Crochet Baby Style!

As I promised, today I will show my new crocheted creations. I made this for a friend of mine who is pregnant with her second little boy.

I made a baby blanket with a shell pattern and a little baby cap. In all it took me 3 days to make, but I didn't work on it continuously. I mainly did it in my spare time (which is getting shorter and shorter these days.)

I also wanted to let everyone know that my giveaway for the $30.00 Kroger Gift Card is still going on, so don't forget to enter or do your daily tweet. Keep your eyes open though because I have another giveaway coming up very soon. It will be one you don't want to miss. Every one loves the CSN store as much as I do I hope!

Doggy Nail Polish Is So Great!

Well, this weekend was a crazy good one! I didn't have much planed for the weekend. Hubby was going to work a little (much needed) overtime. (He was a little down over this.) I had a baby shower to go to and Will just wanted to play outside in the oh so hot heat!

Friday Hubby did his overtime and came home to a much needed rest that afternoon. He mentions to me that Saturday morning they will have someone playing at a coffee house in Lake Charles, and he wanted to go. In the end we decided to all get up early and go. This would be a perfect opportunity for Will to see someone play live (since he is not allowed in most places Hubby plays in). We planed to be home in time for the baby shower I was going to and all would be well.

We did have a good time at the coffee house and Hubby got some good info. and maybe a future gig there. But, we didn't make it home in time for the baby shower. We met up with friends of our who had tickets to a local comics show. So Hubby when to that with him and I stayed and visited with her and the kids.

I missed the baby shower, but come back tomorrow and you can see the pictures of what I made for it. She will still get them, but just later on in the week:)

I also got something I have been wanting. I got Charlotte a bottle of Color Paw. It's nail polish for dogs! She is so cute with it on, but wouldn't let me take a picture. I got it in Lilac Pearl. It's so pretty I may just put it on me too so we could match. Hubby thinks I'm a little nuts for wanting to put on dog nail polish and matching with the dog, but so what. I like the idea! Besides it's water resistant and chip resistant. It's already sounding better than people nail polish!

Thankful Thursday

The last few weeks, I have had so much happen in my life. So many good things have happened and so many much need things have come about in such unimaginable ways.

Thankful is just not a strong enough word for the way I feel! I don't even know how to describe the way I feel. God loves us so much! He has given us so much. We are in one of the hardest and worst financial problems we have ever been in, and He has still taken care of us. We have been selfish and caused a lot of our own problems, and He has still loves us. We have dreams almost bigger than our imaginations, and He still wants us. We sin and He still forgives us.

He is a great God!!! Do we deserve him? No! So, today I am thankful for Him, His Son, and all the love He has for us. Life is good when God is in it, no matter how hard it is for us to make it in this world. He is always at our side.

Thank you God!

Thankful Thursday is hosted this month by Iris at Grace Alone. Please join us and let us know what you are thankful for this week.

Birthdays! Baby Showers! Parties upon parties! When does it end?

This month my calender was so pretty and clean. Only three birthdays listed on it. Then all of a sudden the invitations and phone calls started poring in. How did this happen?

I don't hate parties. I hate having to continuously figure out what to buy other people's kids that I hardly know. I hate spending extra money I don't have on gifts and gas. So, why go do you ask? Well, I do have a child who likes parties and his birthday does come around once a year. I expect everyone to come to his party. Especially those who have kids that I attended their party. Not for the gifts or anything, but for Will's birthday experience! I want him to have a boat load of kids at his parties too!

So to all those who ALWAYS come up with an excuse of why your kids just can't make a birthday part......Don't get mad when all the other kids don't show up to your kids birthday party!!!

How rude to expect other to just come to your birthday parties when you so obviously avoid my child's parties!

Am I alone? Is this just the way I feel? I don't know about everyone else, but If I have 4 kids and you don't show up to any of the 4 birthday parties I give (I know 4 is a lot to attend, so at least make one!), then don't expect me and mine at yours. ( I know I only have one child, but I am trying to make a point here.)

Ok enough ranting. I am just so overwhelmed with birthday parties and a few showers thrown in right now on top of everything else going on. I feel the candle burning at both ends sometimes!

At least I get to work on a new baby blanket for the baby shower and Will can have a lot of fun at the birthday parties! There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
