Long Weekends

Ben and I have enjoyed a weekend alone while the kids have been camping with my Mom and Dad, and I just miss'em so bad I can't stand it! I even woke up early thinking about how bad I just wanted to kiss their little faces and smell their dirty little heads! EARLY people, like 5am early...you know there is something wrong if mama is out of bed doing laundry before eight o'clock! But you see I have this plan! The kids will be at church this morning and Ben just left for the firehouse, so I'm cleaning up, packing my bags, going to go to church to kiss my kids until they are sick of me, and then follow them back down to camp and crash the party! I've shared their little kisses and smells all I'm willing. Nana and Papa will just have to keep me too :) Then I guess I will have to come back home Monday evening with them and be in a flurry of sewing and preparing for market....but I'll not think of that now. Nope. I'll just think about how sweet those dirty little kisses are gunna be!

I'll see you guys next week! I hope your long weekend is wonderful! Oh and be ready, there is going to be a little surprise popping up here soon....xo, Sam

I know it's always bittersweet when the kids are gone. I never liked being away from my kids when they were little, and I'm not too far away now. LOL

I hope you had a fun time!
It's strange how much we miss our kids when they are away even though we try & tell ourselves this is our freetime!
Have a great rest of your week

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

Crochet Flower Tutorial

Click pictures to enlarge, and don't look at my ugly, unmanicured, stay-at-home mother of three fingernails! As promised this is my quick and easy flower tutorial. These make great hair pins or barrettes. They could also be used to decorate gifts, to spiff up some ready to wear clothing, and baby booties. Let me know all the ways you could use them! I used sport weight yarn and a size H hook. This pattern will work with lots of other hook and thread combinations, as shown above. Chain 6. Join with a slip stitch to beginning chain to form a "loop". Chain 3. Work triple crochet in main "loop", over yarn tail as shown, repeat three more times. There will be four triple crochet in each petal. Single crochet, then start next petal. Work five petals. Slip stitch to beginning petal. Now using the yarn tail that you have crochet to the loop, gently pull the center tight. To finish off pull yarn to back of flower, cut, and tie to yarn tail using a s...
