Blur Week Wrap-Up
Jan 12My sweet man has been busy with work so I’ve found myself “on” 24/7 – technically it’s 24/5, but who’s counting? Highlights of this week: I took a shower. Yesterday I made dinner – no, it wasn’t frozen pizza (that was Tuesday night). I was on time to piano lessons. The kids all stayed in class during Awana. Tonight we will be at church before...
Treasure hunt bag tutorial
Jan 05My kiddos love finding things. They are always finding “treasure”. I am always killing my feet on “treasure”. I decided to put together a little treasure hunt game they can take with them. First thing you will need for this project is “treasure” – if you have little ones around the house this will be very easy – took us about 5 minutes! Materials...
Dining table + church pew = big family mealtime
Jan 05We have had a six seat table for the past 10 years. It was a beautiful antique mahogany set. I got it off ebay in SoCal, super score. We used it daily and never took the table pad off… so the chairs and table legs got pretty beat, but the top was still shiny! The time had come to graduate to a larger table, we have 5 kids and like to have company over often. Adam decided he’d like a...
chicken and dumplings – delicious! Slow cooker recipe
Jan 04My girls made a delicious dinner tonight. I’m posting this for myself as much as I am for you – I don’t want to forget the recipe! I took a few pics, but it was at the end of the meal (my camera battery was dead). I decided after about 10 shots chicken and dumplings isn’t a very pretty meal. Now don’t judge a book by it’s cover, this meal is fast and really...
All I can do is pray…
Jan 03James 5:13-16 (NKJV) 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be...
Shark Steam mop (cover) Tutorial
Jan 03No, I’m not going to show you how to make a steam mop – sorry! I will show you how to make a cover. My steam mop only came with 2 covers, and wouldn’t you know they are always dirty. Now hurry, go get your old hand, dish, or gym towels – this is a super simple and fast project! You will need: 1 hand towel 8 inches of hook & loop tape (velcro) needle and thread –...
Happy new year – 2012!!!
Jan 02Here is my big idea for this year: A project a day…ok let’s be realistic, maybe a few a week. I’m gonna shoot for one a day and if I get a few a week I’ll be happy. I’d love to say a tutorial with each project, but with time constraints I make no promises. Here is my birthday/ Christmas combo gift (helping to make this effort so much nicer): Singer Quantum love,...
Zucchini season!
Aug 24Remember my raised garden beds? Well, I actually managed to grow some plants in them. Really, their are vegetable plants growing, even blooming! The problem? Their are no vegetables! rrrrrr. Every time I see a bloom on one of my healthy looking plants instead of growing some delicious vegetable it shrivels up – I don’t know what the problem is. Their are a couple green tomatoes,...
