YUMMY!!!

For Dustin's birthday he wanted something different. SO with a deep sigh we went through our cookbooks and all the different ideas that we have either tried once or never tried before. Gratefully it didn't take us too long to come up with his yum dish.
Muffaletta!

Its a southern sandwich that is filled with a lot of cheese and meat.


On our muffaletta: Mozzarella, smoked ham, hard salami, provolone, prosciutto, black and green olives, olive oil and the secret indgredient!!!!! Olive salad. ( you can buy it premade, but there are some websites that have the recipe for it) All this was placed in between the most delish bread, foccocia. I made this three hours before eating, since you want the juices to saturate throughout the whole sandwich!

The day after is even better!!!

Playtime with Daddy

Finally a post that has nothing to do with me or crafting or fashion!! I bet thats what you said! And if you are bummed, then I promise to post something soon.

There is not much in the world that tickles my heart as much as watching my kids love on their big strong daddy. They tackle and tickle. They giggle and scream with glee. Spending time with daddy has got to my kids top favorite thing to do. I don't mind either. I spend every day with them! So when Dustin gets home they stand at the window stomping their feet and screaming "DADDY'S home! " at him. Isaac cries if he has to go back outside to get something from his truck. Dustin is really loved! I encourage it too. I want my kids to make daddy coming home a big deal. I imagine that it won't be that way forever.

Dustin's attention and love is so important to those kiddos. Thinking back to my growing up days, I really see how the love and care my dad showed me, is why I can look at God as my loving daddy so easily.

SO, play away kids, play away!

felt and cloth transformed

When my creativity is flowing I get all kinds of ideas. This is my latest. My poor bible! Its a hard cover that is just in tatters. When I look at it I usually stick out my bottom lip and think that It looks so dilapidated. Sadly, its from me being a picker! I pick at the clear plastic top and then and edge appears and I just don't stop picking.( i have the same problem when it comes to my cuticles..hence I chew them to pieces! )

So I had an idea to cover all my rapidly breaking down cover. Here is where felt and cloth combine to create... MY BIBLE COVER!!! yeah me! Just measured it up to see how much I would need then got out the handy dandy sewing machine and wa la!!!!

TKO -todays kickin outfit

I was pretty excited when I put this outfit together. I had been wearing my new dress that I just made when Kyla went into my closet and started pulling stuff out asking me to put it on. The skirt was the one item I stopped on. I have had this skirt for over 3 years! I got it at a thrift store after I had kyla cuz it was heading into summer and I just wanted to feel pretty post pregnancy. Well, this skirt needs to be taken in now, its just too big, but I was able to whip up a whole new outfit that I have never worn. Again found a treasure in my closet!Thank you God!

wearing: cardigan, belt, tight:Target, blue beaded braclet(actually a necklace): Amazima Ministry, Necklace: Serindipity Thrift Store, shoes: Thrifted, Skirt and tank: mine

I was drinking out of this cup and had to smile at what it said. I hope that I can live up to this lofty verse!

I really enjoy changing my look daily. And there is one way I really enjoy changing my look with MAKEUP!. This sassy rouge is what I am wearing today!

Just remember this rule! If you want to wear something this bold everything else should stay neutral. Or you may look like a circus performer!
