Busy is not even close

I am amazed I haven't started a friction fire with how much crocheting i have done in the last two weeks. I am so excited to be getting to do the Ada Fair with Margie. It is a huge opportunity for both her and I. Not only to get our name out there but to hopefully make some money for bills. With winter approaching ... yes summer won't last forever....my order book is filling up but I would love for it to be so full I have to close it to catch up. LOL! Maybe one day. :D

In other news....

Mom got a new car. It is awesome and she is so happy about it.

The AC in the main part of the house went out today BUT luckily it was a cheap fix. Thank goodness!!

Dave made me these awesome hat stands for the fair......

 

He did such an awesome job!!!

Not much else has been going on.Hopefully I have TONS to tell you about after the fair!!

For now .... Night My Freaky Darlings

I am here I swear!

So ya I have failed again to update my blog.... I used to be so on top of it too.

Life has been ... .... well HOT. Okieland has seen triple digits all summer and our electric bills show it. We have been hiding indoors all summer. We have finally seen some rain the last few days and that has helped for our digits to be in the upper 80s low 90s. YAY!!!

The heat has allowed me to crochet A LOT. It has also aided in our netflix addiction. LOL! Mom got us hooked on Eureka. Then of course when we catch up with it and can watch it on tv.... they cancel it!! GRRR! She is in love with netflix tho... and I love to see her smile.

Our poor garden adventure has been dashed due to the heat. It is holding on for it's life but hasn't produced much. :( Hopefully next year is better. Altho i am curious to see how our sweet potatoes do ... they have taken over a whole 6 foot bed.

School starts on Monday for us. I think we are all excited. This is Adam's Sr. year, Beth's Sophomore year ..... *sigh* .... how time flies. Harli is ready to get her year started and if she stays on this track we might get her a year ahead of what she should be.

Other news....

~Mom wrecked her car. She is fine but we are all on pins to see if they total her car or fix it.
~Mom went to the doctor shortly before her accident and was told she has 3 bulging vertebrate in her neck and 4 in her lower back. She has an appointment with a spinal doc soon to find out what needs to be done.
~Dragon's mom has had a rough summer. She has been diagnosed with MS. We have asked that everyone lift her up in thought and prayer for this news is a lot to handle.
~Dave's mom is in NY for the summer holiday. She will be coming home soon. We have missed her.
~My sister Sarah is going through some life drama. We have been lifting her up and hoping everything works out.


Lots of prayers and energy being sent out from our lil family this summer. Between rain, family, family overseas in the military and our government our candles seem to be burning non stop.

BUT for now I am going to call it a night. I have to prop shoot all my fall line tomorrow and get things ready for class come Monday.

Night my freaky darlings!!!

time

Today has been a eye opener on how precious time is. We take it for granted and think we have all the time in the world.... we don't. It slips through our fingers quicker then water or grains of sand. If we could only turn back time and make the changes we so desire today.

Dragon's mom was diagnosed with stage one M.S today.....
Tomorrow a new found friend goes in for another round of chemo....

Time.........

It is going to take time to understand this.
It is going to take time to fight this.
It is going to take time to just wrap our heads around the idea that it is time we make life changes.

We speak so much of how we need to do things as a family again. Dinner on Sunday or a cook out some Saturday afternoon. We need to get proactive and make the time for these things NOW.

I am not saying this because someone is sick... I am saying this because time is slipping by us and we are just letting it happen.

My kids are not babies anymore....

I am now the age of my mother is when I look back in my minds eye and recall all those family events.....

Time.......

So today I am sitting down with our calender and I am going to make family event dates. I am going to send out invites and I am going to have family time.

You have all been warned.

In Love and Light,
Christi

Good grief has it really been this long with no post from me?? I guess it has....wow Thanksgiving was the last time I posted.

Hmm well not much has happened this year. Honestly it has been a lot of recovering from the pipe disaster from last year. It is amazing how much stuff is accumulated over a 13 year time. We still have yet to get my mother's sewing area complete but that is mostly due to her not really doing much to get it done. I would do it all but I have no idea how she wants things set up ... I don't sew.*giggles* Wait....do buttons count? Didn't think so.

I did do one thing that is HUGE. I started a FB page and now a blog to show off my crochet projects. I have been having such a wonderful time sharing my creations with people. I had forgotten how much I love to crochet.

Other then some drama which I will spare you all of... I will only say it IS the best thing to happen in my life.*snicker*

So I need to get off here and go help with dinner. Something very easy tonight... mashed potatoes and smoked sausage. Sorry it wasn't a more flashy dinner but it is freaken hot in Oklahoma.

Stay cool my freaky darlings.
