I am excited….I splurged a bit on myself

Well yes I did  but more on that later…………….

Hope everyone has been doing ok  I know some of you  are getting kids ready to go back to

school trying to get sleep schedules  worked out again after 12 weeks ( more or less) of summer vacation….I know my daughter has been working on the last month already to get

Abby  going to bed  earlier and earlier since Abby starts Kinder garden  next week….

 

Had the whole gang over last nite for Spaghetti dinner with german strawberry cake and peack cobbler for desert.,…

and the peach cobbler

yes if you look close my stove top is spotted with sauce but the sauce was still slowly simmering………

one of the big things I hate about spaghetti sauce is the mess it makes after hours of simmering

on the stove but oh well.they loved it……William and Robert wanted to fight over the strawberry cake each wanted more ( note to self next time make 2)

Other than that the girls keep me busy from Mondays through thursdays… Fridays I just hang

trying to do laundry and clean….or do nothing as the case may be,,,,lol

Haven’t been to enthused or  anything about crocheting or loom knitting either…. to tired most

of the time…Reading my kindle  mainly…..( did I ever tell you I love my Kindle?)

my DIL  got a Nook color last week…………its neat  but if your not into magazine subscriptions then a black and white reader is good….just FYI magazines as ebooks take up tons of room in memory…..

so now for my splurge ……Been hearing about these new looms backed by Martha Stewart…. well took a look online on HSN where they are being sold right now….

Martha Stewart   take a look here…. Now being on facebook I am into some of their crafty groups on there  and some of the peeps got this loom set…..Most have only good things to say about it mainly how versatile it is….drawbacks are the  loom tool breaks easy but to me that’s not such a biggy since I have several from other looms I have….

So I  waited and read and waited  and read reviews and asked questions in the groups

and Friday I bought them….. Can not wait for them to arrive……Maybe once some of this heat

is gone I can get more idea’s on what to make again…….( reminder to self need to scrounge up some pretty yarn )….

Other than that nothing new here…….Hope you all have a good back to school week……….

or a good week if there is no back to school person in your house….

Hugs Birgit

Nothing new here

Well nothing new here to report….Doing a lot of reading on my Kindle….

Did I ever tell you I love my Kindle?? Best thing I ever got except my PC.

Girls are here  4 days a week now since their daddy’s work schedule has changed

to 3rd shift..

Abby will start school this  year…..

Allison is 9 months old and still toothless and almost hair less….LOL

I am trying to stay cool with the heat we have been having…

Other than that  been doing a little loom knitting but not much…

No  OOMMPPPHHH or Mojo whatever you wanna call it…

Hubby is working on  moving the  washer and dryer into the garage so I can

use the small laundry  off the Kitchen  for storage since Kitchen is so small.

I have been following up on my  fave blogs

loads of things been happening both good and bad…

RJ is sewing some cute stuff

Bee Lady is  creating with her Granny Bee circle

Scribe is knitting

Glor  enjoyed some much needed rain

Doris is enjoying her pears 

and so on and so forth

Politics lets not even  mention

One of these days I will post something great …….

in the meantime

Lovely weather we are having….

A wonderful Good Friday morning to all…Its been raining here all

night a slow rain mostly with a little lightning and thunder thrown in

but nothing major..It feels so good this morning.70* right now with more

slow rain…I love this weather………

Had the girls  Tuesday and Wednesday..

Allison is not feeling to well this week..She is teething big time

but it doesn’t keep her off food as you can see for yourself.

HMMMM Rice cereal and applesauce,,,

She wants more….She is 8 months old now.. Crawls everywhere

pulls herself up even takes a couple steps holding on to furniture but  hardly any hair

the poor child……..She is a Happy baby over all……Mostly smiles all the time

Here she is at home with mommy  who was cooking  and guess what happens when

mommy looks down

that’s right she falls asleep sitting in her walker….

Poor tired baby…….

In regards to crafting  haven’t done much.. I had finished the baby blanket but since then nothing,.

Anyhow  hope you all have a Happy TGIF

and weekend of course

Been really busy..

Sorry I haven’t been around the weather is  beautiful

despite a nasty storm last nite  that woke me and Allison up.

I had Allison last nite which was fun and this morning was the first

time she pulled herself up to a standing position. Of course my camera

doesn’t  hold a charge  anymore so I took a pic with my cell

I still need to figure out how to get it to my pc./…lol

My middle grandson who is 11 also spent the nite last nite.

he had fun with Grandpa. playing on the pc and helping  clean the storage

shed in the back yard.

I will be missing in action in the next couple days I have my heart cath tomorrow

and have no clue where they are going to access wether its left leg in which case

I will have problems sitting  up in front of the pc  for a couple days and if its my right arm

oh well never had an access in the arm so no clue there.

hope its my left arm to be honest. Oh well……

Will update as soon as I know…..

Wish me luck  and to all a wonderful week….

Hugs Birgit
