Moving to Alaska ... not really but I wish

I have come to the understanding that I really dislike summer ..... A LOT. Ok hmm that is still kinda harsh. Ok  how is this ....I dislike any outdoor temp higher then 85. There that kinda helps me sound less of a whiny baby.... a little *sticks tongue out*. I know what you are thinking.... but Christi you would hate the freezing cold too. Meh ... maybe but I can function in the cold. It is the heat that makes me , and others in this house, less fun to live with. LOL! Grouchy and lazy and just BLAH. So to end my little whine fest .... COME ON AUTUMN!!!

School has started and life is back to our routine. We are adding an extra class to our day, kinda, ... cooking. It is more a weekend thing and more of an extra credit really but I want the girls to take it seriously so I am conducting it like a class. Today we made pretzels. It is a learning class for me too. LOL! I have never used Yeast that I had to activate before. Needless to say that with our twisted sense of humors there was a lot of " It's ALIVE!!!" being said. Harli even made a video out of the picture she took of the dough when it doubled in size. Of course she posted it on my facebook page.I think we did good. We could have left them in to darken more but we were scared we were going to burn them. I am sure we will get it perfect with practice. We will be doing them again cause we want hamburger buns. Yes Yes Yes!!!

 

 

Something else I have been up to is crocheting by number or crochet by word... goes by both names. In short I took a graph , counted it out by line and am now working it up. Here is a pic below to help you understand. I have really been having a blast making it and I look forward to making more of them. May be one day I will get gutsy and make one out of a photo. As soon as I am finished with it i will be posting the pattern for sale online for whom ever would like to make one too.

 

 

For now I am going to get to work on typing out the three receipts I am behind on for you guys. Then it is grade papers time and back to work on the other project I am working on .... sock monkey pillow pet.... another DDC original. Excited!!!

 

TTFN my freaky darlings!!!
