Apron Projects

I started makein aprons its been fun here are a few.I have up for sale. For now planing on changing my stock and adding to it. Hope you enjoy if you are intrested in sporting these or maybe some other ones feel free to contact me .

It has been a while for me on sewing but its been great making these with my daughter my nephews girl friends and shareing a skill thats needed by everyone. I need to get a picture of my 10 month old great niece who crawls threw the house and stands holding my leg looking up towatch me sew. Then crawls back to threw the house to watch me pin and cut its so cute and I know she is learning. What a gift to pass on I know shes too young to run the machine but a seed is being planted in her little mind.

My son showed off his cooking skills and helped nephews girlfriend learn to make berox.It was good seeing the lessons I have done with him to beable to give to others his older cousins told him how great they was and made him feel so good nothing like being ten and teaching a grown woman how to do stuff in the kiction they had a great time . While I lost my step dad other family has came home to help and its so good to have the family together. Shareing learning and enjoying each other. Well its busy here so I better get before the day starts.

Thank you

Sorry I been busy doing my daughter duty. While I was doing it I came to a few thoughts I wanted to bring up. First we all have a life so it should not fall one one kid when there are more then one kid in a family. Families used to help each other not lay it one ones shoulders. The next one I want to say I have the greatest most understanding best husband ! Ok I may be partial but its how I feel. When I called for help he came not knowing what he could do but he helped my dad more then he thought he could and for that I thank him so. If you are lucky enough to have a great dad and him still be with you. Dont take him for granted tell him and spend as much time with him as you can.I read the short 6 sentance thing his son wrote and thought" Wow thats it really??" I could have said so much more but mom had told him he could do it. I could have said "How he was always there for us day or nite. How funny the nite I drove to thier house and woke them knocking on the bedroom window and he tried to figure out how to get threw the christmas tree to let me in lol it was in front a door we never used . How he came to hospital when I had my oldest son and was covered in greese and got it on the newborn. The nurses couldnt wash it off. How I tought him him to use the grill cause I couldnt eat anther charcole filet mignon that was no long meat but a little black bricket. How I drove him nuts bringing chickens and goats in his house cause they was sick and had to be watched but they wanted me there. How we always came and sleep at his house for christmas and spent christmas eve there so he could get the kids all excited about santa and him and dad had to help santa out the high lines one time cause they wasnt in bed so santa took out our electric . HOw he came to me to ask me to marry my mom and I got all serious and told him i would be ok with it if he got all he teeth pulled and false teeth and he did . He always keep his word. He believed a mans only as good as his word. He always had words of wisdom to share with you like eat when you are not hungry prevents you from getting hungry. Another one he liked to tell me was dont worry it never solves anything. He was a fixer wanted to fix everything and did everything but his cancer. He didn't get past 8th grade yet helped build the stuff for heat shields for nasa. His knowdge didnt come from school but the life of hard knocks. He loved to read and it didnt matter what it was .He always said a day you dont learn is a day waisted.How great he loved his grandkids and had so much he tought and more he wanted to teach. I would have said the best birthday present was when he became my dad.A daughter cant ask for more then to be told I may not have sired you but you are the best daughter a man could be given. I was so lucky that god gave me a daughter like you and being able to tell him it was an honor to be his daughter .But it was not my job to write for him So none of that was said.Thank you listioning and I will try to make the next post up beat.

Time

This week has been alittle crazy for me. I have spent alot of time trying not to cry. As I try and say see you later to every improtant person to me. I want to post today about something we sometimes take forgranted each other. If you have a partner spouse or other is what ever you are fighting about or over worth it?Cause somewere there is some one saying good bye to thiers not of thier wishes but because they are being called from this life. They would give anything to have what few minutes you are waisting on fighting over useless crap. Are you a child who is too busy for your parents or a parent thats too busy for your child some were there is a child wishing they had just a little more time with their parent of a parent with thier child. Dont waist what time you have because the time will be gone before you know it.

My step dad who has been there for me more then my father. Is fading from this life and I am watchinhg as his only birth son is missing his last days with his dad cause he is too busy. I wish for more days with him. So dont take for granted cause one day you will see the last day and time will be up. Please let your loved ones know how you feel make time to enjoy each other and not just for the holidays but everyday.

If we don't seek each monemt of our lifes then they will be lost forever for we never get them back. who we touch and how we effect them is up to us. The river of life never stops flowing it bends and twists untill it reaches the ocean and is the swallowed up. Do not waist your river.

Here everyone I been asked to talk about the farm. I am going to talk about goats and stupidity. There are goats are ment to have two teats. Having extra is a deformation doesn't help in the amount of milk or the amount of babies they can care for.It has been brought to my attion that some people are letting babies die because they dont have this deformation.While the goat with this deformation could still be a good goat and serve you well it causes problems .A baby goat may get the wrong teat and not get any milk and starve to death. So you must watch for this. If I was to get a goat with this I would band the extra teat to save her troubles later. So letting a baby goat die because its not deformed is just plain stupid.
I have been told goats are mean. NO THEY ARE NOT !! UNLESS YOU make them that way!!!!! My goats are loyal loving and caring . I have even caught my daughter napping with the goats while one stands over her making sure she is safe and one is her pillow. Boy that is mean. My billy if he gets scared hides behind me. We are talk a full grown billy.So do not believe all goats are mean!!
While yes goats are a food producing animal does not mean they should be miss treated. If you make your self a threat then you will be viewed as one. If you are good to them they will be good to you. Before you breed or by please educate yourself.

