Wow! What a day! I have been on a roll with rearranging, decluttering, organizing and cleaning. I started in my bedroom which also doubles as my craft room. Have you ever seen a "Master" bedroom in a 14 x 70 mobile home. Yeah it's not the roomiest. I had a queen size bed, nightstand, standing fan, long dresser, armoire, and large wooden desk crammed into my bedroom. Not alot of room to move around in. First thing to go was the desk. Behind this desk I had stashed a folding table. Now I'm using the folding table for my sewing machine. Then I moved a heavy cherry telephone cabinet from the living room to the bedroom to stash some fabric and crafting supplies in. Put everything away in the bedroom, dusted and vacuumed. DONE-- TA-DAAA

Then I went to Wal-Mart. Got some groceries and a zippered cd case for the kids movies. Came back home and put away the groceries. Kids movies are all in the cd case now, empty dvd cases stored in a cabinet in my room. Moved our board games to the cabinet on the entertainment center. Got rid of the shelf the board games were on. Moved some other stuff around.

Wonder what I can get accomplished tomorrow? I know for sure I have to make a trip to the Goodwill to drop off some stuff.

Hallie's such a goon




At least she is creative in the ways she finds to entertain herself.


Of course a Cap'n Crunch box makes the perfect party hat. And only the best housekeepers know that blue swimming goggles make the dirt show up better. LOL

A reminder of what I want to do with my life


Every so often I get a request for a wreath. This is the latest. I even got a compliment out of Matthew on this one. Now Matt is very choosy with his compliments. The most I have ever gotten out of him was an "it's ok." Today he told me, "You know I think this is the best one you've ever done. I actually like this one." Let me know what the rest of you think.

Yesterday was a wonderfully busy day. I didn't go into work but I did plenty around the house. The only room that I did not clean was the bathroom and it's not bad yet. It will be after the kids all get their baths in a little while. Maybe I'll muster up some get up and go and scrub later this evening. On top of cleaning the house I also mowed the lawn and ran some errands and did a little baking for the dog. Yes my poochie is a spoiled princess. She just LOVES her homemade dog treats!

Today however has been more of a blah day. I messed up yesterday and drank some caffeine loaded soda. So of course I didn't sleep. I only worked about three hours this morning. I made some lunch for the kids and washed up the dishes, then took a short nap. Felt a low grade temp coming on a couple of hours ago so I took some Tylenol and ate some chocolate covered peanuts. Now I have a hot flash and feel fine. I'm not cold anymore. HAHAHA

Well anyway I'm outta here. If nothing else I really need to get some packages ready to mail off this week and get mom's doll done.

Ooops Forgot One


And here's another purse I made to go to Aunt Donna's shop. I knew I was missing something.

Some new projects....







The dolly (finished) went to Sue for a Christmas in July giftie. The teddy and the pillow are a couple more things going to Aunt Donna's shop. And the poor girl with the little puff of hair and no face is mom's. The hair is just taking forever!

I Wish They Would Get This Done Already


I tried to find a before picture but the only one is in a video and I don't know how to upload a video to my blog post. Anyhoo.... Jeff has been working on tearing out this old trailer for a week or so now, well probably a couple of weeks. Doesn't this look horrible?! If the looks of it isn't bad enough, it's almost impossible to get out of the driveway some days. I can not wait for them to be done with this mess!
