Hey friends-
We were given a dog today, and she ran away. Please pray for a safe night for her, and hopefully she will be returned to us.
Thank you!

The great cereal caper!

"I know where Mom keeps my faux-rios...I'll just get myself a snack."

"Uh-oh! Someone's coming!!"

"If I can just get to my room, I'll be safe! Taco-don't tattle!""Yes!! Now I can eat the whole bag if I want-Mom will never know!"
"MOM?!"

Halloween

2008-11-01T21:41:00.002-04:00

Ava carried this almost the whole night.
The butterfly costume

The Jack O Lantern

Happy Halloween? Well, mostly. Too tired to post much more. Ava was up half of the night ;ast night and so far, 4 times in the last 2 hours. She and I have both been sick...had an AWESOME bonfire last night! LaLa spent the night. Rett was invited to the Colts game tomorrow by Julie, who had an extra ticket.

I NEED TO RECHARGE!!!!!!!

This is usually the day I get my Christmas stuff out...too tired, though. Did I mention Rett has drill this weekend? In other words I had Ava solo, morning noon and night all week, all day today, and Rett's going to Indy as soon as he gets home tomorrow. And Monday AM starts it all over again...

House, part 2

2008-10-16T20:30:00.002-04:00

Okay, girls...I really need some ideas here!! I like this room pretty well, it's my bathroom...
I like the stuff in it...It's all practical.
Except for this.

And this I still love...got it for 3.00 a few years ago. But does anyone still do lavender bathrooms? Is it to much? Am I just growing up?! I am all for sophistication, but does this look "old"? I think I want to do a modern/rach type thing, but it doesn't work in this house. No, it doesn't! So what's a girl to do?

"House, house,,,?!"

2008-10-10T14:06:00.005-04:00

The King and I? Good movie...anyway. I have been reading a lot of artsy blogs lately, and I feelin' pretty so-so about my house. it's okay, but nothing to-die-for. Remember when my house used to be to-die-for? Well...I just am not feeling inspired to rearrange and update right now. So I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! I am going to post pictures of every room over the next week or so, and you comment on what you think I should change/keep. 'K?

Dining room, obviously. State souvenir plates on the wall. I like the parasol light cover...Bland...needs pop.
Cute cabinet...paint? And too much stuff, needs to be edited.

THANK YOU!!!

What do I DO all day??

2008-10-09T12:56:00.005-04:00

Here's what I've been doing. When I CAN do...

For a friend's 30Th birthday.
These are a sample of some pieces I am selling through a local shop...

These are on Etsy.
A scrapbook for our friends' first baby...it's super cute, but I forgot to snap it until it was wrapped and I was running out the door to her shower:( The top is a little corsage made of tulle and a vintage hankie.
A thank you card for the Godmama, made from an old photo folder.

These were for a swap this week, but I couldn't be there. But when I pick mine up, I will show them to you!

Food for thought

2008-09-30T21:19:00.002-04:00

I was looking at some new blogs and ran across some food for thought. You can check it out at Claudia's September 14th post. What do you think?

Cheerio, Chuppcake!

2008-09-30T20:02:00.004-04:00

One of my favorite people just up & left for Virginia last week I made a traveling crown for her. I told her to wear it all the way, and take lots of pictures of herself along the way for me. I think she thought I was crazy. No pics yet from her, anyway...hope your travels went well, Stacey!

Feed sack Fabulous!

2008-09-25T17:05:00.007-04:00

This is the vintage feed sack quilt I gave Monkey for her first birthday. She picked it out hersef. She has good taste!
I love, love the striped panel in the front, and the polka dots near the top!
The pillow case is also made of feed sack material. It's kinda small, so I made a pillow for it. So worth it, it looks great with the quilt AND it has rickrack trim!
(This is a toy lipstick, also a birthday gift. She thinks it's a sippy cup.)

For more fab feed sacks, go to Barb's blog, Oodles and oodles. Happy Friday!

