Finally!!

Finally!!!

This little do hickey is why I can now share really good photos with you. It is called a card reader. It was a bit on the pricey side but well worth it.

Now like I said yesterday, I was heading to the fabric store. JoAnne's had a wonderful sale that I wasn't even aware of when I walked into the store. They have certain Simplicity patterns on for 5 for $5 limit of 10. Well, you know I scoured the book to find 10. And here they are!

Some stuff for the monsters, some undergarments, some bags and of course more aprons! Oh, and a dress pattern for me for the summer. I just love summer dresses!

Then I went to the fabric section. I looked through the whole section and found just 3 that I liked for aprons. Then I found the Debbie Mum section. All of her pattern material is 50% off. I was like a kid in a candy store! I got so many the cutter at the counter was not very happy to deal with me!

And of course I bought another one of those beginner bags to make.


Well, I need to start ironing and cutting out patterns.

Out with the Old

No I'm getting rid of Grim.... LOL! I got rid of my old template for something new and different! I don't know yet if I like this lay out or not. I will keep it for a while and see if it grows on me. I had the other one up for so long that it just became rutty.

One of the monsters got Wii Fit Plus for Christmas. Last night I got on there and did all 15 new activities... Well, needless to say I can barely move today! I know my own fault. But oh, what fun it was. I love all of the new games. I really like the golf putting thing. I am really good at it even though I don't golf in real life.

I have chores that really need to be done. My room really needs to be cleaned before the new year. The rest of the house has been kept on. But the bedrooms, well, lets just say I am thankful that there are doors! I don't really mind cleaning my room, because I can sit for most of it. I just HATE folding clothes and putting them away. And since my room is the room for the clean clothes to come to, it tends to get shoved everywhere. Honestly, we aren't slobs, or even lazy, we are just un-properly motivated.

I have pictures of things from the holidays. They are on the camera and Grim hasn't had time to download them for me. But once he does I will get them on here for show!

I have the dehydrator going. In it there is mushrooms, tomatoes, green peppers, green onions, and cucumbers! And I also got some of the priority boxes from the postal service... Getting excited to start working on Etsy!

Oh, I almost forgot. I was chosen as an alternate winner! I am going to be the recipient of a copy of Magus of Stonewylde's book by Kit Berry. I can't wait to read it!!!

Gotta Run,

Pictures 1 of 2

As promised here are some pictures that I took.

These houses are right next to one another and compete for who can put the most up in the yard.




Next are only a couple of pictures of the Museum. There were a lot of people and I didn't want them in my pictures to ruin them... LOL!



This is the mantle of the fireplace in the Dining room! Love it!!!



Here is a picture of my boy little boy Princess. I just had to get him this costume!


Doesn't he just look like the cutest chicken..... I thought he was going to bite me... LOL!

And here is a picture of some of the green peppers from the farm market yesterday!

Picture Post 2 of 2

Here are some of the decorations that I finally got around to putting up!


This is the mirror that I painted black and now sits on the coffin. My living room table.


This is the little witch that sits out all year long on the shelf. Watching over and protecting.


I love this candle holder!

Monday Bread's

I just want to drop you all a quick note and share the recipes and pictures of the pumpkin nut bread and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins I made yesterday.

Here is the bread... Yummmy warm with butter!

Here are the muffins. Now I used applesauce in place of the oil and a bit more pumpkin then the recipe called for. I just didn't want to throw it out. They are moist inside but because I added more liquid the cooking time was longer and the muffin at the liner was dry. My own fault.

Today I have a meeting. But then once I get home I have to make bread for the week and also all of the waffles seemed to disappear. So now I have to make more of them. LOL!

Oh, I almost forgot. Here are the pretzels I made the other day. The recipe made 9 but this was all that was left by the time I could get a picture.

I'll be back later
