happy halloween

seven really is heaven

As many of you already know I come from a pretty big family... and I love it!! I decided that since there really isn't anything interesting happening in my life (I go to school, come back, do homework, play with Jayne, eat dinner, play with Darick and go to bed) however, I grew up with some amazing siblings! Here is a sista spotlight... lets start with...
Kimberly (kimmie) - mother of 5, professional gamer, cook and art collector. she should have her own TV show, or write a book about her kids, because holy cow they have some funny thoughts. she has some pretty sweet hair, and everyone calls her for advice- or if you want to know anything about anyone else in the family-she knows all

Shaina (na) - mother of 4... Can do anything (seriously think of it, and she could do it, she might need to be taught first...but she could do it), photographer, artist, and writer. she just moved closer so i get to visit now... we're gonna have some pretty sweet timesShavonne (saw-bone-ey) - almost my doppelganger, we're both married to a Darick (Derek), her name's wood, mine is carpenter, and we both like to do the same things... shavonne is a nurse too, she brings babies into the world, she's also the only full blown red head in the fam- try to top that

Courtney (I just call her Courtney) - an interior designer, momma of 3, says some funny things "we're gonna play tennis!" she also can tell some sweet stories, and her acting abilities are phenomenal

Rebekah (reba) - momma of 2, rebekah always does the coolest stuff, she travels, and knows tons of kids songs, and she’s also full of energy and does awesome impressions. reba just moved back too, i'm so excited because i'll get to see her more too, i mean just look at that face, we've had some sweet times together (juice boxes and nora jones)

And Nancy (nanna)- she’s the baby of the family and everyone loves her. she's sweet and kind, and has such a cute giggle. she's a little sassy too. She also has really cool "collections" (Elvis and super heroes) she’s pretty much the coolest person you'll ever meet

this one's for jayne

here is a really cute hat pattern, isn't it cute on jayners...she's keeping this one though:) however if you want me to make you one... well you'd have to pay me (i can do any size, including adult). or you could learn to crochet and make one yourself, even better!

PS- i just clipped on one of jayne's hair flowers... i though it looked fall-ish

i can look like a professional:)

I would say that I am a silly person, I like to do crazy things, I like to laugh, and I like to joke around... but I can do serious:) At school they keep telling us we need to be more professional, this means no more jeans and t-shirts (which is basically my wardrobe) and my name is Mrs. Carpenter, not Sharon. Well, this is me as a teacher... wouldn't you want to take my class? It would be AWESOME!!

Happy Birthday Nanna!!!

Nancy is the big 17- she's practically an old lady!!

ps- those that want the hat pattern i use i got it from this blog http://crochetpatternsonly.blogspot.com/2007_02_18_archive.html

and then i changed it up a bit, but this is a really good pattern

by their fruits ye shall know them

i would say that if anyone just happened to be blog hopping and landed on mine, they would view me as... well maybe a 45 year old woman. not that this is a bad thing. maybe i'm really am an old lady at heart... but the good news is, some day i'll grow into it:)

Here are my latest hat creations (i was talking on the phone with shaina when i made the brown one with the pink flower.... it's called "the na")
here is jayne modeling "the na" she aslo has a little dollie named "wow poppy" at least that's what she says when she's playing with it (get the pattern here)
and here is a bunch of produce... peaches, pairs, apple pie filling, salsa, and strawberry jam... my in-laws and i were cookin!! so that's some cool things i've been working on

i've also been crazy busy at school, i think it's going well, but nothing really interesting to blog about... so i guess this is where this post ends.

missin' me?

i know, i'm just busy with school... i'll see what i can do:)
