One more

I have a funny picture for y'all. My sister back in May took this picture of me trying to take pictures of the Salt Lake City Utah Mormon Temple GO HERE to see it.

While I was trying to sew my sisters diaper bag my girl was crawling all over me! She was like a baby monkey clinging to her momma's back. My mom took this picture.



Not an attractive picture of me AT ALL but I thought it was funny. Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do to get things done! haha

PS I think my COMPUTER is what is wrong with the way the photos keep uploading. The reason I say so is because all of the sudden facebook is loading my pictures sideways too....strange....

Experimenting

I am experimenting tonight with my picture uploading. my friend suggested I try picasa so tonight I think I will. I am crossing my fingers this works well for me.

Here is more Halloween costumes. My sister Kristy has lived in Utah for the last 9 years or so. My other sister Kim has only been here a little over a year and I only lived here for 4 months when Cody and I first got married. I have ALWAYS thought the women here have a strange fashion sense. In fact my husband live here his whole life until we moved to Texas 6 and a half years ago and he hates it too. We call the "bump" on the back of the head with hair "Utah hair" :) Don't be offended if this is you I am talking about....if you live here it's normal. If you don't...welll...it's not. haha They have BIG hair in Texas too, it is just a different kind of big. ANY WAYS My sister Kim, the one who has lived here a year or so, decided to be a Utah Housewife for Halloween and it was hilarious. We do however realize that no one but US got it, and most people probably thought she looked cute. heehee Here is a picture of her "costume"



I have another picture of her whole body on my phone I will email myself later so I can post. She also has the skinny jeans on with boots on top of them and a huge black leather purse! You can't tell in the picture but her hair is HUGE up top and she was a bunch of Twilight pins on her shirt. She also painted her nails a dark color. Tyler kept asking her, "Aunt Kimmie where is your costume" We kept trying to explain it but it was lost on him! haha

Picasa wouldn't work for me either...I just can't figure computer crap out I guess so I switch it back to the old up loader. I am SAD about it because it makes the pictures so much smaller BUT I am happy that I can at least put more pictures up with out them being turned the wrong way! Here are a couple more from Halloween









WOW! I forgot how much slower the old uploader is too.....

SO Boring

I apologize for being so boring lately! I am so busy here in Utah and when I DO have time to do stuff it goes by so quick that the blogging is effected. Also I have been sewing a lot but then, I haven't at the same time. I sewed a purse this week but I can't post pictures until my friend gets it in the mail. Until then, how about some Halloween pictures?! I decided at the last minute to be a witch. I had just bought a black dress at the thrift store and on impulse a couple of weeks ago I bought a short black wig at walmart. Now all I needed was black leggings and a witch hat. Seems easy enough right?! WRONG! I wanted a SIMPLE black witch hat. ALL I could fin were these 10 to 15 dollar hats that had feathers, glitter or BOTH! Finally I went to Walmart and found one that I actually LOVED! I was sad I had to pay 9 dollars for it BUT I am going to re-purpose it sometime this week and make something cool out of all the stuff on top of the hat.

I STILL can NOT figure out why bloggers new uploader will NOT let me post pictures that are up and down. I am about to go back to old the one but I don't want to because the pictures post so small but I am SICK of it turning my pictures! GRRRRRRRRRRRR

MAN I WANT TO SCREAM!  Now it won't let me upload anything.....I am gonna kick my blogger in the butt one of these days....well.  Until someone can give me some advice on how to fix my stupid blog or until I can figure it out ( which could be a while because I SUCK at computer stuff ) I'll have to post more later.  BOOOOOOOOOOOO

Busy

Man have I been busy! I haven't even been on the internet since Thursday ( GASP! ) Friday morning we packed up the car and drove to California to go visit Daddy for the weekend. He spoiled us and it was lots of fun. Today we packed up the car and came home. I am TIRED. Tomorrow....I planon getting back into sewing. I have started cutting out a purse for my friend Sarah whose birthday was 2 weeks ago....I told her it would be late but I was hoping it would have been done already. This week FOR SURE! :)

More?

Okay so who here is sick of the hat already? I apologize in advance for those raising their hands because I have another one to show y'all AND another one I WANT to make that will be SO cute when I can get around to it. The one I did today is for my niece Madison. It was her birthday and since we are not in Texas right now, we missed it. What a bummer. Her favorite color is GREEN but I had a hard time finding cute green material. I finally settled on some brown and blue and grabbed some plain green as an accent. I think it turned out WAY cute. I measured my boys head since he is a year younger then Madison and it was like half an inch smaller then mine! haha SO I modeled the finished product. Isn't it cute?

SEW Busy

I have been sewing a lot lately.  I sewed the hat from the last post for my daughter and then I started on a diaper bag for my sister.  She got ot pick out the fabric and decided on a zebra print and black bag.  She told me she liked my skull diaper bag and wanted one to be the same.  The bad news for me was that I made the skull diaper bag by myself so I didn't have measurements or anything like that to go off of.  Because of that, the bottom turned out a little off but the overall bag I think was cute. 

Does anyone know why blogger keeps turning all of my PICTURES!  It is driving me CRAZY!

I also bought this super cute hat for the baby

I am SERIOUSLY annoyed about the pictures turning.....GRRRRRRRR

My mom made a boyu verison of the Jack and Jill hat for my future nephew.  It turned out REALLY cute.

Jack and Jill Hat

Izzy and Ivy has really cute designs!  I have seen the Jack and Jill hat before and thought it was adorable but I am kind of a price snob!  I HATE spending more then like 6 or 7 dollars on a pattern.  This one was 13.  YIKES!  Well, I got to my moms and she said, "Check out the cute hat pattern I bought!"  Low and behold it was the Jack and Jill hat by Izzy and Ivy!  YEAH!  She has not tested it yet so I decided to be her pattern tester while she was working on a quilt for my future nephew.  I decided to use an old pair of jeans and some left over material from Kayla's baby quilt my mom made her.  OH MY GOSH it turned out SO cute!  Check it out

I wanted the center of the flower to be the jean material but the dumb button kit I bought would NOT work with the jean material. I just love how it turned out. I think it is adorable. NOW if ONLY I could get Kayla to wear it! HAHA