Now for sale!

2008-09-24T14:46:00.003-04:00

These darling little favor baskets are now for sale in my etsy shop. And yes, they are extras from Monkey's party...

Garage sale finds

2008-09-22T19:11:00.003-04:00

Here are my best finds this weekend...I usually find nothing, so don't feel too jealous!Set of 6 dining room chairs that actually go with the table!!
Aren't these cool? Argyle owl ornaments-the most fabulous thing you never knew you didn't have!
3 Charlottes (and a jointed German bisque doll) for 25 cents. These are my first, although I have loved Charlottes for a long time.
2 Pink iris pillowcases for 2.00. More than I usually pay, but I think they will make an adorable spring skirt for the Monkey Buns. Also, vintage German trim that I will probably use to embellish her clothes.

Did anyone else go junkin' this weekend?

Monkey Buns is 1!

2008-09-21T17:34:00.013-04:00

Happy birthday to Monkey Buns! From this....
To this!

Daddy's gift...penguin Converse sneakers!
Aunt Red stealing my presents!
Chuppcake, my NEW monkey baby, from: Chuppcake, my friend!
Taco eating all the cake she can.

Cake with sparklers and Charlottes and sprinkles...you get the picture.
Daddy...just being himself.
Cupcakes!
Lots of wonderful gifts.

Mom & Monkey Buns.

Thank you to everyone who was here or thought of us on the big day! We survived a whole year of parenting...and she survived a year of our parenting. So, I think it's going to work out after all;) It was a fabulous day all in all, and so many people coming to love on MB...what a blessing! See you all next year.....if I'm out of bed by then! For more birthday pictures taken by the wonderfully talented Julie, click here. She surprised me by taking snaps so I could be with Ava all day...such a thoughtful friend, and a wonderful gift.

Country Living Fair

2008-09-13T22:15:00.008-04:00

Okay... I know this is a HUGE post! But I didn't want to leave anyone out, so here goes!

It was a tons of fun!!

Farm Chicks were so sweet! I bought a necklace and a cute pink tee from them.
Chester's. Love that name!
Kitty Babendreier, who was so very sweet to meet! LOVEher art, and bought a small piece. This girl was a total doll!
Jody Battaglia, with her DARLING little creations! Love her work, and what a fun, fun girl! I could chit chat with her till....eternity;)

Nicole Bowen's adorable little creatures, which I want ALL OF, and in the worst way! When I went by on Friday, Nicole noticed my charm bracelet and said she would wear hers on Saturday.
Kitty wore hers too, as you can see! Met Jen too, what a sweetie! You can see all these babes on Earth Angels.
McMaster & Storm
Nest eggs!

Tickled Pink, what cute stuff! I wish she had a website, I would definitely hook you up!

These were made by a super sweet lady--"real art!" I cannot remember her name, but if you know, I would love to put her up here!

Findings.

The Vintage Barn! so cute, and dreadfully sweet chicas!

Bloomsbury Loft.

And me, with Nancy Soriano:)))))) (CL's Editor in Chief) I had the pleasure of running into her twice, what a girl! She hasn't seen the last of me, either...

New Shoes

2008-08-23T21:52:00.002-04:00

These are my new shoes. They weren't cheap, but that doesn't matter to me. Because they're fabulous, that' what they are.
Here I have one of the vintage dresses I found while pregnant. Thinking I would lose the weight right away. Anyway, I was going to list them on eBay since they would never fit. and look! This one did! Sort of....and it looks all shiny, but it's super sophisticated in real life. Trust me!

Elvis, baby!

2008-08-19T10:10:00.005-04:00

A loves magnets right now. I have put some of the bi ones down so she can reach them, and I ave Elvis and Lucy "paper doll" magnets that she carries around the kitchen with her.
This morning, she was talking to Elvis, "Bayybeee, beeebee..." I said "Elvis is a man, not a baby." A: "Beebeeee." Me: "No, he's all grown up. He's a man." A: "Weawy?" Me: "Yes." A: "Oh." Then she throws him down. Hmm...

