Introducing...........

TOTE-n-DOLLY

handmade bags!

While I was at Hobby Lobby getting muslin, I found myself staring at some fabric. I was trying to think of what I could make with it. Then BAM! A bag! Then I thought "How 'bout a matching dolly to go with it!" So I bought the fabric (and then some!) and came home and brainstormed. I came up with the name Tote-n-Dolly. Anywho....here are 2 of them. I will be selling these finished. The doll is about 10" tall and the bag is about 9" tall X 12" wide X 3" deep. They are also reversible!

I will be listing these on Etsy hopefully this week! :)

OK OK!!!! I'll update my BLOG!!!! SHEEEEESH!

I spent last weekend at the most anticipated event of the year for all Prim Mart addicts! PRIM MART CONVENTION 2009!!!!!

This year it was held in Harrisburg PA. I LOVED it!!!!! I sooooooo need to go back and just spend a week hoping from place to place! Anyone wanna come with me???

Well, while I was there, I talked with some of my great friends about blogging. Well, I made it a goal of mine to get my butt in gear and start keeping up on my blog.

So here ya go! LOL!!!! I'm determined to NOT edit what I write.....just let it flow......whatever my little fingers type.......that's what you will read! OH BOY!!!!

OK! So while I was there I talked to my friend Megan. We were discussing how AWESOME she looks! We got on the subject of all the meds she/we are on. She mentioned that when she was on Zoloft she would just LOOK at food and would gain weight. Well, DUH! I'm on Zoloft! No wonder I can't keep weight off. Not that that's my entire excuse, but hey, WORKS FOR ME! LOL!! So I decided to lower my dosage and see how it goes. Went from 150mg to 100. been a week............I think I've decided that I would rather be "fluffy" and happy than skinny and suicidal! Been on edge, yelling at kids, annoyed.....you name it! So, back up I go! LOL!!! Guess I'll just have to work the treadmill twice as hard.

This last weekend I watched my brother's two kids. Tab (14) and Ryan (10). We had a lot of fun! I thought it would be much more stressful than it was. Ryan is autistic. He functions quite well though. He hadn't been to church in quite a while so we decided to take him and see "how it goes." When we told him he was going to church he quickly came back with, "Church is BORING!" I just told him too bad and get in the car! He did VERY well!!!! I brought fruit roll-ups for him to snack on. He even sang the hymns with us! He was too CUTE!!! He would occasionally lean over and put his arms around me and squeeze me tight and say, "I love you Karen!" Awwwwwww!

We picked up their parents at the airport today and took them home.

Lets see.....what else.

I listed a doll on Etsy! Yay!!!! She was made using a pattern by Tonya from Back Porch Pickins! Isn't she CUTE!

OH!!! I went to Hobby Lobby today to get some good muslin (right now I have the cheap crappy kind that is flimsy....HATE it!) and some tulle for the ladybug. While the gal was cutting my fabric I was looking at all the other fabric and all of the sudden......BAM! I had a thought! A new line of dolls!

BUT you're going to have to wait and see them!!!! hehehehehehe

Needless to say I walked out with MORE than just muslin and tulle! LOL!!!!! The spark is BACK!!!!

Holy COW!!!! What a LOT of Snow!!!!

Well, I thought the title was quite fitting considering this weekends events!
We left Utah for Seattle on Friday hoping to get through the pass before the big storm(s) hit. We made it through the pass with no problem (with the help of Kirby Wilbur pod casts! LOL!)
We got off the freeway at North bend and traveled the back roads through Duvall towards Monroe. The roads were compact snow and ice so we were driving quite slow. We got within 10 minutes of our destination when we passed a cow farm on the right just off the road. Well, we didn't expect to actually SEE a cow in the middle of the road! She was is the left lane just standing there. She looked like she was going to continue her trek across the road when she saw our headlights and immediately turned toward our car. Rick started saying "Here we go! Here we go!" I just thought he was excited to see a cow so close! LOL The I realised that we weren't stopping and neither was the cow! We hit her right in the right shoulder. She spun around and her backside hit the back driver's side door!!! The girls all screamed thinking we just killed a cow! Rick stopped the car and got out to assess the damages. I watched his face and he held the flashlight up to the front corner and mouth "C R A P!" He went to get the farmers who then found the cow (Still alive!) wandering around, no doubt very stunned! They corralled her back in the pen with the other cows. We had the police come out and take a look. He got a kick out of it! LOL!!
Anywho the front driver's side is mushed in. The grill, hood, headlight, and side panel have to be replaced. The passenger door also has to be replaced.

Now, for the second half of the title! After we got here it started snowing...........and hasn't stopped! We have about 2 feet of snow! The power went out last night but has since come back on! Yeah!!!!
Rick decided he was going to see how frozen the pond was.......well, as you can guess he fell right through the ice! Apparently he was out there yelling for dad to come save him! but eventually got himself out. We had no clue what he was doing until he came in soaked up to his chest! When I asked him what on earth he was thinking, he just said, "I wanted to see how far I could go!" Well, he got about 2 feet! LOL!!! He then added, "When it happened, it happened FAST!" Duh! LOL!!
