Well Friday we had a thunderstorm going on here.I was sitting at my computer posting.That takes me about 30 mins or more.My son came in the room and says.Mother you shouldn't be on the computer while its a thunderstorm.I said okay all have to do is push publish and I am done.Then a big loud boom sound came.All the lights and computer went out.To make a long story short we had no electricity that day until the next afternoon!!!So that after noon tried to get online to start all over posting.Then the Internet and cable tv went out because of the storm.That was down until that evening.So I am just now able to get on the computer to post!!!Well at least today is a nice sunny day!!


Also Thursday had to sign my dd up for pre-school.What ever happen to pre-school being a half a day.After filling out all the papers.The teacher said she will be going to school from 8:30am to 3:00 pm.I said what, its not a half a day!!!No its a full day.Why did I feel like taking those papers back and saying I changed my mind!!:(I am not ready for my baby to go to school for a full day!!!!My dh said I am not ready, so he said he will take her on her first day of school.He feels I will scare her if I start to crying!!!:(







Well last Thursday night was a winner for my son's football team.The score was 48 to 16.These kids played a good game.My son sack the quarterback twice.Want to see it got a picture of it!!!!He is number 38.Yes I am a proud parent!!I lost my voice after that game!!!!!





Finished crocheting my dh hat for the football games.All I have to add is the tassel.Haven't been doing much sewing lately.I have been trying to get our hats done for the football season.I will be getting back to sew to make some clothes for my dd for school.



Well that's it for me today.I hope everyone have a great day!!

My niece!!

Well my niece was with us for a week.This girl is going to be a comedian one day.She is so funny.My dh family are known to be funny and do things to get a laugh out of you.Well they past this down to their niece who don't even live in the same state as they do,but she picked the trait up some how!!Well while she was here she wanted me to make her something.She is 13 years old this a hard age to figure out what they will like.They feel they are not a little girl anymore.So I made her the top in the photo below.Do you think it look like a top for a little girl?This girl wears the same size as her mother a size 5.When I was 13 I was not that big.These kids these days are much bigger than I was.Well I hope she likes it.
This pattern is New look 6464.So simple no notion needed.I just love super simple patterns.