Why I am not good at posting frequently

2008-08-02T20:49:00.006-04:00

#1: Monkey's 1st birthday party planning and preparation.
Handmade favor baskets. Each will have the little "birthday fairy" card, a candy ice cream cone, pastel mints and party poppers, and whatever else I can find to cram in before the big day!
#2: Super cute invites! I know it's almost 2 months early STILL, but they are hand made, hand written, hand stamped and tied up with ribbon and 1 candle. So, I had to get them finished.
#3: My garage sale find of the weekend (and probably for the rest of the year, the way things have been going) Anyway, I plan to put them on a little shelf in my yellow/pink laundry room...

#4 Chasing Monkey around the house. She LOVES, L_O_V_E_S to empty "her" drawer. About 10 times a day.
"Carrots. Better in the jar than on my plate, Mom!"

#5: Doing laundry. Then what do I find in my clean sheets?

A rotten Taco Willie Nelson, all burrowed in for the night!

#6: Monkey's first picnic. Love the cool exterior. She gets that from me!

#7 Making a baby gift for a friend, a little memory box.
It contains lots of little charts, a packet for his first haircut and a photo/not journal for his first year, which contains holiday notes and other little bits..

#8 : Taking Monkey to the city pool.

#9: Monkey's first watermelon! And the ensuing sanitation of everything within 10 feet of her chair...Note the pink lake on her tray alone.#10: Okay, a few of these. But I'm pretty sure this was our only together nap, ever.

#11: A bunch of holiday stuff for Lola Rue. I'm not ready to show you yet!

No, No. Again.

2008-07-22T09:50:00.002-04:00

Yesterday at breakfast, I was attemping to feed A baby food. Uck! So I said, "Do you want to feed yourself, then?"
A replies, "No, way! I don't!"
Me "Okay, I'll just put your spoon here in case you change your mind."
Now, I had barely set the spoon down before she grabbed it right up (I think she'll make a great garage saler!) and proceeds to move it at lighting speed toward her mouth. BUT WAIT!! She spies a tiny piece of cereal (Tiny as in about 1/16th of an inch across) stuck to the bottom of the spoon! Gingerly, she picks the offending piece off of the spoon and crams it into her...nose.

Today, I am cleaning her off after breakfast (Fresh plums and Chex) and she says to me, in her best authoritative voice: "No, no April. Stop!" Hmm......Well, you know what they say. Another day, another discipline issue. At least, that's what we say around here!

Kool Aid thievery, "No, no, no!"

2008-07-08T19:49:00.000-04:00

Umm...yeah. I am cooking, and I keep smelling strawberry Kool Aid. What I THOUGHT was that Rett was making some. I was wrong. Here's what was REALLY going on:
And that drawer was not open before she got there.
Anyway, dinner: A's doing her new thing, signing "No, no, no....no, no..."
I turned around and raised my eyebrow (not wanting to encourage this, even though it's really cute)
A says, very indignitely, "CLAP!!"
And then, because clearly I don't know what I'm doing, she SHOWS ME HOW to clap, very slowly putting her hands together! I happen to be a very hard case, apparently.
These are my latest completed projects, using some old flash cards. This one is inspired by...no one I know, that's for sure!!

This is my favorite of the series, I adore the buttons on top.
Love this one, too! So cute on a restroom door!

"What'd I say?!"

2008-06-24T09:28:00.000-04:00

Daddy: (Growling) "The monster's gonna get you, A!
Mom: "What are you gonna do, A?
A: Still holding her favorite toy, a VERY HEAVY whisk that she picks like a guitar, brandishes her whisk and clubs Daddy on the nose! " Ah-ha-ha!!!"

Shopping with Crafty Baby

2008-06-24T09:13:00.000-04:00

Here is my baby, in one of her favorite places. Ever. The Kroger cosmetics aisle.

