This and That

My Girls Hugging on Valentines Day...Can You feel the love?Princess Gracie in her new Princess DressShe insisted I get a picture of her Crown.This is how a princess holds her dress to walk upstairs. She was very serious when showing me how to do this. (Apparently she is a very talented tap dancing princess too)

I have been sick for about the last week. Burt swears up and down that I have major issues and have no immune system what so ever, I simply blamed my busy life and let it go. He told me I needed to eat more things off the floor or go eat some deer poop and that would solve my lack immunty. As hillarious as he thought it was, I though it was disgusting and shuddered at the thought. Even though I was sick I have had a fantastic crafty DIY week.

I refinished an old piano bench that I picked up at the DI for $6. It was ugly and now its teal. I mean all I really did was spray paint it with a can that claimed the color was "Lagoon" But I still like it and gives Burt a place next to his chair to put his cereal bowl, drink, wii remote, whatever.

I love "Lagoon " Paint.

I am so excited because I finally got a chance to re-order some scentsy..... My house is a lil bit stanky (not really, it just doesn't smell delicious like mocha-doodle or sugar cookie) and I have cleaned my house so maybe the idea of a yummy smelling clean house was in order.

I was wondering through Hobby Lobby the other day... as I usually do every time I go to Logan, and I found myself looking at a rack of books. Books on DIY weddings, making fondant cakes, beadwork, scrapbooking for St. Patty's Day and I came across a book that I have fallen in LOVE with. Sewing Bits & Pieces- 35 Projects Using Your Fabric Scraps By Sandi Henderson. Having a garbage bag full of scraps from my different projects I have worked on over the 3 years I have been back I was intrigued. Flipping through the pages I found two tutorials on how to make a stuffed Owl and a Stuffed Bunny. Well think about buying a scentsy buddy but not wanting to dish out the $50 for each of girls I thought why not make them these cute stuffed animals buy the scentsy packs and make a pouch to put the smell good in and then there bedroom would smell good too. So I did and this is what the finished product looks like. They love them and they seriously only took me about an hour each. Ahhh, I love easy.

I have been working on Skirts Skirts Skirts for my girls since it is going to be a skirt kinda spring. They definitely look like they are home sewn but the girls chose the fabric and they love them so far. Still have alot more to work on but here is a begining look at what we have gotten done.

Gracie wanted this Purple Sparkly Ballerina Fabric and points to the Blonde and says this is gracie and the brunette and says this is sister and the lil black girl and says this is mommy, I guess there wasn't a red head. Gracie Also wanted this Lil' Mermaid Fabric. Ever since her grandma bought her Lil' Mermaid Panties she has been way into her. She asked me the first time she wore them, "Mommy, when you were a lil girl, did you have Lil' Mermaid panties too?" Somewhat shocked and thinking about it I answered, "Yes, I am actually pretty sure that I had Lil' Mermaid Panties growing up too"
What a cheeser. Burt Said She Looks like a Pliglet. (Coming from an FLDS fam I guess this is there slang for a polygamist kid)FOR THE REVEAL.... One of my Bustle Skirts...... Totally cute, frilly and Girly. Irie looks so sweet. Pigtails and skirts..... totally girl. She doesn't stand very still so getting photos of my Sweet irie can tend to be a challenge. She has a ballerina skirt that matches her sisters too.

I recently bought a waffle maker and am so in love..... My family is big into breakfast so buying a waffle maker for waffles is delish and super easy..... But having a waffle maker for brownies.... WHAT? say it isn't so! I mixed up a regular brownie mix put it in the waffle maker for about 5 mins and poof, you already have hot brownies that are yummy. and doesn't everyone like the brownies on the side of the pan? This is like that... BUT ALL OVER! A Little icecream and chocolate syrup and voila a delish brownie waffle treat that took no time at all..... Seriosuly! I think I am going to try chicken and waffles next.

I am only 7 days away from getting on a plane and flying to Vegas. I have my sitters figured out (Thanks Grandma, Grandpa, Papa, and Grandma Great! You are amazing. I hope you get some great quality time with the girls and are ready to send them home as fast as you can by the time we gat back ;))On The agenda...... Gambling, Going out dancing, eating, swimming, go to the Jabawokeez, maybe another show if we have time, golfing, I'm enjoying a spa treatment or two, and roller coasters. Can't wait. My anniversary is going to be amazing!
