Sunday fun

Here are 2 of the dotees i created last night. I just have so much fun making these. I hope someone will trade me someday! It's fun to see others work.

I'm a little down today. My darn printer ran out of ink, my car(Geo Metro) died for good(i think) and I still haven't gotten my face stamper from Hobby Lobby! I went to see about the stamper and they didn't know what i was talking about! I told them one of their help was supposed to order one for me! Anyhow, i guess i'll wait and have to order/find something online! I did get my little face mold for clay. No clay yet but soon i hope! I missed my chance at a yard sale! She had lots on sale for 50cents each but some other lady beat me to it and wouldn't let me look! =( Darn. I know eventually i will get the things i need but not soon. I have to be patient. =-) I did get some neat papers for 10cents each, oh, and some buttons and material. I got a huge bag for $1.00. The lady knew me as she lives up the street so she was kind to me. Last year she gave me a whole sack of nice socks as she was changing to all white. I'm still wearing them. We found each other on Freecycle. It's a great place to share things you don't want with someone in your area who might need them. I got a like new stroller and baby carseat for my great granddaughter.

Today i made lasagna and garlic bread. Here is the recipe for the Lasagna, it came from Hy-Vee Test Kitchens

Thanks for coming to see my blog. I hope you'll try the recipe. It's good! Add some garlic bread and maybe a small salad...Yummy! Blessings....

Nice Surprise!

I wanted to share the nice surprise i got in the mail! Mattie(poketypatch) sent me the cutest easter bunny dotee along with so many other nice things! Thank you Mattie! I wanted everyone to see this bunny. Cute,cute,cute! I really love making the dotees more than the ATCs. I seem to be better at sewing. =0)

I went to my granddaughters to see Haley today. She is just so cute. I love being a new great-grandma! I tried to make an ATC to commemerate the birth but just couldn't seem to get it right. I'll try again later. =)

It's been really nice out today.I went out and sat on the picnic table and watched the birds and squirrels...i put out some bread. While sitting there a bunny came up and ate! Why didn't i take my camera? LOL. It sat there for quite awhile so i stayed still. It was just so calming to be out in the fresh air. I hope you all have a wonderful day too! HUGS

Lazy day?

Today i'm going to try and straighten up some of my craft things. I'm getting so i can't find a thing! LOL. Normal for a crafter? Thought i'd come in and show a couple more dotee dolls i made yesterday. What do you think? They are made from things sent to me in a swap and i wanted to show what i made. =) There are two. They are for swap. =)

Today i'm having a little trouble being grandma. My oldest (21 in April) granddaughter is going to move out of her dads home into her boyfriends friends trailer. I'm not real happy about this as she is due in April and i think she should wait until the baby is born to move. It's not my decision tho. I'm afraid she'll do it then he will not be nice with no one watching. If she leaves her dads home he will not let her come back. What do you think? Should i just forget it? After all, she is grown up she says. I've been up all night worrying about it. If i knew more about him i guess it wouldn't be so bad.

Well i guess i'd better get to that room! Need to change the bed too while i'm at it. LOL. I wish only the best for you all. Thanks for being here. I'll be having a dotee to give away in April for some lucky person. I'll let you know more soon. HUGS

A day in the life of Sunshine

Bunny Dotee

3-18-09

Here i am again. I have been sick with bronchitis for over a week and then dear hubby got it! Taking care of him has been a job to say the least. =) You know how men can be! LOL. He went back to work last night, poor thing. He could have used a couple more days but he made it. He's in sleeping now so i thought i'd give this another try.

The photos are of a dotee i just made for 2 swap on Swap-bot. I quite like them. =) I hope my partners will like them too. I have to make a few more so this won't be real long. Maybe, LOL.

Yesterday it was in the high 60s here! It was so beautiful! I went down by the river and fed the white seagulls some tiny pieces of bread. They loved it and i loved watching them soar down to get it. I call the river "my ocean" as that's all i have for an ocean...just dirty, muddy water. I'd love to have somewhere to go where it's clean and i could pick up pretty shells and maybe some of those beautiful seaglass hearts i've seen online. The blues and greens of those are much more appealing than our mud colored. I must say tho that i did find a tiny piece of a geode down there. It is gorgeous. Maybe i will get a photo of it so you can see. I'm so very glad to see spring on the way!

I have been trying to make me a journal to put into my purse but just can't get what i want! I hate wasting my supplies. I don't have that many! LOL. I found a couple on etsy and was even willing to pay the money to buy it but they only take Paypal or charge or POSTAL money orders! Bah! I don't do credit....ever! I don't get postal money orders because of the expense. I only pay 25cents for my money order and have never had anyone couldn't cash them. I guess it's not only my loss but the sellers too! I found a really nice yellow leather cover with handmade papers too. Oh well, enough on that...i'll just keep trying. =)

I'm rather happy today as hubby says we should be able to go to Ohio for a couple of days to see our friends and then onto the Smokie Mountains! I so love those mountains! If we could figure out how, we'd live there. We used to go every year, in fact we got married there. =) We haven't gotten to go back for about 5 or 6 years. It's been hard for us like it has for everyone else. If we get to go i will take LOTS of photos. Just pray nothing happens to stop us from going! Our friend Lonnie will meet us in Pigeon Forge. He's the one who lost his wife in June...my best friend. I can't wait to see him and the pups. I miss them more than anyone knows! It's not so much fun without your friend.

Gotta run! Work to do. You all have the "Best Day Ever!" as spongebob would say. HUGS, Judy
