busy is good right?

I love the camera I got that can capture these action shots!! I will be frantically soon putting the end touches on the basketball scrap book....
I never knew how many faces she can pose in a game LOL so serious looking! #34 in black
Contemplating!! The team came out now with two more wins, we are tied with three other teams for second place in our conference, Tomorrow night we travel south to Montevideo so I hope we can beat them!!
I have been busy in between basketball, and work doing some crafting.......created some collage felt pins
buttons and lace and beads

Then I took buttons and silk flowers and began creating more pins,
This one is my favorite....
They are super fast and easy to do.....not sure if I will give them as gifts or stick them in etsy
either way I am sure they will be bound to find a good home!


The photos below are for someone to peek at that is interested in looking at the John Deere fabric that I listed in Etsy,...will be taken down soon as I know she peeked at it....









Thanks for stopping by and hope all of you have a great week!!

Getting things done!

Well I FINALLY got caught up on that new addition hubby worked so hard on...I for the life of myself could not find just the RIGHT furniture.....or the RIGHT rug and about drove all of the family nuts to get this room completed but here it is for now any how :)
Looking into the room from the bay window
rug and floor....the floor is actually a wood laminate
Chancer loves to sit out there when i am working on my projects....I LOVE those windows and now I must decide on window coverings and can not seem to come to an agreement with hubby LOL
I got a new toy!! Hubby bought me anew digital camera.....Nikon D3100 and I can just aim and shoot and it managed to get some awesome action shots!
almost got it
You would think for 6 feet tall that girl would have a bigger stride LOL
ahhhhh got it!
Lets go team!


and away we go....believe it or not this particular game we play at KMS last week and we lost by 1 point they got a basket as the buzzer rang grrrrr...


Tis a great thing we have basketball to keep us busy in the winter....got a few makeup games, been so cold, right now as I work on this we show a -17 and the other day when I got off of work it was - 23. School has closed early.....canceled..... and not even opened this winter, Been a few years since it was this harsh on us...

I have been going through boxes in the basement, you know the ones we try not to look at... but I figure with graduation coming I best hop to it and get some things done......hopefully in a few days I will show some progress of things I have been working on!

So until then.....Have a Blessed safe weekend!

Snow snow snow


Well slow goes it even on snow storm days......I love the pattern of this scarf,...my first knitted project and ya I know the stitches are not all perfect but they are coming along great!!...Will be nice when I can do a project like this in a weekend rather than a week or *coughs* two *laughs*

We have had a few good snows, I quit counting now, we have blown open the driveway at least two times a week, so far, school has been 2 hrs late all week so far, But I have made it to work!!

Nothing more happening here, Just staying warm and taking one day at a time, so until next time.........................................

First week of activities

Right before New Years I got the honor to puppy sit again for a friends lil man, His name is Boo, Is he not adorable!? Boo and my lil Chancer have play dates while mt friend and I sit and visit, or get creative, do journals and angel cards, No better way to spend a day with a friend!
Told Boo to Smile for the camera and this is the best he gave me!!
He spent a few days bonding with Becky, who actually thinks this puppy stage is fun!! He really was a good little guy! No accidents in the house so who am I to complain??
Well so far this week I did spend a few hours learning to cast on....and worked on the knit stitch.... tore it apart and did it again working on the perl stitch, Or is that spelled Purl? Hmmm I will have to look into that!
Any how now I am trying my hand at a scarf....again trying to get the right tension down,I cast on 20 and then did 4 knit and 4 perl, alternating to the end, kind of a fun design....hopefully at the week's end I will have a few more rows added on...slow process for me for sure but a fun one!!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
