Wild n Crazy Valentine Bunch

Well girls seems like I haven't been posting as much.Just normal every day life keeping me busy..Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day.Hubby bought me a dozen roses and Dove Chocolate...The carnation was from my mom.

I'm not much of a flower girl.I like to grow them but the cost especially at Valentines drives me crazy.So many wonderful prims I could buy with it LoL.But I know it's his way of trying to say I Love You so I love them..smile...We had the wild bunch for movie night...Oh what mischief the 3 of them can get into....

My Favorite people in the whole world! We colored paper lunch bags and made special popcorn with all kinds of yummy mix ins...The girls got to add what the wanted from gummy worms to snowcaps. Yummy munchie food for our movie time....

Hannah in hearts for Valentines...

Brianna thinking "Oh No! Not the camera again"

After everyone settled down we snuggled on the couch..munched..and watched a movie..Can't say I could have had a better Valentines....The next few days I'll be cleaning up my Valentines and bringing spring and Easter down.I'll be busy as usual with dad plus I have a small job outside the house I have to do.Occasionally I help hubby with his flips and remodels, so I have to clean and detail a house so it's showable by the end of the week.Plus I have some orders to finish and some swap goodies to work on.Hope you all are having a great week.Warm Blessings!~Amy

Hooked Rugs Girls and Snow

Hi Ladies! Hope you all are having a great week.Me? Busy as usual..So much so that I took the dogs to the vet on the wrong day.Lucky for me everyone cancelled with the snow and they were able to take me...smile..I love hooked Rugs and someday hope to hook my own but will be trying the punch needle first.Thought I'd share my collection with you...

This one I wish I hadn't used on the floor....

This one was a gift from sweet Margie made special just for me....

Another wonderful mat from Lauren (Rugs and Pugs) ...

Well we had steady snow all day yesterday didn't amount to much but it was lovely watching it all day...Maybe more for Saturday...

Me,Hubby and the girls went out to the pizza buffet last night.The girls both won happy feet stuffies.The pizza was hot and fresh too..The girls are getting so big! It's hard to believe they were only 2 lbs just a few short years ago.Hannah's Cerebral Palsy is started to be a little more evident as she is having some trouble with school.Brianna is excelling in everything.I had to laugh because they learned this Too sexy song and sing it.Hannah is saving for the CD but Mamaw told her it's inappropriate (her new favorite word) she is so cute when she says it....Hannah Honey Bunch....

Brianna on the run.She will not stand still or pose for pictures anymore..Love her brattiness so much like her Auntie when I was little...

I've had alot of beeswax and candle orders so that's been keeping me busy,plus dad's running and appointments.He was able to set up auction last Saturday so he was happy to get out of the house and work a little.It wore him out but it was good for him to be around his old crew and doing what he loves.It's blood count is good.Things are starting to look better but I know better with Cancer than to get to excited.Day by Day..Wanted to say Hi! to all my new followers as well.So thankful to have you and hope you enjoy my simple little life..smile..Warm Blessings!~Amy

Super Sunday

Good Sunday Friends! I don't get much into football but do love the food and commercials...I have cocktail smokies in the crockpot,a coconut cream cake and hubby is making chili so I'm covered if someone "drops" by...I plan to go to grandma's old farmhouse for Sunday Lunch/Dinner and to visit awhile..Yesterday was just a lazy day...

We got some surprise light snow.There is still a coating on the ground and a little snow supposed to fall today..Made my heart joyful being cozy at home with the snow lightly falling..I did some sewing (not my favorite thing) Did some make ~ do Bunnies but they are for swap gifts so I can't show them.They turned out cute but I think Mrs Granny Trace lied she told me sewing makes you not crave cookies..smile..Well I had a cookie and 2 dove dark chocolate cherry hearts.Granted it takes me forever to sew.I can sew just don't enjoy it....Friday Hubby got his tooth pulled but our regular dentist had the flu and since we are rural there was no other places that could take him so we had to drive 1 1/2 hours one way to go to the oral surgeon..The GPS took us down alot of wonderful back country roads.I didn't bring my camera but I know in reality hubby would not have accommodated the pull overs for pics anyway.He was in so much pain...