She's all happy here, 'cause she just realized where we were. Yay!!

Now she has made her selection, lilac glitter polish for her toes.

Do you like it?
(Mom: "Want me to put it on your toes now?")

UH-huh!To the lady next to her, "wook!"

This is why I spend copious amounts of time in Kroger each week. Hey, at least we're getting out of the Wal Mart rut!

Splish, Splash! Johnny Cash ( and Ellington, a distant second)

2008-06-16T15:11:00.000-04:00

Well, as you can see, Ava is the owner of a kiddie pool. She likes it...Sometimes.
But what she really likes is listening to Johnny Cash. All the time. We listened to 3 LPs this afternoon, and she rocked, laughed and sang along. At the end of each song, she pointed to the record player and looked at me. I appropriately responded, Johnny Cash, YAAAYYY!!!! Which caused applause. Right about that time, the next song would start, and startle Ava.
So, after three LPs (I adore Johnny Cash, but still!) I put Duke on. No. Where jhhh csh??
And it all went down hill from there.

Penis plants and "I know, Mom"

2008-06-05T09:31:00.000-04:00

Okay,
Well, I haven't posted in a while. But, as you will see in the upcoming photos, I have been really busy. Really!

Socky likes to play with her barrettes. By "Play", I mean throw them all over her room, and cry when the box is empty.
She also enjoys a good toothbrushing before bed!
We "found" this down the road from our house last night. Two houses down, to be exact. The sheriff did not think it was a Kodak Moment, but oh, well.

Then there is our next door neighbor's house. On my way home after taking pictures of the madness and mayhem, I noticed these in my flower beds. I asked Soldier Boy what they were, and he immediately got online to find out. 10 minutes later, he walks into the dining room and announces "penis plants!" Oh? yep, otherwise known as phallic stink horn. who knew?!
So as I'm looking at the info Soldier Boy found, Socky starts picking at the wood on my antique buffet. I said, "A, if you touch that again, I will have to spank you." To which she replied, "I know, Mom."
She's also started calling Taco "Tahoe, Tahoe!" Just for the record.

I am in the process of putting together another little batch of things for Lola's, so hopefully they will be up for your viewing pleasure soon!

2008-05-26T21:23:00.000-04:00

So I know it's been awhile since I've posted. But it's been busy....as usual. We've been playing catch up this weekend: Got the grass cut (it was over 2 feet tall. Well over.) Light changed in the dining room, walls patched, trim painted, toilet fixed, a slew of art pieces finished (or mostly finished), all ,y art supplies moved from a cabinet in the front room to my bedroom (Converted that cabinet for the records & player. Now I can listen to the Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffet in style! Until my ears bleed! Or Rett's, which will be a WHOLE LOT sooner. Just ask him...he'll tell you.)
Had donuts for breakfast with Hepmama and Big Red Saturday. Mama has a new blog, and we're all so proud! She did it all by herself! And next time you see her, ask her about "Cooking the he** out of" grape juice. Or just mention it to Big Red. Go ahead, try it!

Ava and I at church Sunday. Isn't she so big?

Some mini's for Lola Rue
This is totally for my "Studio"

This is way cuter in person. It's going to Lola's, too.

New/old dining room light fixture. I got this at an estate auction when Rett was deployed, for $1.00!

Mother's day cards

Someone's in the kitchen with Mama

Jolene's baby raccoons. I LOVE them!!! She has brought them to visit a few times...so cute. And loud...

Oh, this is my new "Studio". Note the footboard on the left, and the closet on the right. Yep, that's it.

My life in pictures...Cute pictures!

2008-04-29T21:01:00.000-04:00

I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but here's the short version...My birthday, getting a new employee trained so I can cut back my hours at work, and a really crabby baby.
This is a decoupage picture frame a made for a friend who's expecting her first child (a girl, sienna Rose. Obviously.)
A card for my baby sister who turned 13 this month. Happy B-day, Porkchop! (On the topic of B-days, this is a big year around here: My 25th, Amy's 21st, Red's 16th, Porkie's 13th and Socky's 1st!)

