Current project

Well, I haven't been doing much crafting because I am working on a BIG sewing project. Here is a sneak peek.(Oh, and your eyes are ok, its blurry because my camera is acting up again).

New Favorite Barbeque Sauce

I like this sauce on brisket. When feeling western I pop a half of a beef brisket into the crockpot first thing in the morning (I don't even trim off the fat). I cook it on low all day. About 30 minutes before dinner I drain off the fat and extra liquid and poor Stubb's original (or mild) sauce over the top. Then I cook it for 30 minutes more and serve.

Frizzy Hair

This is a silly post. This is what my hair looks like if I let it air dry- frizzy, curly and in some places straight! Even my hair is confused :o)

Library

Don't you just love the library?! Here are some of our books from this weeks trip. We have a nice library but it didn't take me long to read through the current craft section. Two years after we moved here I found out that we have an interlibrary loan program- so fun! I read about books on other blogs or on Amazon then I go to our library and request them. Usually in about two weeks I'm taking the book home from the library.

Edges, edges, edges!

Wow, we have a lot of edges. We gave up on fixing the edge trimmer and bought a new one and I've been trying to get the yard edged- very time consuming and my forearms are killing me! Yards are so much easier to maintain than to play "catch up" in. Mark, helped and there is still a lot of sweeping to do and if you can believe it, more edges around the back paths.... but it's looking much better already.

Lack of Posts due to Painting

Sorry, I haven't been posting much. I've been trying to get two bathrooms painted. It is going much slower than anticipated and now the tape is not coming off very well... ugh! I wish I was quick and good at these things!

Plasma Car

Santa bought one of these cars to our house two or three years ago and it still is a huge it. Whenever we have kids over they always want to be the one driving this car. It goes by itself! All the kids do is gently rock the steering wheel and off they go. Anyone, up to 220 lbs. (that can fit on this) can ride it. We keep it inside and use it on tile and linoleum with ease. I would say kids over seven or eight would be a little uncomfortable, but the kids would get a kick out of watching their dad ride it. It won an Oppenheimer toy award. The cheapest price I have ever seen it at is at Fat Brain Toys. Oh, and Amazon has started carrying them, too. Christmas present maybe...?