Service

My thoughts of the day.Do not take a Service job if you DO NOT want to give service and expect people to take it!!!My step dad is fighting lung cancer and his oxygen concentrator went out sat. my mom called sunday morning and reported it. On monday his rep calls and says I cant make it till weds. maybe thrusday. Well thats too long for someone to fight a concentrator thats quiting when ever it wants moms not sleeping scared to death dads not sleeping on monday they was also told to use it with out the water and he started coughing blood This is not going well his heart rate is well over 100 and wont come down hes worring about the o2. On wednesday I get a call saying help so I go over to find all this out plus more. Its been 3 months and the rep has only called once never checked the concentrator. She lives like 28 miles away and cant make it to help him in less then 4 days. So the good daughter I am I take over. He is scared now that hes not going to get service and Im going to mess things up. Of course I tell him to relax and watch the show. I call another town question one Whats the number to the office that takes complaints? Lady gives me the number with a shake voice. Question two does your office give better service then other said office? Lady I would have to say yes cause I work for this office. Going good so far Question three can you be here before 6pm it is now 3pm? Yes we can! What do you need ? I told her and new stuff was in the drive in 35 min new rep drove 32 miles from city limits to house !! Service with a smile. The new Rep gave him enough hose he can reach every part of his house even go to his own bed with his o2 !!!!!!! Well wouldn't ya know it the old rep shows up before the new one is done. Yeap she is mad gets out ready to bump bellies. Guess she was not expecting a mad daughter to be there just as ready. First words out her mouth was I'm calling regional office!!She Yea lets do that. Great Idea lady!!! First off this is not about your heathcare its his and he has a choice and what you did is not exceptable .You do not leave a man in his condition to worry if he will have o2 or not for four days! So yeah lets make that call!! He has a choice in providers and his choice is an office he can get to and that will deliver service. Oh its not your office. By the time I was done she was crying and I walked off with now Im going to go try and calm my dad now that he has o2 he can count on! After all was said and done My poor daughter who got to see how to handle people like that. Said grandma mom made that lady cry she could not see were she was walking for the tears. Grandma said Yeah hunny I know your mom can get good at that when someone she loves is suffering because people do not do the right thing. That is why I wanted her help. So if you don't want to serve do not I repeat DO NOT take a job to serve. You just might run in to a mad daughter!!!
Oh yeah Its been a day but its done and the nite is quiet. So maybe they are sleeping a good nites sleep after 4 nites of fighting a life threatening ordeal.

Whats equal about....

I found out that good old aspertame is changing its name again it will be called aminosweet. So read closely as now its called a natural sweetner. That is not even close to true its a lie but thats how it works.Raw food stores get raided and cheme companies get to say and do what ever. All man equal hmm. Then its ok for congress to do insider trading and yet anyone else get a hint and its off the jail house rock ya go. We are not equal those in power have things set so we a equal. Equal comes will all the fields are the same all parties have the same chance as any other. Yet today the bottom group is pushed to the bottom every step they take and the top stays above.
Right now I am so tried of watching the bottom be pushed down I want to scream.The only way to get a good job is collage yet the cost is so great some never get it paid off. The food corp puts poison in our food tell us its good for us yet it causes illness .Why is it ok for things to be so unequal?Why is it people arent madder then they are? Whats equal about were we are in this country? At what point do the people say enough?
The housing market is just as bad they price house too high tell people its the way to go and then forclosure comes and people are confused. People you can not charge crazy amount and agree and not have problems. It just doesnt work that that. Fair prices make lifes better for all. Whats equal about the number of homeless due to this mess greed has caused?Many other companies and groups are doing the same thing.If we want equal we have to make it happon!
Study history learn the old ways and We can find Equal!!!!

I was thinking I want cheap turkey year round. So, when they went on sale I bought two of them and in to jars they will go. Simple easy summer turkey. Pop my jar and healthy meal fast.Why do we eat things that are not ment to be eaten? Pink slime, wood pulp, nerve gas,and much more? Wonder why we are sick, don't feel good and can't lose weight.If we eat real food it feeds our body and we don't crave the junk feel full and the weight just falls off. When we grow and process our food we know what we are eating. If you cant grow your food shot to buy the less processed and do it yourself. The flavor will shock you! On this note I plan to buy "Ball Blue Books" for each of my kids to give to them. I think I want to try to make some Canadian bacon. With the price of bacon here so high.I am not a bacon fan but, it would be fun to try and who knows it might taste better.
We are being warned that we are in great trouble as a country.Lots of things could effect us in different ways. It is up to each of us to take care of our loved ones. Learning to make foods the old fashion ways seem to be a grand idea. If you have kids get them in on the lesson make memories both you and them will never forget.Getting kids to help with food prep is great bonding fix a drink sit back and chat while you learn together.Ok so you don't like cooking find another forgotten skill and learn it with your kids.There are so many things out there to do find something and learn a skill with your kids. Our kids are only young once and if we let that pass us by we can not get it back.
Our life is like the wind always blowing but never the same breeze . Harness the wind and take the ride of life just do not let it pass you by.
