It has been one loooooooooooong week.   I'm so ready to relax this weekend.  Well kind of...I have some studying to do since next week I have finals.  Who's ready for a break <ME>!

I want to wish everyone a happy and safe weekend.

This is what's been going on in my world......

Hi everyone.....yes I'm here.  I've been so busy with school and work I haven't had time finish any of my latest project or to even write a post.  School is crazy busy....lots of studying and tests - my brain really hurts.  And work....oh my!!  Thank goodness this is a short week, plus the hubs and I are on vacation next week.  Yay!!  

I want to thank everyone for visiting and staying with me....I haven't lost anyone yet. ☺

Well here are some pics to share what I "have" been up to lately.....if you follow me on Instagram then you've probably already have seen some of them.  Sorry this post is picture heavy and some pictures are not the best.

My b-day was on 2/20 and my besties b-day was on 2/15, her gift to me was a night of painting and drinking....well not so much drinking of alcohol, more water.  We were driving separate cars so we couldn't drink. 

My gift to her was half of the "Best Friend" charm from JamesAvery, this is my half.  I had a few charms put on my bracelet this past month.  The "I♥Crafts" was from my sweet hubs.

These two charms were from my brother and his family.... "PreciousAunt" because I am the coolest auntie around and "SweetTea" because I do brew a pretty darn good batch of tea! (",) 

Yes, I got my birthday crawfish boil with all of the fixings!!  Thank you hubs they were sooooooo delish!

Here is my niece Milan at the crawfish boil.  Isn't she the cutest! She's 2 1/2 going on 18, the little diva.  

Glad to spend time with my sisters! I love them! 

and my lil "big" brother!

All the hard work in the back yard is paying off....look at all the flowers that are blooming. 

Knock out roses, dianthas, poppies, Yellow Ladybank roses and lots of other stuff too.  We are currently having our patio built, so I can't wait to be out there hosting something or just relaxing with the hubs. 

Weekend watching movies and eating icecream....could there be anything better?

Sunday morning breakfast for the hubs and I - making pancakes from scratch.....yummy!

Thanks for stopping by! 
I'm trying not to be a blog slacker, lol!!! So I'm attempting to come up with a blog schedule.  Key word "attempting".....we'll see how it works out.

TTFN ♥

I'm back from my vacation!

Hi everyone.... you probably didn't even realize I was gone.  That's fine, lol!!  

Well I did actually take a vacation and just added another week.  Can I be honest, It was awesome not being on here.  I didn't have to worry about posting or creating or doing the mad rush to add my new project to linky parties.   Sometimes the blog can just take over your whole life and I realized I didn't want that to happen.  If you do come by to check out my projects you know I try to post one once a week....with a few random posts here and there.  Well I'm going to have slow down on posting a project every week.  In my head I was thinking maybe once every two week.  Still thinking about it.

Well I just thought I would update you all about my decisions.  I won't be totally gone!!  I might just be in a rut....who knows.

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll post again later.

The jeans, the holes and the repairs.

My goodness I have been a slacker with my posts.  I try to post a project every week, but my mid week posts have been sad and lacking.  I guess I'm in a funk....I don't know.  I just haven't had anything that's really exciting going on.  Well besides my weekly projects My weekends are filled with birthday parties, different events that our family is having....this past Saturday was the first free Saturday that I've had in a looooooong time. I am super tired, so I took advantage.  It was really nice to not have to worry about stuff.  

I can definitely feel the Summer coming, It's hot now and I don't feel like doing anything!!  Sunday I was in the yard and just about passed out.....that's no fun.  I told theHubs I can't wait for the Fall to get here.  Which really isn't saying much for the Gulf coast of Texas.  I meant slightly cooler Fall weather.

Okay, enough blubbering from Fifi.  Here's what I worked on with my new embroidery floss.  My niece has a favorite pair of jeans...she luuuurrrves them! A lot!  The only thing wrong with them is the holes...or the ever soooo present cool looking "hey I paid mega bucks for my jeans to look like they were run over by a tractor, slept with the pigs and chewed up by goats" look.  I have no kids but I have teen nieces and nephews and some of these clothes they buy is crazy expensive and they look horrible.  I know I'm not the only one to think that, Right?   Well she asked if I could do something about fixing a couple of holes with patches.  Since she knew she could never wear them to school showing skin on her thigh or her knees.  I told her I'd see what I could do.  I didn't want to do iron on patches.... lame-o, and I couldn't fit the legs onto my sewing machine. 

So, I decided to add some embroidery!

oh....the pretty colors

I found some scraps that were cute in color and big enough to fit into this small hoop.  Getting the hoop on was a bit of a challenge....this girl has some skinny legs...lol!!

