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

Happy September!

Well not much to blog about since I have pretty much spilled my guts in the last two entries. lol
My sister is doing good, still doing her dialysis but is home now and very happy to be in her own surroundings. She is such a trooper, she has to have 5 hours of dialysis every other day and although it totally exhaust her she never complains. Keep praying for her and her girls.

I don't think I shared our "new church" news with all of you. We had been attending the same church for a year now and was feeling God tugging us to make a move in a different direction. You know that feeling you have that your season is over but you are comfortable and being at the same place same time just seems to work for you even though you know inside it is time to move on, well that was us, it was time and after much pouting and sulling we did it. We are now attending a great church that has done wonders to us spiritually. The people are great and God is really moving there. Not that the people weren't great at our other church mind you, it is just different here, what we needed, like a cold drink of water after a long thirst. You know what I mean?

I have yet to get my sewing room organized but plan on working in it this coming week have a ton of stuff to get sewn and lots of projects I am excited to start. I will post pics of my sewing room when I get it photographable.

Hope everyone has a great 3 day weekend. Hugs................

Ok now for the rest of the story........

My son was shipped out to live with his bio father on the 9th of August as you all know, well that was not the end of the story for that week but the beginning. On the 10th I decided to take my 15 yr old daughter for a pregnancy test because she had missed her period and has been dating the same guy for a year now so I decided that she needed to get checked even though we had put her on the birth control shot a few weeks earlier which at the time they did a test and it came back negative but the nurse told us at that time that there was still a chance she could be pregnant and it was just too soon to read on their tests, oh no my daughter was sure she was not and so we went ahead and gave her the shot. Anyway, back to the 10th, my daughter kept reminding me of the previous test and how the nurse had told us that one of the side effects of the shot is to not have a period at all, and that it was not possible for her to be pregnant being on the shot and yada yada, well you know that motherly instinct you get, I had it, and boy was I right. She is pregnant will be 8 weeks on Moday. The test came back very positive and I thought she was going to faint when the nurse gave us the results. Apparently she was only about a week pregnant when she got the shot and that is why is showed up negative. OMG! I AM GONNA BE A GRANDMA! Yep I could have died right there. But I didn't and live has gone on and we are now preparing for a baby. The daddy is wanting to marry her and they are very much in love and yada yada. IDK which way to go. Do I let them marry and take care of this situation on their own, or do I raise another kid, which I had no plans of doing, my youngest just started kindergarten and I finally have my house to my self.
WOW! I am over the shock and after having a huge scare with her a few weeks ago and having to rush her to the doc for cramping and bleeding and getting to see the baby and the little heart beating inside her I have decided that I love her and I love what is happening inside her, I dont like it a bit but I love her and I know we will make it through this, I watched her cry with relief and amazement as the doctor showed us her baby and showed us the heart beating and gave us her due date and that melted my heart in more ways than one.

Please pray for us during this challenging time. So much has been going on with us that I dont know what is up or what is down anymore. All I know is that this is a season that we are going through and though we are being tested I know we will make it threw and will be stronger in the end. My heart is broken in so many pieces because of my sister, my son and now my daughter but I love them all and I will be supportive and caring and understanding as much as I can, I will never stop loving my children although my heart may ache because of them or their actions. I know a new life in this family would be quite a change after all the death we have had in the last few years. So with that please pray for my lil girl, her baby and her baby's daddy that God would join them in the way he sees fit, that all would go well with her pregnancy and delivery. Please pray for strength and understaning for her because she is so young her youth is now gone and she has had to become a women too soon.
Oh yeah and her due date is April 12,2010 and she has decided she is having a girl. lol..........
