Spring!

Progress on Earthdancer.
I finished the corner, put the feather she is holding - I have to rip out. I guess I don't know how to count. LOL!
Peanut Butter Cookies
Peanut Butter Cookies-1/2 C butter, soften & 1/2 C peanut butter. Cream together. 1/2 C sugar, 1/2 C brown sugar. Add sugars and 1 egg well beaten. 1 1/4 C flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp soda, 1/4 tsp salt. Mix well. Form balls, place on cookie sheet. Mash balls with fork that has flour on it. Bake at 375 for about 8 mins.

Glazed Fruit Bowl
This is recipe is great for church, family, pot luck gatherings. Or sometimes I freeze small portions in the freezer and refrigerate what I think will last a few days.

Glazed Fruit Bowl

2 cans (20 oz) unsweetened pineapple chucks

2 pkg (3 oz) cook & serve vanilla pudding mix

2 1/2 C orange juice

1 small cantaloupe, cubed

1 Honeydew, cubed

2 C fresh strawberries, halved

2 C fresh blueberries

2 C seedless grapes

2 med. bananas, sliced

Drain pineapple, reserving 1 C juice; set aside.

In saucepan, combine pudding mix, pineapple juice & orange juice.

Cook & stir over med heat, until mixture boils & thickens.

Remove from heat; cool.

In very large bowl, combine pineapple, melons, berries, grapes & bananas.

Drizzle with pudding mixture.

Refrigerate until serving.

It doesn't have honeydew in it, because the honeydew they had at the store, wasn't ripe. I had to make two trips to get a good cantaloupe. Bob bought the first one, when he brought it home I asked him if he knew how to pick out a ripe cantaloupe. He said nope. So, I went and bought a ripe one and had him smell it. LOL!

My Mom brought over some material, a few weeks ago and asked me to make her some pillow shames.
Dara and I have two baby showers to go to today, so we are splitting up she will be attending one and I will go to the other. I made the baby blankets for the showers and one for an on-line friend.

Bubbles (Dylan's cat) had to give his seal of approval.
Kayden is 10 months old today!
Any time I sing "Lean on me" the song that is playing. Kayden will sing (noise) with me. It is too cute. There are a lot of other songs I sing to him, but this is the only song he sings with me.
This picture was taken earlier this week. The little rocker he is standing behind is mine. My Dad brought it home when I was close to Kayden's age.

Kayden & Cooper playing the sock game.
Other things going on last week...
Spring is here and we have had a few good days of really nice weather. I raked the whole yard! We even cooked out on the grill last night.
Trying to find a babysitter for Kayden. We have found a young college girl that use to nanny in Michigan, until she moved here. She has come over three times so far. I haven't left her alone with Kayden yet. Kayden is use to having me or Dara around him all the time, (mostly me). So, I want Kayden and Gracie to get to know each other before I leave them alone. So, far they are getting along really good. Except for when he gets tired, then he just wants me. But he does that when Dara and Brandon are around too.
Cooper barfed on the love set that is in the video, as you can see it wasn't in good shape to start with, but I tried cleaning it 3 times and the smell wouldn't come out. So it is waiting to be picked up by the waste department.
I got my 4 workouts in last week and I have a lot more energy this week, could be alot to do with the weather.
Kids are on spring break this week and the work schedule is starting to take shape. Here is a video tour of the town I live in.
If anyone has any good salad recipes, please send them to me.

a few things

I received a wonderful package from Mylene.
Thank you so much for the card, chocolates and the ornament.
I love the fuzzy cording you used on the ornament.
Finished another fall pillow, just in time to put away and get out the Christmas decorations. LOL!
I love beading the tiny ornaments.
Finished a few this week, but this is my favorite.
Silver bulb, purple iris beads with dark white gold 22K beads.

Also did a few larger ornaments.
Red bulb with silver lined gold beads and silver lined red accent beads.

This one is for Dylan.
Red bulb, silver lined green accent beads with bright gold 22kt. beads and dark white gold 22kt. beads.

Thanksgiving was very nice and to my surprise Dave talked to Bob.

Had a nice time at my sister's also.

I gave them the ornaments I made for them for Christmas and they all seamed to love them.

My sisters are dressing up as witches for Christmas and they told me I needed a witch outfit. So I have been busy trying to put one together. It was hard to find anything with all the Halloween stuff out of the stores. I tried on-line, but didn't like it or was way to much. Found a dress at Wal-Mart, then went to the craft section at Wal-Mart and bought some beaded fringe and other things to put on the outfit. Went to JoAnn's and bought some fabric paint and they had a few Halloween material left so I bought two different prints. Found a pair of boot slippers at K-Mart. I'll post pictures when the outfit is done.

Another Week

My sewing machine has been fixed!!! I was so happy to get it back, I finished my fall pillow the same day.

My first beaded scissor fob.
Learned a new way to bead Christmas bulbs. I think I like it, will have to try to make more this next week.

Finished several more Christmas bulbs.


And the beads I ordered came in! Hope to get more beading time this next week.



This video was taken last Thursday. Love the giggles!!!