Ava got all dressed up for Mama's birthday! Doesn't she look cute and kinda raggy in that scarf?

My reds (not all of them, Big!) and me on my birthday. Little Red on the left brought a gorgeous plant for me, I think it's a bleeding heart...

But if you were me, what would YOU think it was?

No really. I would love to know for sure!

I "found" this gorgeous lilac in my back yard last week!! Lucky me! I am so in love....seriously, lilacs are one of me very favorite flowers. EVER. They have the most amazing, heady scent...deep colors...right outside my kitchen window!

MMMMM!!!!

Oh, this is the wildcat I found in our back yard. I really wanted a picture, but I did not want an encounter, so Rett valiantly snapped this for me. Creepy....

My baby loves to brush her teeth...I'm so proud...

and she's so cute doing it!

The great outdoors

2008-04-18T18:25:00.000-04:00

"It's so beautiful outside!"

"And I learned that the barn on my shirt opens up, and tastes really great!!"
"Look, I'm flying!"

"Hmmm..."
"Inna godda davida, Honey..."

"...Don't ya know that I love you!"

Saturday nights in the middle of the mid(dle)west

2008-04-12T22:58:00.000-04:00

Saturday night has always been ritualistic for me.
As a young child, I remember long baths, having Mom blow dry my VERY long hair, or braiding it. Then she could usually be persuaded to scratch my back for a while, the whole time listening to Garrison Keillor, then Thistle and Shamrock on WTIU.

As I got older, I would think about what I was going to wear to church the next morning, while I waited for everyone else to get out of the shower. Then I had to wait some more, for hot water. This usually meant getting into the bathroom about the time Dad went to bed, so he would yell about turning the fan on, not letting the shower run, etc, etc, etc. Still worth it, thought, not having younger siblings beating on the door or picking the lock to evict me by force...Anyway!
I loved that time, scrubbing, conditioning, blow drying my hair and doing my nails.

After I got married My dear husband indulged my quirkiness and let me run the shower until the hot water ran out, without running the fan, and stay up completing my rituals as long as I wanted. (Although, now that we own a house, I do run the fan.)

That is the long version of a short story, though...so here is what I want to say: I got a Soap and Glory spa set (Still in sealed package) today at a garage sale for 2.00! LOVE IT!! Especially the Flake Away scrub. Wonder if they make a foot scrub?...I have wanted to try the line for a while, but it's kinda pricey, so I was happy with my find. I must now have more!!

And Socky, the little darling, just loves Mama's pink pedicure. So much she tries to stick my feet in her mouth whenever she sees them....
So I had this brilliant idea to give her her first pedicure...Daddy was gone, so we girls had to find SOMETHING to do after all...."I love this color..."

"...Love, love, love! It's scrumptious!!"
"In fact, I can't get enough! It's delicious!!"
"So, if any of you want to get this look at home, Mama used Cover Girl Boundless Color in Sassy Strawberry. Professional Nail Tech recommended."

So here's to Saturday night rituals! Have a wonderfully clean Sunday:)

"Ohh...look at all that HAIR!"

2008-04-08T21:00:00.000-04:00

That's right. I hear it all the time. Usually followed by "How old?" and then a look that says even more:
"You LIAR!"
"Oh, my goodness! I'm glad mine weren't THAT big!" or,
"Just wait 'til I tell Melinda!! What'd she say, 7 months and 23 pounds?! Or was it 32? As soon as I'm out of ear shot, I'm callin' her either way!"
Although some times, the hair awareness is followed by an entirely different question, along the lines of "Boy I sure could use some of that hair. Man, that just isn't fair! Hey, have you ever thought about selling that hair for wigs?/Ever seen that SNL skit about baby toupees?" (Like that's really original or intellectually stimulating? I know, it's polite conversation. Well, if you consider selling your child's scalp or SNL polite, anyway.)

