Made my first apron!

My friend Kathy (who is also a Crafty Bay Farmgirl Chapter member) came over my house a few days ago and taught me how to use a pattern to make my first apron! I finished it the next evening and I love it! It is so cute. Now, it's not perfect since this was my first try, but I am thrilled about it anyway! so here is a pic of my newest creation!

Popping in!

Just wanted to pop in and say that I am still here! It's been a very busy Spring and it will probably be a very busy Summer. All has been well and good the last few months. Things are beginning to look up. I received a good job offer and my hubby is happy at his new job. My daughter found an apartment and she is back out on her own with her family. School is ending soon for the little ones so there is tons of end of school year events going on :)

So, I will try to post more often (hopefully) to keep you all updated on my crazy life...lol  In the meantime, drop me a comment and I'll be checking out everyone else's blogs!

Time flies....

I know I only come on here once in a while.. I'm a bad blogger :(. The New Year has been a bumpy one so far and it's been a crazy ride with me and the family.

To make a long story short - my hubby lost his job ( he is now employed again) and my father-in-law passed away. We are still healing, but all will be ok.

I have, on a lighter note, reopened my Etsy shop, started doing some more crafting, and have turned vegetarian. I am trying to heal myself from all the stress a little at a time. So far, so good :) Keep me in your thoughts please!

I also have wonderful news! I have a second grandchild! My grandson Jaxson came into this world on November 16, 2011! He is my Little Bug and I love him to pieces! He makes me smile along with my grand daughter who is 5 now! They and their parents are all living here with me , my hubby, and our two youngest children :)

So, maybe 2012 will get better as we go along. I'm keeping my spirits up and moving forward with this crazy thing called life! Wish me luck!
