the Weekend is here!

Yeah! It is Friday, and the weekend is here. I will be picking up my husband in the morning. He will be home untill Tuesday morning. I can't wait to go pick him up. And of course the kids are excited also.
I made stuffed chicken for dinner tonight. It turned out really good and the kids loved it.

I have also won a few things on Ebay recently. I was sooo happy to get these. I am always looking for neat things for my hair. These are my Flamingo Pink/Ebony hairsticks. they are an Ozarktwist, and they hold my hair up well.

And this is my new Barrette. It is a Greydog. I just love the look of this.


Eric started mowing the lawn tonight and hit a rock with the mower. No, the mower didn't break. Phew!!! But when the rock flew up it scared a bird. She was acting crazy. She looked like she had a broken wing, and kept sqawken at us. So we looked around, and originally thought that the rock had hit her. But that was not the case. We found her next. It is right there on the front lawn. She was trying to distract us from her nest. There were 4 speckeled eggs in there. :)
We looked it up in our book on birds and found out that it was a Killdeer. She didn't want us to hurt her eggs. So we put something near the nest so that we wouldn't run it over with the lawnmower. Eric actully went to mow in a different area after that. It took her a long time to settle down. But she finally did. So for the next month or so we will have to be really carefull. And I guess we will have a tall patch of grass there for awhile. Thats ok though. It sure will be fun seeing the baby birds in a few weeks.

Another Round Ripple, and a Thank you

I have started up another round ripple. this one is being done in pastels. I am planning to make this one a lot smaller than the last one that I just finished. I think this one will be a baby round ripple.

I also wanted to say thank you to Carol for all of her help tonight. I was finally able to do some much needed updates on my blog. :)

Happy Easter !!!

Crazy Weather

Ok so last week in was in the upper 80's. And now, it is only in the low 50's. That is just plain crazy. It's no wonder I am getting so sick. The chickens are still laying like crazy. We collected a dozen eggs yesterday.
I received my new hook in the mail yesterday. It is a wooden hook, size F. It is by Vermont Woodwork. You can find more of his hooks here. Here is a picture of my new hook.



I am still plugging away on my wavy round ripple. It does comes out with a lot of wave to it. I have to press done and smooth it out for the pictures.


Oh, and check this out. Here is my magic ball. I think I will make a little tote bag with it later. I want to add some more odds and ends first.

Yummy!!!

We made pizza for dinner tonight. Here is what it looked like before going into the oven.



And here is what it looked like coming out of the oven.



It was great. I have been experimenting with different pizza crusts, and I think I have finally found one that we all like. The kids loved it.

Stripey Ghan and Valentines Day

My Dh was home for the weekend last weekend. He had to head back out on Tuesday. So he gave me my Valentine presents early. He is such a sweetie! As you can see, I just love Teddy bears, and red is one of my favorite colors. And I also love yellow roses. They come second only to my favorite Daffodils. While Dh was home our new Devotinal books arrived!!! YEAH!!! We got new devotinal book for couples, called Night Light. This book is done by Dr James and Shirley Dobson.





And here you see some of the latest pictures of my Stripey Ghan. I am still slowly plugging away at this one.It is so fun seeng how all the different colors look together. I am just grabbing colors as I go; making sure to put a black stripe between each color. I am thinking about doing a ripple like this also.