Socky had her first pigtails last Sunday! Mundane, I know, but I live in a small town. Isn't she cute?!

She sure loves being the center of attention, doesn't she? Just whip that camera out, man, and she's all smiles! Wal-Mart has the same effect, but that's a different (and sad) story. (Very sad.)

Well, Mama's always last, as all Mamas know. So here is what I made this week...for my friend Julie who got a job in SPAIN!! And because I loved this one so much, my friend Cindy recieved a similar card for her promotion to full time!!
Anyway, thought you might like it, too.

To Godmama, with love

2008-04-02T20:21:00.000-04:00

So, I've been thinking about posting here for a while. Yep...but then I get busy doing "stuff"...sorry to my loyal fan.

So, how much do I want Dominique voted off of ANTM?? A whole, whole lot! She's SO OBNOXIOUS!

My artwork has been accepted by a local art boutique, yay!! Maybe I'll start selling it one of these days...

Socky has been a total beast this week. But today, better...maybe it was the drugs? Well, she hasn't started crawling yet and she doesn't have any more teeth, so she better think of something fast. Real fast.

Umm, that's pretty much it for now. Maybe that's why I haven't posted anything this week, cuz I got nothin' to say. More nothin' later...

I'm going to be PUBLISHED!!!!

2008-03-25T17:37:00.000-04:00

Congrats to MEEE!! I am going to be published in the May/June 2008 issue of Somerset Studio!!! (The Best altered art mag, if you don't get it, you should.) Anyway. Oh, do you want to see a cute little card I made? For a friend of mine who's turning 12...So cute I want to keep it! Maybe I will make one for Socky's Birthday...Speaking of Socky, though, want to see her with her first Easter basket? Daddy got her plush Peeps bunnies, which, by the way, she LOVES."Oh, my!"
"I love Peeps!" (it runs in the family)

"He found a rock in his nuts."

2008-03-23T15:11:00.000-04:00

(Big Red, Porky, Dad, Brother Red, Mrs Hunky, Hepmama W/ Sock Eater, Soldier E, Hunky Hutch, sexy Soldier and me. Whew!!)

"He found a rock in his nuts. "

This was the highlight of Easter with my family. My sister Mrs Hunky and her husband Hunky Hutch came to town, plus me, Sexy Soldier and Sock Eater, parents, brother Red and sisters Red and Porkchop. We had turkey for lunch and ate candy and drank Cokes for the rest of the after noon. Healthy, huh?

We played Scrabble, which Sexy Soldier won (by 2 points. TWO!!) Mrs. Hunky brought pics of her new house, and we discussed the finer points of paint colors and why anyone would choose cobalt blue, neon yellow, barf green as carpet colors. Especially IN THE SAME HOUSE?!

Socky surprised Aunt Porkchop by not waiting for the clean diaper to lighten her load, if you know what I mean. 6 layers of bedding and the adorable linen sailor dress in the washer later, Socky is practically naked. Just the way she likes it!

Later today, we'll color Easter eggs (Big Red selected the dying kit, and has already pirated the Hello Kitty stickers and poster. I suggested that Socky would enjoy the poster, and was informed that someday she would. But today was not that day!)

My father was recently eating nuts, the story goes, and bit into what he thought was a rock. Turns out he was right. When he complained to the company, he was told he would receive $64.00 worth of products. So in the family room, there is a giant box of *brand name deleted* chips. When my sister asked WHY the big box o' chips was there, my mother said, "Well, he found a rock in his nuts." Simple as that.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Slowly losing my mind...or maybe it's already gone

2008-03-16T15:16:00.000-04:00

Okay, I'm sitting here trying to think up a creative, clever name for my blog title. My 6 month old daughter is next to me, eating her sock. It's one of the few things she enjoys that's not electronic, lethal, or both. (At least she's not screaming!) I'll probably regret this soon, but it's the only thing I can think of: My baby eats socks. There you go, I hope you're proud Mom!
