Grey Saturday

Just hanging out today.  Hubby is working, I'm babysitting Pastors grandson Corban.  Nothing at all exciting going on.  I did add some stuff to my Etsy shop.  Got to do something to chase the blues away.  I have become more of an internet junky than ever before in my life.  No wonder this winter is going by so fast.  Hurry Spring, hurry.  I just want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and see some flowers popping out of the ground.  Heck a blade of grass would even be nice.  Everything is dirty snow and slippery surfaces.
  Speaking of sun on my face, I am going to Hawaii for the first time this September.  I am very excited, I've been wanting a vacation so bad since Charlie was in the hospital in 2007.  I felt so exhausted and worn out and I just needed to rest, so here I am 3 years later getting that much needed vacation.  I'm going with my BFF Linda Davis, aka my Pastors wife.  I can hardly wait.
  Yesterday was a special day because I got my first order off of Etsy.   The sock monkey hats are selling like hotcakes.  The one I made last night turned out so cute and it's going to a special little 4 month old guy named Jamison, I hope he likes it.  And I know for sure that he is going to look so so adorable in it.

 

Ok this is better the other one was blurry

Tinga Poblana

Time to step it up with dinners, so for inspiration I went to my old trusty "Mexico the Beautiful" cook book and chose the Tinga Poblana recipe.  Fresh refried beans made on the stove, cooked with onion & garlic and salted later for taste, so yummy.  Alfredo says it's wonderful....(of course it is, we had hotdogs last night for dinner)

I don't know why, I'm just feeling the spirit of Valentines Day this year and want to do something special.  Not sure exactly what that "special something" is, but I'll come up with something.  I think it is these Rosettes I'm making for Moriah, Hazel & Sammi that are getting me in the mood.  One thing I did think would be fun, is pink, red and white tutu's for my girls.  Now that would be cute, maybe even a  little under skirt tule for me.  Ok now I  need to go and get all this stuff.

My New Blog

Easier than I thought setting up a blog.  I can't believe I'm doing this finally.  Many pictures and hopefully adventures to come.
