A few GW finds...and SUNSHINE!

Today I got out and went to GW. I got a few things...I am just waiting for the day I hit the mother load!

A wooden box, sm tin heart that says love , little wooden salt box ornie, sm decorative quilt rack, and a strangely shaped cutting board??


2 wooden flowers, ceramic bunny (love him), and a muslin bunny

Sorry the pics aren't the greatest. I had to use my cellphone. It is so nice today...the sun is shining and melting away some of the snow. We are due to get hit again Sunday into Monday with another storm and they are saying it will have everything...including the kitchen sink! Rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow! Oh, what fun!

Here is a pic of some goodies I got from Jennifer (Jennifer768) We did a sampler swap and she sent me some WONDERFUL handmade goodies! I love them all!
The prim pears fit perfectly in my little Kraft cheese box!
Thank You so much Jen!


Until next! Have a GREAT weekend!

My where does time go?

I have just realized that I haven't posted one time for the month of Feb. Things are pretty crazy around here. We are still trying to find a place to live and get everything taken care of. Not to mention the snow hasn't helped things! My husband starts a new job March 1st and I'm still not sure how to feel about it. He is going to be a Correctional Officer at a maximum security prison. My stomach is in knots and I think I will be on edge for awhile. He has about a month or two of training on 1st shift and then he will most likely go to 2nd shift. That will change life as we know it! I will pretty much become a single parent at that time. It will be difficult, but I will manage! All in all, it will be the best thing for our family. Please pray for us to have the strength to face the challenges ahead.
I haven't done much crafting or any redo's lately, much too occupied with everything else. Hopefully in the near future I will have something to share.

Have a GREAT weekend!

Necchi BU Nova sewing machine

Okay, ladies I need your help! I bought a Necchi BU Nova series sewing machine at an auction for $5 it is in a cabinet and it does run. I need help on threading it and adjusting the tention and feed. I am a new sewer so I don't know much about it. My mom came over to help and we can't get it so I need your help! If you can help in any way I would appreciate it!

Thanks,

One of My "Other" Passions

My oldest daughter turned 8 yesterday...my how time flies! I get so caught up in the hustle and bustle with the daily chores, preparing meals, homework, all the things that mommy's do I forget to treasure each and every day with my kids. They grow up so fast!

Now onto my other passion. I love photography! I have been looking into taking some classes, trying to find a photography club or something to help me gain the knowledge I need to pursue this hobby. I just like taking pictures and with the right knowledge I think I could be pretty good. I would ultimately love to do photography and prims to help bring in some $$. I have talked with a photgrapher that I met via her blog and she was self taught and has encouraged me to persue more. I just need to learn the know-how and practice...practice...practice! Not to mention buying an AWESOME camera. Hopefully I can stay focused and make this a reality! Here a few of pics of my kids that I took thiss past summer and fall.

As you look at the pictures please don't judge too harshly, just remember I am not a pro. I just like pretty pictures!

Thanks for looking!

Have a HaPPy Wednesday!
