IT'S A BOY!

Yep my grandbaby is a boy, we found out on Monday. We all had a feeling it was a boy so it was not a suprise. He ways a little over a half a pound and looks just like me, lol ok well maybe not but he looked like he wants to look like me. All is good with mama and baby and her due date is still April 12,2010, his name is going to be Bryce Derrick, she has had that name picked since the day she found out she was expecting so it stuck and nothing sounds good except that name.

I haven't decided what I want him to call me yet but I do spend time at night right before I fall asleep thinking about what he should call me, lol. So if any of you have grandkids I would love to know what your name is to them.

Name for my "some day" online shop and a question

Hi gals, well as some of you remember a while back I talked about doing etsy or artfire or something to sell some of my handmade goodies, well now that my sewing room is just about finished I am thinking in that direction again.
I have come up with a name that I like and sounds kinda cute but thought I would ask for your opinion. Drum roll.........Darling Doodlebug!
Catchy? Silly? Rediculas? Foolish? Cute? or trash it and start again? Feed back please.

Now for another huge question. How do you put pictures or a picture with your blog title? I see so many of your blogs with cute photos and doodles and such behind or to the side of your blog name and mine is just so plain and BORING! But I cannot seem to figure out how to do it. Please HELP!

Weekend is now coming to an end and hubby and I got lots of things completed this week but still have lots on our list, yes list, oh did I not mention that to you. Well the other night I decided we needed a "to do" list and boy did we make one, but it proved to be very helpful because we would go to our list chose something that we could accomplish and finish and we would do it and mark it off, marking it off alone felt so good helped us see that the list is doable and should have been made a long time ago. It will take us quite a while to finish it and I am sure we will be adding to it as we go along but atleast now we have a "plan" and can see light at the end of the tunnel just by marking one thing off at a time. Anywho, food for thought.

I will be waiting for your info on the blog pic and your comments on my shop name.
See ya Monday.
Hugs,
Kathy

Got some stuff to share with pictures.

Hi all, as usual I have not stayed up with my blogging but, I have been reading a ton of blogs and have begin to follow a ton more that I have found and that are so awesome have added some of their buttons to my blog so stop by and check them out.

We have been very busy around here. Been doing alot of things that have been just sitting on the back burner in desperate need of our attention one being my sewing room. I am almost done with it actually should have it painted and completed by this weekend and I will post some pics of my completed getaway. lol

Have lots of pics to share, finally.

Really need to pull out my good camera but my blackberry has done its job.

Our youngest had a busy week right before Halloween, sock day, crazy hair day, crazy hat day and blue and white day which is always on Fridays to represent and support our football team, "GO WILDCATS".

Crazy Hair day......

Crazy Hat day.......

Blue n white day "GO WILDCATS"

I made her tutu n her mum for blue n white day which was also Homecoming, I also made my 11 yr old daughters mum but she got away before I could take a pic and she brought it home looking not quite like it did when it left so chalked that one up to "darn"

Bry and I also made some Halloween cookies on Halloween day, I know how dumb to make a ton of sugar cookies with homemade frosting right before going trick or treating, well it was fun and daddy and I loved them, ALOT. :)

I also made her Halloween costume that day, minus the wings, lol. Made the tutu and spray painted her hair PINK, it was cool outside and I knew she could'nt wear a jacket with those wings(which by the way I got slapped in the face with atleast a hundred times that night) so I found her Barbie sweatshirt and told her she could go as the Barbie fairy which worked perfectly since she had just watched a Barbie fairy movie. You go Mom! We met up with her oldest sister and her husband and loaded them all onto the back of our Ford and went trick or treating. I drove while dad did the door to door, she is a daddy's girl so it was not happening any other way.

Isnt she just the prettiest Barbie fairy you have ever layed eyes on, we think so.

Well I did it, I finally posted with pics, Yeah Me!

Hope all of you are doing great and enjoying fall as much as I am. I will post pics of my creative space in a couple of days, I am so excited.

Hugs,

Kathy

Hi Bloggers

Hi everyone, yes I know it has been awhile since my last blog but omg so much has been going on around here that I don't know if I am coming or going anymore. Lots of changes in our lives almost every day it seems like.

I have done zero sewing or crafing of any kind. I have promised myself that I am going to work on my sewing room this week and get it organized and ready for some creativeness.

I am so disappointed in myself this year I have not done anything I had planned on doing in 2009, one thing that I was gonna do was lots of sewing and crafting to open my very own online shop, well that hasn't happened another plan was to have as much as I could made for the Arts and Crafts show that comes to our town every November and is awesome! Last year I enjoyed every both and had decided that I was going to rent my own this year and sell sell sell. NOT! It stinks because people come from all over to this event and the vendors all do very well and get lots of sells and publicity which is just what I need. Oh well to late now, guess I will try again for next year :(

I have oh so many pics to post and I promise you all I will do my best to get some posted on my blog this week. What is a blog without pics, right?

I have been reading some really good books lately although life has been hecktic I love lying in bed at night when the house is all alseep and enjoying a good book, makes for a great nights sleep. I love Nicholas Sparks as most of you may already know and I am now a huge fan of Jude Deveraux, I also like Danielle Steel and Debbie MaComber to list a few.

Well folks I off to read and hopefully get a good nights rest things are really bad around here right now, long story but please pray pray pray for us we need it terribly.

Hugs to all!

Hi I'm back!

Oh my it has been awhile since my last blog, things have been so crazy around here that I barely have time to think,lol!

Well my ds is home with us again things did not work out for him with his bio father. The city he moved to is way to big for a small town boy and has too much problems to go with it. So he is home with us and we are doing some serious training and threatening with him. He was missed but he knows that he has no room for error.

I am still doing tons of organizing and painting and re arranging thus the reason for my lack of sewing which I am missing dearly but, things are getting done around here and eventually I will have a well organized home and sewing will be all I have left to do and when that day comes I have a dozen sewing projects in mind.

I will take some pics of my newly painted and organized spaces as they get completed. Miss you all keep praying for us and stay in touch. Hugs :)

And the cleaning continues oh and a marriage begins

Quick correction, some of you may not be able to find flylady at .org so try www.flylady.net a blogger pointed this out to me so thought I would correct that. Thanks!

I am still cleaning up a storm and am so happy with the outcome. It feels so good to have things organized and tidy. It is really good for the soul and the attitude, lol.
I have been working on organizing and purging something everyday and it is really paying off I woke up this morning to a tidy kitchen and living room so all I have to do is make my bed and tidy my room then I can be onto the laundry room, ugh........

Now about the marriage I mentioned in my header. My daughter is now a married women. They were married by the Justice of the Peace on Monday. We are going to have a wedding for them still but not sure of the date so atleast they are legal now and can start their new lives. They have their own home now and are working hard to make it their own so keep them in your prayers cause at their age they are going to need all the prayer they can get.

Off to a funeral a dear elderly lady at our church passed away on Saturday. She will be missed but we all know she is home with the Lord and her husband.

Saturday organizing

Well I spent today cleaning and organizing my kitchen cabnets and although I am bushed I am also very delighted to have them in order again, funny how things can get so out of whack in no time.
I thought I would share with you an awesome website that is great for getting your house in order. This lady has taught me and is still teaching me how to keep all my home clean and tidy just by following a routine and doing something everyday. Please visit this web site and sign up for her emails I promise if you give it a chance you will love it. www.flylady.org share your thoughts with me when you have a look and if any of you are already flying I would love to hear any of your testimonies.

Loving my organized kitchen. Now I have the rest of the house to do....ugh...... :p
