Ice Day

Author: Miranda /

Well that's what I call them here since we don't actually have snow and the kids are off from school once again. We had pretty icy roads this morning so when my alarm went off at 5:30am I turned the news on in the bedroom, saw that school was closed, turned the TV back off, shut my alarm off and went back to sleep! LOL at least until oh let's see the kids let me sleep till 7am, which was really good. Then breakfast and getting warm under the blankets on the couch. Once i was warm and had had my coffee, i decided it was time to work on my blanket for Connor's karate teacher since the Christmas party there is Thursday....I have to say it's not my best work, but for working with Minky fabric for the first time I don't think it's too bad.....here it is.




Once that was finished, I decided to try working with it again since I had some left over. The office manager at the Karate Studio and his wife just had a baby girl, so I thought why not make her a Diva "lovie" blanket, something small she can learn to grasp onto, so here is my attempt at that....I think it turned out well, a little leopard print for the fashionista inside and some bold burgundy trim....

So that has been my projects for the day. .This now means I can get back to my Christmas fabric quilt tomorrow...hopefully :) With the parents coming in next week, the next few days may be spent cleaning and making sure that there isn't anything on the floors that the girls (that would be my mom's dogs) can get into....It is now that time of day to think about supper, I believe I am going to try out a new casserole recipe that i have for a taco bake casserole. Sounds good, looks easy, we'll see if the troops like it.

Till next time...Stay warm and happy crafting.

Guinea Pig growth

Author: Miranda /











Well, not much done today. Got my kitchen rearranged food wise and organized, then went grocery shopping, cute my list a bit once I realized I had a lot of the basics i am gonna need for suppers this week. Connorman came with me and was my helper, keepin track of what i needed and what we had gotten from my list. And as his reward he got to get two packages of Soft Mint sticks. (only 88 cents a piece) for him and JJ. Meanwhile JJ stayed at home and got to help Daddy outside clean up the back yard and deck and fix the merry go round we have outside for decoration. It was a fun day for the boys, overall they did very well playing together, I was quite impressed. If they could only do that on a more regular basis.




I took some pictures of the guinea pigs to show their growth progress in just a weeks time. 2 more weeks and we have to separate the boys from the girls, we haven't figured out the sex on all of them, but I think its gonna be hard to decide who we keep out of all of them since we need to have two of the same sex.. :( They are all so cute.








Tomorrow I am going to attempt to sew the minky fabric onto the back of the quilt I made for Connor's Karate teacher, I am kind of excited about it. If it works out well, then I will hopefully get the rest of the blocks put together for the christmas quilt. I may also have enough fabric left over to make a small "lovey" blanket for someone or even a little stuffed animal if I can find a simple pattern.




That's about it for now...till tomorrow sometime.
