What a Weekend!

I really had a fabulous weekend! First let me tell you about the Halloween Apron Swap me and my Mom did.... I had signed up to do one on Swap-bot but then mom suggested we just do our own.. to ensure we get a good swap! So yesterday was like getting Christmas presents! She made me a cute little half apron from a Mccalls pattern and I love it! Also in my package was Halloween plates, some goblets, a cute matching towel and some yarn! Thanks Mom!!!!!


I made her apron using the 4 Corners Apron pattern... which I love! Easy and super cute! She wouldn't model it for me so below I'm having to to do it!
She has always hated having her pic made! Taking her picture is the fastest way to make her dislike you!!!! lol!!
Also in her package I made a matching potholder, added a pair of a Halloween socks (I seriously LOVE holiday socks of any kind) and put it all in a draw string bag I made of bat fabric!!
So much fun!!
Below are some of the things the Barbie Knitting Machine has been making! Y'all know I love that thing!!!
Here's a pretty extra soft scarf!!!


This one below will be added to the neck line of a shirt....




And these are almost tube socks!!!! I honestly don't think I have one plain pair of socks!!



*******************************TGIF******************************************
Friday me and My Bald Man went out to a local Hockey game (Go Ice Bears! ) then to Mirage to see Rachel belly dance (and take her the outfit I made her a month ago!!! If she didn't have 5 kids, which keeps her so busy she forgot to pick it up....I would have been mad at her!!! lol!)
We also met up with one of my favorite people... Nancy... and ofcourse had a hookah!



Here's me n' Nanc hanging out!!


You would think the night would be over after that... but NO!!! Then we went to Fairbanks for Latino night!!!!! Rach and Nancy met up with us there too.....
We had a blast.... danced and danced and danced!!!! Whew!
I had given Rach a cute lacy top that night with her outfit... so she wore that to Latino night...
now Rach is very pretty but I think that top might have seriously put the guys there into over drive... I thought she was going to have to beat the guys off with a stick.. or with my Bald Man or maybe with her black belt (Nancy is a Black Belt with serious butt kicking ability)
Bald Man suggested the next time someone asks her to dance she could reply...
"no thanks you.. but would u like to see pics of my 5 kids!!!" lololol!!! If she had of said that I would have fell out of my chair laughing!!!
Now back to work on the longest UFO ever!!!!!! I'll explain soon.....

Happy Days & Hard Work!

Hope everyone had a fabulous New Years Eve! We had a very nice one... got all dressed up and went to the 5 course dinner event at Chez Liberty... SO GOOD! I even tried a little dish with 'sweetbreads' and had NO ideal what they were... but it was so good after I found out what they were I didn't even care! Now how many people out there know what they are??? Was I alone at not knowing??? Then we Had a bottle of bubbles... And then, I admit, came home at 11 and went to bed! I was asleep before 12!! and it makes me feel like an old fuddy duddy ! haha !! But who cares! I was all dressed up in a dress that took me 3 weeks to make with a crochet bolero that took like a month!I love wearing this dress and rarely have an occasion for it.... besides I had to get up early the next morning... And face things like this...... at our farm to be.... Now this is actually Sunday when my wonderful parents and niece Brittany stopped by to help.. but the day before it was just me and the...

Marathon cooking Monday!

I am very much in to healthy whole food eating. But if I don't plan some meals.. Especially lunches I grab easy things like nuts or a green juice.. not enough to keep this body going! something I started a few weeks ago on Monday was what I call marathon cooking. I make up a couple of high protein desserts and snacks , a couple of easy things for a few lunches and dinner with enough leftovers for the next days dinner or more lunches. A couple hours in the kitchen and solid healthy food for days! While things are in baking/cooking mode I use that down time to organize patterns , work a simple project or promote/check social media. Don't let ok at it as, yuck 2 hours of cooking .. I look at it as 2 productive hours of multitasking.  Today's marathon cooking consisted of,, simple egg salad that we like put on a low carb wrap with spinach. Huge Baked sweet potatoes which I'll cut in half and eat for lunch or a snack with butter and goat cheese mashed up! Super yum!  A huge ...

Knocking it off dress

I feel in love with this Chanel look last spring.... so instead of making a Chanel jacket I decided to put that time toward knocking this off the best I could.... I am pleased with my results! Fabric from Miami's Rex Fabrics for the top..... and ofcourse fabric for the jacket and skirt... I found a close to perfect match at walmart! Of all places! Add so hip chain belts and here is my knock off! I made the skirt longer than the original.... and no collar on the little jacket... lower neckline on the top... and a bit longer on it too.... I have several other Chanel outfits I want to knock off too... soon as I can find similar fabrics for them! I had fun with this outfit and fun wearing it! Next V8489.... I bought this fabric on a trip to Panama City, Panama. This was an easy pattern and I will use it again in the future. I added a personal touch to the dress but it didn't photograph at all... asymmetrical from shoulder across the waist and to bottom I hand beaded swarvoski crys...