Once the hoop was on, I decided to draw something out on craft paper, I decided on a heart. 

 I cut it out and pinned it to the jean where I wanted to have it. This patch is just under the pocket on the thigh.

I made a stem stitch for the heart and little blue knot stitches for the bottom part of the patch.  You can see that the heart was not big enough for the whole patch. I did that on purpose....I drew a bigger heart but it just didn't look right.  Not for the slim leg jean...this narrow heart worked perfectly.

See the little knot stitches?  Well I'm sure you do.  I didn't take pictures of the knees but I did this knot stitch there too.

I'm really happy that she loved it.  I'll have to get a picture of them on her.

This has been the project for the week....I have some other stuff that I'm working on.  I hope to get those posted up soon. 

Everyone have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by.

Wordless Wednesday - Sort of.....

I'm right in between the 2pm and 3pm feeling.....blaaaaahhhh!! 

I wish I was on vacation already.  The hubs and I have yet to decide on this years vacation.  Hmmm...local or out of state???

Look at this....I'm a freak!!

Maybe not a freak....but a really picky eater!!  

How can I not like avocados?  This yummy goodness is just not my cup of tea!! It's just weird to me.

The avocado here was pushed out with my chop sticks!!

If it's on my food I'll just scrape it off or scoop it up and give it to the hubs. 

While doing my CSI investigative skills on myself, I've come up with an answer! 

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhh"

oops..sorry I thought I was watching the show, lol!
sigh.....only if we could all be as cool as Horatio Caine.

I'm blaming it on my mom.  Sorry mom! You forced me to eat it when I was little, just like you forced me to eat tomatoes....bleeeehhhh!! Yeah I don't like tomatoes either, but that's another story.  Mom, would and still does eat a sliced avocado sandwich - bread, sprinkled with salt and pepper.....GROSSSSSSSSSSSS!!  And my sister will eat tomatoes like she's chomping away at a apple.....double GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Turkey, Turkey, Turkey, Turkey, Turkey  ← This is my turkey chant....can you hear it! Why don't you give it a try, lol! Chant away!  I know you want to. I'm ready to grub. Ugh! why can't it be Thanksgiving already!! Hurry up and get here!

Ahem......to all the Twi-lighters, Twi-Hards, Twi-Moms, Twi-Teens, Twi-Men or whatever you are, while you're waiting your many hours in line with your friends, snacks,  twilight shirts, posters, or other.  I will be nice and toasty in my bed asleep.  I can wait till next week to watch it.  I want to enjoy the movie and not hear girls/ moms scream when Jacob Black takes his shirt off, or die hard fans snicker that this scene was not how it was in the book. For goodness sake, it's a movie! While I enjoyed the books and the movies, I'm not dreaming of becoming a vampire or being imprinted on by a wolf. So, with that being said.  Enjoy the movie and don't worry about spoiling it for me, I already know how it ends. LOL!   I personally think it's a waste to buy t-shirts, dolls or what ever else is out there.  I pay to watch the movie and I pay to buy the movie when it comes outs.  That's all they're getting from me. Yes, I admit I'm team Edward!!

Okay, I totally think Bradley Cooper is a hottie and it's fine that People magazine named him Sexiest Man. That's awesome, but my only complaint is the pic they used for the cover.....WHAT!!!! There are sooooooo many other pics that are waaaaaaaayyy sexier than that!!  Very disappointed with the pic......No wonder people are upset, he doesn't look that great.  So, I've posted a pic of him that I like!!  And I like his hair long!! YUMMY!

Have you heard!! There's a on-line boycott to remove the Kardashian's from TV! If you would like to sign the petition go here , since my last visit there are now 114,967 signatures.  It's insane! I did watch the first season of Keeping up with the Kardashians, but then there were all the other spin-offs, they take Miami, then NYC!!  To many of them is too much.  I did enjoy Khloe and Lamar's show, (1) gal I can handle.   They're people just like us, well kind of,  Not all of us have Famous sex tapes, married to basket ball stars, have perfume/clothing lines, Olympic gold medalist as a step-dad, a brother on Dancing with the stars, Modeling little sisters, one of them who turned 16 and got a 2012 black RangeRover, a crazy Momager, a douche of a baby daddy aka Scott in the family (okay who doesn't have that)....see we're just like them. <sarcasm>  


What is your opinion on it.  






Well I hope that everyone enjoys their Holiday next week.  I will not be on-line, I need a vacation from the net.  When I get back I will be posting some new items that I've been making.  Have a awesome day!
