start following you. 

have a great week!

on to another week!

day 278: 10/07 sun

happy happy birthday to my sweet baby hopp!!!  she is 4 now!  time really flies!!!  she was helping me make cupcakes for her daycare.  :)

finally got her to put up 4 the right way.  as you see in the above pic she was struggling, she finally got it.  :)

day 279: 10/08 mon

one of my cupcakes looked like brains!  i saved that one for jason.  :)

even though they are glittery & funky colors, they still kinda creep me out. 

day 280: 10/09 tues


jess driving!  so serious, i love it!  i hope she is always this serious when she drives when i'm not in the car with her!!!  i don't know what it is about this pic but she is gorgeous, maybe it's the hair out of her face, can you see her tat behind her ear?  i can't believe she put it there.  oh well, nothing i can do about it, i'm ok with the tat just not the placement...

  day 281: 10/10 wed

omg, this was at the dr office!  seriously, there is nothing more outdated you could still be using.  ;)

super classy!!!  some guy drives around in abilene with spinners, they looked plastic too, a coon tail from the hitch, & nekid ladies on the mud flaps!!!  what a douche!!!

the second hat, a little different pattern from the pink/green one, i decided i would weave as i would finish a row, much easier!!!  :)

 day 282: 10/11thur
this one is a long one, i took so many pictures!!! it was the most gorgeous outdoor craft show i have ever been to!  if you ever get an invite to the quaint marketplace, here in town, go to it!!! you will not be disappointed!!!!  i'm not going to comment on each one just a few.

GORGEOUS!!!

this was in their backyard!!!  can i just move in please?!?  i will be quiet, promise.  ;)  oh & that's a hot tub on the other side of the swing...

wanted to get a pic of hopp for a super cute birthday idea for her doc mcstuffin's party...

q wanting a pic as well, this was after jump rope practice.  :)

day 283: 10/12 fri

this little critter was taking a stroll on the coffee machine/supply table!!!  at least he was little & not humongo like the one the last time!!!

i made dr badges for the kiddos that came to the party, each had their picture on it.  :)

 day 284: 10/13

finished striped hats with flowers :)  aren't they so cute?!?

the party table with all the decorations

birthday cupcakes!

here is the super cute party idea from the picture i took previously.  i made a huge pic by cutting out different sections in photo shop & pasting them in a word document & then putting her together like a puzzle.  there is a much easier way to do it in paint but didn't find out till just the other day.  oh well, we live & learn right?  we played put the band aid on hopp.  :)  i so love that smile, so toothy!!!

366 days of photos week 40

day 271: 9/30 sun

took q for a walk & we scored big on cans!  she has made a little over $100 in the year that we have been collecting them.  still not for sure what she will buy with her money just yet since she is too big for the barbie car.  :)

 day 272: 10/01 mon

who doesn't need a pair of skel-a-flamingos?  i wish i had snagged up this pair!  they were gone the next time i went to the store.  :(

the big baby getting her flu shot!  do you see that she has 2 different colored socks on?  is this being lazy or are all the kids doing it?

got employee of the month!  got my own parking spot & a certificate to a restaurant along with my name on the plaque.  :)

a hat i was working on, look at all those ends that needed to weaved in!  that's what sucks about changing colors.  :)

 day 275: 10/04 wed

angry bird bandaid!  my shoe was rubbing the back of my foot, that hurts!!

pumpkins brought over from the local pumpkin patch.  the warty one was so abused!  they hated on it because it wasn't the prettiest!  :(  that green one reminds me of a goose.  ;)

birthday shout out!!!  this was jess's 18th bday!!!  yep, that's right my baby girl is of legal age, i can't believe it, where have all the years gone???   made this bow from a secret deodorant ad, got the tutorial from bffmrt, a great way to recycle & it's super easy to do.  on that note, a secret deodorant ad has never looked so good!  ;)

day 256: 9/15 sat

look at this precious baby!!!  his name is baylor & isn't he gorgeous?!?  his mommy is a previous co-worker friend from back in the phone book days.  that hat he is wearing was one of my fo's.  i can't get over how gorgeous he is, tawners makes some beautiful babies.  :o)

it rained & this was on my sidewalk.  i thought it was so pretty!  just a plain old leaf that fell off a tree, what a nice little piece of art.  :)

well that's all for week 37, a couple more weeks to catch up on.  i hope all of you have been doing well, i've missed you all, i haven't even caught up on my fave blogs either.  it's been so hectic!

