Quickie

Had a great time in St. Louis, my kids had a great time on the "farm". Ate at a great steak place called Porter's.

Yesterday was my 13th wedding anv. I made the whole grilled steak dinner thing with a GREAT dessert by Nigella Lason called Gooey Chocolate Puddings recipe here YUMMY!!

I have some pics but right now little baby is yelling for me to pick her up NOW!!

Really?

Why at 32 years of age am I still getting zits?!? What the heck!?! I feel like I have a HUGE red flashing sign on my face that reads "I'm trying to be as ugly at I can!"

So besides that I have been crafting my booty off. I have fabric painted t-shirts for my kids and the husband, I made a few pair of earrings for myself and the daughters. I have started to crochet, I guess a babyish blanket. I got a new sewing machine on Saturday as a gift from my awesome mother in law and it is AWESOME!!! My only issue is what to do next.

Last night I had a Rouge Mocha Porter, it was yummy if you like that kind of beer, really dark and coffee/chocolaty. I liked it.

A few fun things that have happened to me in the last 48, baby girl ate 7 oz of formula last night (soy, stinky) started to throw a fit to be picked up. So being that I'm a good mom I walked over to her picked her up and out came all 7oz and I swear some more from somewhere else. Down my shirt in my bra in my pants. It was awesome!! The cat's food was crawling with ants, YUCK! I do not like them so the bug folks had to come today to spay my house. Oldest daughter had stomach issues at about 2:30 am Monday night and that means I had to wash the bath mats, fun. Oh and is there anyone else out there that can't stop staring at the FLDS folks?? Man, they freak me out!! How in the world do those women not pass out from freaking a heat stroke from wearing long sleeved dresses that go to their feet with long underwear under that??? I start to freak out once it hits the 90's here and I can't find a pair of shorts that don't make me look like my backside has it's own zip code.

But on to end on a happy note, I'll be heading to St. Louis soon to visit family and friends. I'm excited about my trip!!

Ummm, now what?

Well now I don't know what to say?? I'll start with things about me and my life. I am a mom to 3 girls, ages 6, 4 and 6mo. I am a happy wife to husband for 13 years now. Before I was mommy I was Admin assistant for the criminal court system here in Memphis. I really liked that job, but mommy is way better, the crimes are not as harsh here in Mommy land. My oldest is in kindergarten in a public school, I know, shame, whatever. My other two stay home with me, all the time, no pre-k, no mothers day out. I know what your thinking, I must be a super mom. I don't know how I do it either. I mean me, ME, teaching my own children, what a chore (insert rolling eyes). My husband works from home and boy is that great, take that how you will. I love love love crafts!!! Seriously people I have not met one that I was like "Hmmm, well that just doesn't suite me". Nope love em all. I like to read and I like my computer.


I have a few really great friends that keep me going day to day, well Saturday to Saturday, that's mommy's night with her friends at the grown up place where little girls can't go. Oh and the beer in this picture was a Rouge HazelNut Brown Nectar, it was yummy. With it I had spinach artichoke dip, peppered salami, smoked Gouda, brie, Gruyere, walnuts and tapenade on toast points, YUM! Split 4 ways, I'm not that hungry.


I started this blog to let anyone out there in Internet land see what I'm up to. All my little crafty things and my cooking projects. All the fun foods I try and cool beer's during mommy hour. Also to share all my funny daily things. I think I have a pretty funny life, come on I have 3 daughters, that's a hoot in it's self!


So lets see, I am working on a "quilt" and I use that term loosely, I don't want to make any serious quilters out there angry. I cut some 6 by 6 squares and am sewing them together. They are fleece squares that are left over remnants of other things I have sewed. I hope to have that done soon. I'm also trying to make my 1st smocked bishop, wow that's scary! I have it cut and the lace on the sleeve. I just don't know if I should serge it or do a french seam?? What to do what to do??? If there are any smockers out there please help me!! I am also working on a shirt for me, ugh!! I wanted something light and airy so I chose Simplicity pattern 2970 and for fabric selection I chose a jersey. What have I done??? I hate that fabric. I took me twice as long to cut that junk than a regular cotton. But once finished I'm sure it will be pretty.


Well phooey!! My crazy computer isn't letting me get to my pictures to post them as of right now. Well other than the beer photo, I guess it's trying to tell me something?? So this post is
