Sock Bun....

Looks funny. But the point isnt really to look good. I tried this yesterday to curl my hair. Daddy loves if I curl my hair but I personally find it a waste of time. I am a 'just get it out of my way' kinda girl. They say to put it up like this then go to bed. But I don't like my hair down. And my hair doesnt hold curl well. He is the one that likes to see it so wearing it in the day and down at night is perfect for us. I get it up and out of the way in the day while he is gone. He gets to see it down with curls at night. ;)
    It is up again today. I will post a curl picture later.

Dorito Chicken....YUM!

 Yummy! We love this meal! Leftovers survived to be eaten at breakfast....

                              This not a good for you meal.... 

But sure tastes wonderful...  I have tried to make healthier versions... But uhhhh no thanks. This wins.

                        The recipe is so simple it barely qualifies as a recipe....

2 bags Doritos
2 1/2 LBS of cooked Chicken
2 cans of Rotel (I would do 3 but Daddy likes his chips crunchy still.... )
1 LB of Cheese. ( This here is sharp cheddar, no dyes)

Bake til melted. And enjoy! Yummers!

Wish I had made more....

And she calls him Thunder...

Didn't get great pictures but this is Pear-O's new Colt. He is cute. A bit skiddish just coming off his Momma. He was born in August. Very fun. And we like that she has to work to 'make a horse'. He will be loved and adored. He is, rather.  And is great motivation to get things done! School and chores should be faster with a cute guy to go visit!

Quilts...

After getting the quilt frame and then making two quilt blocks for a quilt we (ladies in the community) are making for a wedding couple. I am hooked on quilts. Really hooked. We went to a local quilt shop and bought fabric and Eleanor Burns book Irish Chain in a day. Looks simple enough. Yet not too plain.
   We washed our fabric. Then Ironed (ICK! Really do not like to iron.)  Cut our strips for the 9 patches. (Pattern goes 9 patch- solid, 9 patch- solid) 
  We then sewed our strips together.  Next comes ironing down our seams. (can I say ick again?)  In the bottom picture we folded our strips to show us what a 9 patch would look like in our fabrics.  My quilt is the purple. I am making King sized for my bed. I have big plans to make us all nice quilts... But think finishing this one is the most important right now. ;)

The Quilt frame...

My Daddy had asked if I wanted a quilt frame he had made. I was glad to have something he made. And said YES! Homemade items are so special to me! I had no idea there was a quilt on it. My husband and brother loaded it in our van and I never saw it til later. I was thrilled to see the quilt! I just wish I knew who made it! I have a couple ideas but nothing for sure. Wish I had my Grandma here to tell me. :( Miss her terrible.
    But this is one of my very favorite treasures! My girls and I are going to finish quilting it. Then we are going to cuddle in our family Heirloom! Ahhh.... Isnt it a beautiful gift!