366 days of photos week 36

ok, i'm earlier in posting this than i thought i would be...
this week we have lots of cuteness, hookin', dnc, & centipedes, OH MY!!!  :o)

day 243: sun 9/2

took hopp to the splash pad on sunday morning with a friend's kiddos & she had a blast.  usually it's a nightmare getting her hair & face wet in the shower but she had no problems with it that morning.  :o)

day 244: mon 9/3

here is the pic of the coaster sets that i'm giving away, go like my fb page to get entered if you haven't already.  :o)  it was the hubby's bday.  he is a true labor day baby.  :)  he is finally as old as i am so he can quit saying i'm old for about 3 mths.  ;o)

day 245: tues 9/4

look how sweet she is!  i can't remember why she was in the front seat but she thought she was going to get to ride up there.  um, i think not little miss.  the back seat it is for you!  :)

q in her bunny foo foo outfit.  it's so cute, it has a little layered tutu skirt with it.

day 246: wed 9/5

took hopp to the dr.  she had a bad cough & it was a stupid sinus infection!  while waiting for her rx at sam's we came across this giganto hedgehog.  omg he is so cute & as big as her!  if they still have it i may go get it for her for her bday coming up.

day 247: thurs 9/6

i had taco casa for lunch & i love it!!!  it tastes like the original taco bell stuff.  tb has really gotten nasty lately, we call it astronaut food.  :)  i love the sauce at casa, it's so good!  i had some sweet tea, they have THE BEST SWEEEEET TEA!!!  now when i say sweet tea, i mean it!  it's so sweet, just like me, oh i mean like i like it.  :o)

was working on some hookin' & watching the dnc.  i know there are lots of you that don't like him but i stand my ground & say I LOVE ME SOME OBAMAS!  he has been so awesome with all the bad criticism!  it's got to be the worst job & he has been a complete gentleman!

day 248: fri 9/7

yep, here it is.  the centipede that was outside our office building.  we are out in b-f-e & we get all kinds of critters.  a scorpion was in the sink one morning & just this last week there was a rattlesnake in master control in the station! 
this was the best pic i could get of him.  i really wanted to put him in perspective of how big these suckers are.  that card is as big as a credit card!  the head is the red part.  they are very poisonous & luckily he was cleaning his antenna & i got a still pic of him.  he was really fast!  scary, gross but oh so interesting & yes he really is shiny.  it looks like one of those plastic shiny bugs but they really do look like they have shiny plastic bodies.

my fo for last week.  it's halfway done, just 44 more to go!

q was reading the diggingest dog to me & hopp before bed. :o)

me & hopp listening to q read to us, we got some crazy hair going on!

my friend maria sent this to me.  jess taking pics on the field at the high school football game.  it's a religion here in west texas & she is on the yearbook so she gets to stand on the sidelines & take pics.  this was before the game while the band was warming up, i think.  she loves it!

day 249: sat 9/8

the first parade for the girls.  i may have taken q when she was really little but this is their first parade to remember.  they loved it!  it's a really big parade for our area.  it was almost 2hrs long!  it kicked off the west texas fair & rodeo & there were lots of great cars, horses, bands & rodeo queens.  i will definitely be taking them to the parades more often, we have several throughout the year.  :o)

one of jess's friends asked me to make her a slouchy & matching scarf.  this is the yarn i picked out.  i really like it.  it's a pinkish red & worked great for my projects.  you should see them tomorrow.  it's first love by yarn bee in passion berry.  it's a nice chunky/bulky yarn.  :o)