One ramshackle old farm had a barn falling down next to the road I could see it was stacked full with old galvanized wash tubs, wood buckets,tin feed signs  pitter patter goes my picker heart if I can ever find that house again(yes we were very back road) I'll surely knock and ask what they are doing with that stuff.Then we drove past a antique barn and they actually had fleamarket vendors set up outside it about killed me not being able to stop.(Yes I know it was cold but there was  junk  treasure sitting on those tables) There were 2 big antique shops one in a renovated barn.I did get hubby to promise to take me on a day trip back there soon.(Although we will be broke for awhile LoL) The dentist was $400 not including 3 prescriptions and gas...He's still in pain but feeling better we are both people who try to tolerate pain as we don't like pills....On another note I remember doing punch needle when I was young and would like to learn again.Do any of you know of any vendors online that sell prim kits for beginners? I want the cloth already printed,the threads/floss and needle in one pack.I do have a small hoop already that came with a rug hooking kit.I want it easy to learn...Well girls hope you have a wonderful and blessed Sunday!~Amy

Saturday Find Rearranging and Prayer Answered

This week has flown by alot of good and bad this week but such is life.Saturday I went on my adventure...I found nothing but Hubby found this....

He liked the handle on it and the price was right it fits in nicely with his collection (it's the third one in)

We decided to also head to the city because this one store was having blow out TV deals and hubby has waited 4 years to buy a TV they had them really cheap at this store and We've had a 52 inch projection TV so we are selling that.Anyhow we missed the exit and ended up in the city.Hubby does not do well when lost,me not a big deal.(especially since I have GPS) He tells me to stop staring at people,well really I wasn't I was looking at the houses which had lovely details but alot were left to dilapidate and yes I might have looked at the man riding his bike drinking a 40 oz beer.Just me I like to look.For me I thought new things to look at.I also asked him to stop at one place and he said don't you watch the news? He said what street are we on? I told him and he said there were just 2 shootings last night on this street.Well my hubby is a big sturdy guy but he was right he definitely didn't fit in with his camo hat,hunting shirt and country boy style..LoL.. So we did find the place  and hubby bought his TV which lead to me having to rearrange the whole living room.What I haven't figured out was the projection TV was much bigger and had a case built around it so I could display things.Well the smaller TV set the room off so I had to rearrange everything....Moved the large crock and box here.Also changed out the crocks under the spinning wheel...

So he comes home from work and see's everything stacked in the middle of the living room..I'm not good with change so it takes me awhile to decided exactly how I want things.Once I got things displayed I don't change often like alot of you except the seasonal areas.Anyhow he says You are not getting rid of all that it's your good stuff.LoL..Glad he realizes..smile..I explain that I'm just rearranging which he totally didn't get since the new TV is half the space as the old....Had to move the dough riser it was on the other side of the room....

See the TV peeking out..

This old shelf is were the TV sits on now.I'm still working on the displays in there..The other problem was the horse.I've always displayed him with the rocker off.Well hubby decided about 2 weeks ago to put the rocker on.I appreciate that he notices and takes interest in things I love so when he does things I try not to be negative but the rocker takes up alot of room so it took some finagling to.(is that a real word?)

So the pitch fork,horse,firkin stack and jug got moved to this side of the room.Ignore the tape measure it's not part of my decor just needed it to help figure space..smile...

So now the house is back together...Wanted to update you on dad the prayers must have worked the new lump is not a tumor they said it is a side effect from the chemo.Thank goodness! Hubby's friend was in a bad accident this week he is going to live but will probably be in the hospital 6 months sad as he has a baby due this week..Hubby also had a tooth break so today we are trying to get him into the oral surgeon he is in so much pain.I'm not looking forward to the cost as we do not have insurance.Always something but I will say in general I am Blessed.Some days you just gotta look a little harder.Yesterday was 60 degrees Today 40's just crazy weather this year.My flowers are popping up then it gets cold and they wilt.I'm hoping the Ground hog predicts 6 more weeks.I want at least one good snow.Yep I'm one of those that enjoys winter.It's my nesting instinct..Oh and for everyone in the swap your partners were sent.Any questions just email me..Well girls I've gabbed long enough so enjoy your day! Warm Blessings!~Amy
