  • A bit of vacation


     We went on vacation... just a bit of what we did.  We stayed in a cabin, in the middle of nowhere, and had a really nice time!  I'll have to make a couple different posts to get more pictures in.

    This picture is by the sign of the little resort we stayed at.  Our cabin was right up the trail behind my boys.  It goes up a steep hill, and then there is our cabin.  That is the shortcut down to the lake and main lodge; there is a drive that goes up to the cabin too, but it was long and round about.  We wore this little trail out the 6 days we were there!



    The public ATV trails are right near our cabin, so we could jump right on them from our driveway.  We only have one ATV, so rides were limited.  Josie became an ATV junkie




    A bit o' hiking!!  Lots of trails from our resort... actually, hundreds of miles of trails if we wanted to hike that far!




    A view from our cabin.  The lake where much fishing happened!  I'll post a picture of Brody's 'Monster Blue Gill' in another post... it is in the freezer awaiting to be mounted.





    The girls and I took the paddle boat out, and I was testing out my new camera.  I have this picture of the lily pads on my desktop right now... just kinda artsy





    A timed portrait on one of our hikes.  Even Reba (the dog) came with us.

  • Things I've been working on...

    Hello there!  I am still around.. really, I AM!  I just haven't felt like blogging I guess.

    I have been learning to crochet this winter.  My sister came home in December, so we got some books and started working on learning how to do the crochet thing.  It has been a great 'hobby' for me, and the girls have been working on it too!!!  I've been wanting to post a few things that I have made.  I just love the satisfaction when a project is done, how it looks, knowing that I was able to follow the 'directions' and have a real outcome.

    For starters, I made  a jewelry bag and a crochet needle holder (I won't post picts of those)

    Then I decided to make some dishclothes... but I wanted something more than the normal square






    I am missing this second one.  I think a 15 month old was last seen with it, and the cloth has never reappeared since... I'm sure the land fill has it now.

    I also made a face wash cloth, and I made it in a bobble stitch.  That was really fun, but I don't have a picture of it.


    So this last week I got my 4 impacted wisdom teeth out, and had nothing else to do except sit and heal up.  TV was driving me nuts, so I pulled out my crochet stuff.  Here are the things I made (most of them anyways)







    I was really excited at how the hat turned out!!  It is a little big on the kids, but fits an adult head perfectly.  It was really a lot of fun!  My husband had picked up the yarn at a resale shop, so there is no duplicating the hat with the same yarn.  bummer.  I'd love to make matching ones like this for all my girls.

    I got online and printed out all kinds of free directions on making different flowers.  In all, I experimented with 7 different flowers.  Flowers are just so fun, quick, and neat to look at when finished!!

    That's all for now.  I have another couple of blogs I need to post, and get some pictures of the kids up.  It really HAS been too long!  They grow so fast!

About Me

  • I am a stay at home mom of 5 precious children, and a help meet to my husband. I love my Lord and Savior who is full of grace and mercy. I am undeserving to be loved by my Savior, but because of His mercies and grace, he Loves me, and has saved me!! Praise the Lord for that! I am striving daily to be more like Him, and learning His ways. What a refining process this is, and I just pray that I might be used for His Glory!
