OOOOOOOH, I just love him!

I still find it hard to believe he's mine for always!

That's enough mush for the day ;)

52 Finishes: Week 6- Ruby Red Slippers

I found this pattern back in October of 2010.  I instantly fell in love.  Since making my $2.00 purchase, I have made several pairs.  These slippers have everything I never knew, I always wanted in a pair of slippers. 

I Love that they button.  I love that they are seamless.  I love that they curve with the foot.  I love how cozy and comfy they are. I love that they have a simple beauty. I love them.

Do yourself a favor, and go make a pair.  You'll love them too. Promise.

super market shenanigans Take 2

I went to the store last Saturday night. We needed cheese and poly-fil (for crafting). Normally we don't EVER run out of either. I always have a couple packages of shredded cheese, and normally a block too. Well, we were totally out. We needed cheese for about three of the recipes I was going to make this week, and one of them was for Sunday's dinner. So I had to go get some.

I'm checking out, and my checker (who had really long pretty hair, and BRIGHT blue eyeshadow) noticed I had cheese in my cart (2 packaged shredded, and one small block). She exclaimed, "whoa! You must really love cheese!" I sorta chuckled and said "I guess so." While thinking, its not that much, right... RIGHT??

Then she commented that she had invented a recipe using cheese. I said "really?" In a somewhat interested voice. She then replied in a dreamy sorta way "yeah, you take a tortilla and you put cheese in it, then you put it in the microwave and melt the cheese." At first I thought she was joking, her blue shadowed eyes looked at me in earnest. She then lamented to the fact that her new apartment didn't have a microwave. I suggested she try to cook her new recipe on the stove top. She replied that she had! And that the stove top adds a slight CRISP to her tortilla that makes it pretty much perfect. I told her she should call it a "cheese crisp" (what we call this manna from heaven in my house). She seemed awed at the suggestion and said that was a good name for it. With a smile I told her I would have to try one for myself, I paid for my large amount of cheese and walked away.

While I was driving home, I realized I had forgotten to get cereal (so I stopped at a different store and purchased some). I was thinking it was a shame I hadn't bought some at the last store. I might have been told about a new recipe that had been invented. "you take a bowl, put some cereal in it, and poor milk over it. It will blow you mind!"

52 Finishes: Week 4- Monster Daddy and Baby

I made another Monster and baby. I just can’t help myself, I LOVE them! This time I chose brighter colors and did a little different pattern on the baby. Instead of working the stockinette stitch the whole time, I “striped” the baby by doing three rows of knit, and then three rows of purl. It adds a funky texture that I think it perfect for the baby. I might even try to make a monster wife for this fellow later out of all teal. Just adding the stripes with the knit/purl. Did I mention how much I love these monsters? I really do!

10 things you never knew {you wanted to know} about me

I don't usually talk about myself on my own blog. Weird, huh? So here are a couple fun facts about just me :)

1. I hate my sandwiches cut into triangles. I mean really HATE it. Pretty much I won't eat a sandwich cut that way. I do LOVE my sandwiches cut into two rectangles- and I tolerate 4 squares.

2. I am a toilet paper snob- I buy Charmin-ultra soft. I feel like I live a life of luxury using it.

3. I love shows about animals

4. I HATE single handle faucets, especially in the shower. Darick LOVES them. It's a point we will never agree on.

5. I keep my cell phone in my bra.

6. My door is always locked- you come over to drop something off? You step inside my house for 30 seconds and turn to leave? Yeah, I locked you in. Sorry. (but not really- I'll do it again)

7. Most perfumes make me sick- like allergy sick. Sneezy. Itchy. Teary. Sick. It makes me sad, cause I like to smell good (and my bro thinks I smell like corn chips :( I don't BTW- I smell like country apple from bath and body works-mmmm) and I don't really like corn chips... unless they are used for dipping.

8. I don't request friends on facebook, I must be requested or have a friend suggested. I also frequently delete friends. Maybe I really am just a snob??!

9. I like tuna fish sandwiches with LOTS of pickles (on white or rye bread preferably)

10. I only shave my legs for 3 reasons.... Swimming, doctor appts. and when I wear shorts or a skirt- and have more than 1/8th inch growth. During the winter I pretty much let it go... Gross? TMI?
