Yay.....Not so HOT weather is on it's way!! and the big Failure in my CraftRoom!

I am happy to write that the Heating switch that's been on these past couple of months is slowly starting to flip off!!  After weeks of temps in the 100's,  we'll be in the high 80's to low 90's by the end of the week!!  Thank GOD!!!  This drought, heat, no rain, and humidity has really kicked our butts!!  Now if it would only snow!! Ha!! That would definitely be asking for to much!!

Plus, I can get back into the garage to spray paint some of my projects that have been waiting!! ☺ You know because you should never, ever do it in your upstairs craft room, even if you have the window open for ventilation, and your hubby says he thinks it's a bad idea!! ¯\(",)/¯  <---- this is me saying...ehhh it will be fine!!

It wasn't me   <------,  lol!! 

Okay it was!  It was a big fail!!  It was just too hot in the garage, and I wasn't dressed appropriately at 1am to have the garage door open!  And by wasn't dressed appropriately I mean in my underwear jammies, hey it's my house and I want to be comfy when I create!, lol !!! 

I could have waited and done it in the day, but if you know me I'm VERY impatient, I WANT things to be done in a hurry, and I NEVER follow directions...(most of the time) lol! 

So, I had to suck it up and apologize to my hubby for the insane mistake that I made....plus I went to bed with the worst headache.  I learned my lesson and will never do that again.....maybe!!

I'll post more crafts soon!!!

Happy Sunday!! & Being featured!

Hello to everyone!! 

I hope you are having a great weekend!! 

Thinking of those who were and are being affected by Hurricane Irene!!  Thoughts and prayers to all of you! ☺♥


Well I would have posted earlier buuuuut, we just got a new mattress Friday and well we stayed in bed till about 1pm Saturday, then had to hurry up and get ready for my nieces birthday party!! Which was awesome except for the 111 temp that my phone said....ugh!! It was a scorcher!! Made it back home about 11:30pm, we were soooo tired! So we showered and went to sleep.

Any ways back to the bed......it's awesome and we've been planning on a new bed for a while now!  It's bigger and way more comfier than what we had!!  Can I again write {IT'S AWESOME}, lol!!   New sheets, new pillows aaaahhhhh!!

Also, we had our new door put in!!! It looks fabulous!  I can't wait to put on the new yarn wreath that I'm making for it! ♥


Well, other great news I'm also being featured on To Sew With Love,  so head on over there and vote!! It doesn't necessarily need to be mine but it would be great!! ☺  There are some other great stuff to vote for as well!

Also, to all my new followers:  Thank you for the follow and I am following you as well!! 

Yeah....it's hot again! and Yes, it's another post of me writing about the TX heat! Oh and caterpillars!! lol! ☺

We're breaking records here!!  This heat is getting to me!  I just want to sleep in a dark, cool room!

But sadly I have to work and I need toothpicks for my eyes!! (Φ,Φ)  Who remembers that episode from the Tom&Jerry cartoon !!  Why is it that of all of the episodes I always think of this one and the one where a little cat sings "mama yo quero"!!   <----- Weird!! lol!


Okay, back to this heat!!  Major water restrictions now, most of Houston is on voluntary odd/even schedule for watering out doors.   Since I don't live in Houston....per se....  Our neighborhood is not on water restrictions "yet"!!  There have been reports in some neighborhoods that the fine will be $10,000 if you are caught watering!! What.....that's a little excessive don't you think!!

 There's all kinds of Stages going on..... Craziness!!  We need some relief soon!!




With all the heat going on,  I have a slight little problem with a certain little insect!!!  The Caterpillar!!!  While I love nature....Really!! These little suckers (no pun intended) have literally sucked the life out of our Cypress Tree and it's the one planted in front of our house! Not pretty!  Cypress trees are supposed to be green, plush, full spears that are growing out of the ground.  (*_*) it just looks sad and pathetic!

Look at him....Chomping away on my tree! ugh!!

                                     

LOOK!!!! He or she needs to hurry up and change into a butterfly!!

When I got too close they went back into their cocoon!

What a great disguise!!  At first I thought it was the tips of the tree burning off cause of the heat.

You can see a couple here....I stopped counting a 370....so we estimate at least 500 to 600 cocoons!

During the taking of these photos, I found out there was a Yellow Jacket nest in the middle of the tree too!!  I almost got stung in the eye!!  That would not have been fun at all! 

When I first noticed the cocoons I actually thought the tips of the tree were burning off, so I started to grab them and throw them in my snipping bucket, then I thought.....it was kind of squishy.  Okay I yelped, lol!!  and threw it across the yard! lol!  This was the first clue, upon closer inspection, I saw they were moving....eeeewwww! Then I noticed the heads and little arms holding on to the plant and chomping away!!  It's crazy to see something like this happening....these little insects have disguised their cocoons with pieces of the tree - hence why I was fooled!!  Nature is awesome!!   Also, I became a little "cooler" to my nephew!!  He loves nature too....He has a no-kill policy for bugs!!  He thought it was incredible to have all this going on in front of my house!  He thinks I'm a scientist now!!  lol!!  I ♥ the mind of a 7yearold!

Yesterday, I saw about 10 to 15 orange butterflies around my passion flower and morning glory vines!!  It was amazing!!   I hope I see more today!

Texas Heat!! Scorch!! Random ramblings!

Houston, Texas  : heat index 108   ------>  this sucks!


Where is the Fall weather?  obviously not here!

I think this year I wanna host a Halloween party.....fun times!!

I'm sooooo ready to start decorating for the Holiday's!!

Maybe I should take out the Christmas tree for some pre-fluffing!!  (pre-fluffing is the only thing i hate about the artificle tree) (aaaaannnd it takes for ever...I usually start fluffing  2 weeks before Halloween!) <---- yes, i'm a loon!! lol....a Holiday loon that is!!

I still have lots of gifts to finish making <---- yes, I'm one of those!!  I like to have all the gifts done with at least by Halloween!  Hey I like to shop too.....I get gifts out of the way, so I can enjoy Holiday shopping for myself!!  Is this selfish???  Nope....it's smart!! lol!!

Ugh....this year will be over before you know it!!
