YAY! im so excited.....
this is the second time one on MY photos, of GRAMMA HARV'S hats, has been accepted by CRAFTGAWKER!

oh, and by the way, this hat is absolutly adorable...

in case you were wondering...

HATTITUDE!

thats what it is!

this is a perfect example of how you can give twelve different people a piece of yarn or a scrap of wool, and tell them each to make a hat. each one is amazingly different, and beautiful in its own way.

thanks so much kittykent for including us in the marvelous treasury!

birthday pie

well, i decided i better not let my dh show me up....and further more...one pie surely will not be enough for all the birthday party attendees ...so, i made mini cherry pies, terry style!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!

MAMA LOVES YOU!

breaking tradition?

is it legal?

is a birthday really a birthday without a cake?

so, i know how tempting apple pie is,

 but is it REALLY a substitute for birthday cake? really?! i'm serious! its birthday CAKE, not birthday pie!  don't get me wrong. i love pie. just not birthday pie.

ok?


so, what does my little one ask for on her birthday?
you named!
PIE
 *rolling my eyes*


what is a mother to do if she can't make a birthday cake?
its one of the things i REALLY love to do for my kids
hey, i even like to pretend that i'm pretty good at it.


no glorious cakes. no messy frosting. no creativity.
just pie.


now for the really, really bad part.
i went birthday shopping, and guess who made the pie?


(which, by the way, is the cutest thing you've ever seen)


yup.
he's awesome!  i love him.

take a peek

at this lovely treasury click and comment and stop by peaseblossomstudios to say howdy!

soo....

if i was to convince gramma harv it was time for us to do a giveaway...which hat would YOU like to win?  i've got something fun up my sleeve ;o)

monday madness

...no time to waste around here...

but i thought i'd share a few of gramma's latest creations to brighten up your day.

pretty in pictures

...but WOW!

 this has some serious potential for disaster!

bearing this in mind, i bit the bullet (with my mom's help) and ventured out into a new world....

the world of a pioneer woman. HA!

yeah, i pictured my self in a soddy, with only a pot and my few treasured cucumbers and zucchini...(which i lovingly cared for from the day the were carefully planted in the warm earth)...preserving them for a long cold winter.

reality check.

i crossed my fingers and closed my eyes when i haphazardly spread seeds into my garden.

these veggies miraculously pushed their way through my over fertilized soil....survived a jungle of weeds, an over abundance of summer rain, too  little sunshine, 12 tiny feet, the blight, and even the deer!

yes,in spite of me, my veggies survived.

God is good.

so now, with my packet of pickle seasoning from wally's world and my measly 12 jars i proudly present my first canning event.

 pathetic, yes.

oh, i'd be sooo lost if it wasn't for modern conveniences.

but, i get so excited every time i glance behind me and see those jars sitting so neatly on my counter.

 i'm so proud of myself...

oh, and my mom too, cause if she wasn't there, i surely would have lost all courage, and canned the whole idea!

a special day
