So, you can see that the cheaper the glasses the better. Of course these were purchased at Target and have withstood a whole lot of beating and banging and licking and pulling apart as well as stretching...
Tim was able to capture these beauties while I was studying for
THE TEST!
THE TEST!
I like the side pose here. sort of pilot-esque...
19 months going on 19 years!
"Cheeeeeze"
"I wonder what happens if i just...yeah...crunch them like this and fold them backwards...yeah..."
"Seriously dad..."
We spent a pretty quiet weekend in Guilford making it into town once for groceries and Home Depot and Jo-Ann's. I managed to take my time at Jo-Ann's and bought 200 dollars worth of groceries in the time it took Tim at Home Depot! Hee hee! Men and their tool stores! We also tried to check out a church festival in Lawrenceburg...We were one of four people attending...seriously. It was too hot. I bet it got hopp'n that night, though. We were going to go back for gambling and drinking but remembered we had a babe and would be spending the evening in wathcing Reno 911 the Movie.
We did purchase a garage door opener which is very exciting. We will soon get to park in the garage, as we are too lazy now to open and close it manually everytime we want to leave the house (which averages once or twice a week--that's a lot of opening and closing...)
Tim electricalized our hot tub and is almost done making it all work and look professional! He's so smart! :) I can only imagine the electricution that would take place if I wired that bad boy! Can't wait to get in it this fall! How delicious! Come visit me and you can play too!
We are debating on whether to screen in our basement porch or not. Any thoughts? I will take some pics of it and leave the posts open for ideas...for the all ONE of you who reads this or actually posts :) (HINT, PUH-LEASE POST!)
Oh, and as for the Jo-Ann fabric purchases, well, I made a Cooper bed (pics to come later, as Tim is stealing some foam from work to stuff the bed with--nothing but top class for that pooch) and two pillows for our couch. I have some left over fabric from the pillows....thinking of making a table runner....oh the excitement....i can feel it!
The other pillows on the couch I made as well, but I made those when I was in nursing school and living at the in-laws. The picture doesn't really show them well, but that's the best I can do.
I'm really looking forward to painting our house! I don't know what room to start with! I hope to do a room every couple of months or so until I get it all done.

Your house is looking great. You are an awesome seamstress. I love Alex with your shades. I need to buy a new pair. Mine were cheap too. Maizie likes to wear them since she loses hers within a day of us buying her a pair. I always swear I will never buy her another pair but she hates the sun in her eyes. Now we use a small umbrella for her in the car.
The house is looking good, can't wait to see it this weekend. Who would've thought we would enjoy spending hours in fabric store? Does that mean we're getting old?
Mel,I did not know Jac had a baby! You are not keeping me very informed. Who else has had babies. Jac's little one is adorable.
that is not jacque's baby! hee hee! that is her siters! ha! how funny!
can't wait to see you too, kell! i know, we are getting old. i even buy those home magazies now instead of cosmo and what not...though i still buy the people trash magazies during times of weakness! ha! thanks for commenting!
Nope not my baby! But I love her like my own. I have trouble handeling my 1 yr old pup, so no babes for a bit. Speaking of pups... my first sewing experience was making a dog bed for linus. I learned very quickly the importance of sales at the fabric store. it can really add up! I spent $70 on fabric, etc for his bed and he doesnt even touch it. Since then I only get fabric on sale and i hit the clearance sometimes at walmart.
holy cow! 70 dollars! that is insane! i spent about 12 on fabric and about 3 on filling plus the tuff tim got for free! holy cow! 70! does it have gold engravings? hee hee! and your dog is tiny, right? about a tenth the size of cooper? hee hee! he's a lucky pooch! happy b-day to him as i know it recent!
Thats fun you would say Holy Cow! I think thats what my mom said, and kyle's response was more like..."G Damn't Jacque!" I seem to learn a lesson the first time i do everything. With the fabric it was the cost. TOday i just painted the back door and trim at Kyles and I discovered it is bad to paint in 90 degree weather. I think the gooeeyy look adds texture. I am sure kyle will have another opinion when he gets home from work! oops!
I cant believe how well you can sew, you must have gotten that talent from me! All those liesure suits I made way back...Ha! Love the blog, good luck with your boards, Im sure you will do great!
yeah, mom! you got on! i'm so proud of you! and jac, your stories are cracking me up! ha! the paint thing is too funny! live and learn, right :) hee hee! sounds like seomthing i would do!
So do you actually have and use a sewing machine? I am so impressed. The house looks great and I wish we could visit soon and you were closer to Chicago! Did Kelly and Nathan come visit? I'm jealous! Blog more pics of the house when you can. I need to too, I keep forgetting.
thanks for posting jill! can't wait to see pics of your house! kelly is coming tonight actually. nathan isn't. it's just a girls weekend with me kell and Alex! come anytime you'd like! tim and i were talking of trying to come in the fall without alex. we've been really wantoing to visit, but like everyone else it's finding the time to make the damn drive! grrr!
love ya
