Well today is
HALLOWEEN
When David gets home from work, we will be carving our pumkins, and I will bake the seeds!
Then I think we will take Madeline to the mall for trick or treating.
I have just decided that I am going to make some sugar cookies, and decorate them. I have some new Halloween cookie cutters so I need to use them for the first time, altho one is missing already because somehow Madeline got ahold of it, and I didn't take it away from her, but that is another story.
So I am off to make sugar cookies, hopefully they turn out!!

Another month gone by.........
It has been over a month since my last post, but in my defense I have to say, that our computer was broken for 3 weeks, and we had to get a new hard drive, because our other one crashed. :(
So I spent that time working on some new crafty things, like a few pairs of Christmas hair bows, and some necklaces. I will have to start another post later with those pics in it.
Over the weekend we stayed at the SunTan Terrace Beach Resort, in Nokomis, FL. It is the same place where David and I got married, last December.
George's parents were down visiting from Illinois so they got a couple of rooms for us all to stay the weekend.
Unfortunately we couldn't swim on the beach tho, because there was sooo much seagrass that we would have had to climb over all of it to get to the water, and that idea wasn't very appealing to us.
I was sort of disappointed because I had wanted to search for sharks teeth along the beach. Last time we were there a couple of months ago, I found a ton of them!
But we still had a good time, even if we couldn't get into the water.
Last time we were in Illinois for my mothers birthday we visited George's parents and I had talked to his mom about how my sewing machine didn't work that great. Well, they bought me a brand new Singer Protege sewing machine, which they surprised me with when we arrived, so all weekend I couldn't wait to get home and try it out!! She said she got a real great deal on it, sew she just had to get it for me. It works great, so much better than my old garage sale one!

Hand made Paper out of Dryer Lint
So a few days ago I finally decided that I was gonna try to make some paper out of dryer lint.
I had been wanting to do it forever and had been saving my dryer lint for a long time, I just had never got around to actually using it though.
I have to say that it turned out pretty good for my first try!
You don't actually have to use lint to make it, but you can if you want to.
You also just use scrap paper, like junk mail ripped up into tiny pieces and I used some food coloring in mine to give it more color!
Here are a few pics of my dryer lint paper:

It has been awhile....
Well, It has been quite some time since my last blog posting.
Madeline is a year old now. My family came and went. Then we were off to Montana for a week and had a wonderful time there. It is absolutely beautiful out there.
THen I have just been busy, or I guess preoccupied is a better way to put it..
I have found a couple of new websites that have become addicting!!
THe first one is called Gather, and the other one is called Netwinner. If you want to check them out for a good way to waste some time, you will find links to both of them over to the left under the title Some of my other favorite sites.
I spend way to much time on each of them every day!
I have managed to get a few things done tho when not on these sites.
I will start a new post tho about that!

24 HOURS
till my family is here, that is!
They will arrive tomorrow, and be staying till tuesday July 31 (my 26th bday!)
I am busy, busy cleaning, so the house looks nice when they arrive.
As soon as we drop them off at the airport we are headed to Tampa to spend the rest of the day! Our flight to Montana leaves bright and early at 8am on Wednesday, so rather than have to get up by 4 and have to drive the 1 1/2-2 hr trip first thing in the morning to be there by 6-6:30 we are going to be staying at a hotel up there!
Then we spend a week in Montana and won't be home till Aug 7!
We will be having Maddie's Birthday party with my family on Sunday, then will be in Montana on her actual birthday, which is one week from tomorrow!!! Wow, I don't want to believe that my little girl is going to be one year old already!

pink patch skirt!
This post is gonna be short and sweet! Just had to share my newest completed sewing project!!
I decided to try making something new, and I think it turned out pretty good, for my first try, and not having a pattern or anything!!
It is lined on the inside, then I used elastic at the waist!!
I think I might make a couple of them to take and sell at the craft fair!
Here are some pics of 2 different views of it:
and Maddie modeling it for me :)

sick :(
So David caught some nasty cold from some kid, when he was helping put up a fence last week.
He started getting sick on Sunday some time, and well I was hoping since I rarely get sick, that I would be fine.
Boy was I ever wrong...
I woke up yesterday, which was Davids 26th Birthday, feeling like HELL. Headache, nasty cough, sore throat, stuffy nose, and lots of sneezing too.
My nose is so red and sore today, from blowing it sooo many times yesterday. I feel even worse today, but David is feeling a bit better today, so I am hoping this will pass by the weekend.
I am more concerned about Madeline getting sick tho. I am hoping she doesn't catch this aweful cold. She has been sneezing, and a few coughs here and there between today and yesterday, so I am starting to worry, that she may in fact come down with it. Being breastfed should help her fight this off tho, so I am hoping that her few coughs and sneezes will be all she gets of this.
On a happier note, ONLY 8 days till my family (except for my father) is here to visit!!! And my brother who recently moved out to Tucson will even be here!! Up till last week, he was not going to be able to come. They will all be here from the 27-31 (my birthday!) Then the following day (Aug 1) we will be headed off to Montana to visit!!!
That also means tho, that in only 15 days my sweet little girl will be 1 year old!!! I can hardly believe how this past year has flown by!!
