Here is our Gardens for this fall/winter.<br />
We planted this last September... I forgot to post it.<br />
There was a nest of bunnies in the third bed so we did not plant anything in it since we did not want to disturb it... But it got out and Remy pounced. It was probably old enough to be on its own but I was afraid the dogs were going to eat it so I took it to the front yard to let it go.<br />

Lennon and Maisy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lennon is 12 and Maisy is 8</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love them. LOVE.<br />
Awhile ago I was Exploring music I came across their parents<br />
Which led me to them. They are now on the Tv show "Nashville".<br />
The top video is what got them noticed by the public.<br />
I love how if you watch Lennon she seems to go to another place when she sings.<br />
How Maisy is always moving. I also love that they do not cover Taylor Swift!<br />
They have 5 songs out and they are in my iTunes! </div>

This year along with the 24 books, I decided to start a new tradition. I took my daughters out and let them pick out Christmas fabric they liked (I did not tell them what it was for) and made pillowcases for them to open December 1st along with their first book! They loved it and were so excited to curl up in their beds with them and read our first book!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7rkzY0UHuuA/ULw8STZ6CdI/AAAAAAAAG38/pDWCFsTRd38/s1600/040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7rkzY0UHuuA/ULw8STZ6CdI/AAAAAAAAG38/pDWCFsTRd38/s640/040.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>

We have one of the big Pottery barn advent calenders that we use every year, but as soon as I saw the post on the punch board I knew I wanted to do it! For ours we pull it off the fridge and punch it. Also this year instead of getting candy each day for the countdown I made ( except for a few above) handmade gifts. Little things that I have seen on pinterest and saved for later. I wrapped Lilly's in green tissue paper and Raley's in Red so I would not have to guess when they pulled their gifts out since some of them were not the same. I have another post coming with the rest of the gifts that I have made, I could only get a few out to take a quick picture before Lilly wandered in.. Also each day in the advent calender they get a piece of paper that has a series of scriptures on it that follows His life, so we get out our bibles and read them together. Lastly they get a second piece of paper that has a Christmas/Jesus Activity to do. Hopefully tomorrow I will get our list up of the activities we do!</div>

Last year I saw all over Pinterest <a href="http://www.johnnyinadress.com/2011/12/play-felt-tree-ornaments.html">this</a> felt tree which is awesome! So this year wanted to make a felt Christmas tree for my daughters to play with but make it moveable and more for dramatic play. I love all things forest like so I wanted this tree to look kind of shaggy like it came from.. well the forest. My mom thinks it need feet and should star in a SiFy movie... hmmm.. full of jokes that one. I think its cute and the girls love it! I make some quick ornaments and got some sparkly red yarn from my stash I also threaded some sparkly pompoms to string around it but they are not pictured. The tree I made a cone with one layer of felt and stuffed it sewed it shut. For the leaves I cut long strips of jagged felt and hot glued it around until it was done! </div>

It is also one of the reasons while I have been so busy and have not had a lot of time to spend here. My two daughters and I are members of one of the largest Methodist Church's in our area. 20,000 large. Today I met with the facilities and Construction director at my church to talk about my "little" project.<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to start a Congregational garden, where 100% of the produce grown will go to local food pantries to feed the homeless. They asked me "how much land I would want?", I asked them "How much would you give me?" Right now we are talking about 2 acres! That's to start off with. That is one of the gardens that we talked about today. Another is a Children's garden and another garden to grow produce for the cafe inside the church. Iam going to list the rest because manly its late and I have been going since 7am and my brain is not working the best right now.. Some other ideas that I want to do are<br />
<br />
<br />
* A Children's garden where we have "Farmers Markets" that the kids put on and sell their produce they grow and use the money to donate towards a Children's cause that is local so the kids understand where the money went.<br />
*A pumpkin patch where we grow our own pumpkins and have a Fall festival where the families can go pumpkin picking, sip cider, roast smores, play in hay, face painting, crafts.. etc and again all the money will get donated or go towards a new wing of the church.<br />
* Fruit trees, there is a grant that you -short version- have to donate the fruit to a pantry but they give you 25 fruit trees. So an orchard.<br />
* Sweet potato project, where they give you the slips and they come dig them up all you have to do is supple the land.<br />
* Potato seed project where they also give you the "seed" and you plant them you dig them up but the potatoes go to feed people in the Appalachian mountains.<br />
* A Gleaning team. I am part of a local Gleaning team and I want to start one for our church. What Gleaners do is go to the farmers and pick produce that is left over or Seconds and then take it to the food pantry for those in need.<br />
* During next summer I want to start classes on Canning , fruit leathers. People pay a small fee which is donated and they learn how to preserve and make the most of the fresh food.<br />
There is more but for now that is all I can think of ... it is exciting and the feeling it gives me is Ah-mazing.. its like a boyfriend in a since.. It makes me excited and happy and I can not stop daydreaming about it..<br />
<br />

What a changed place this world could be if everyone used their strengths and gifts that God gave them to make it better.

This is the Thanksgiving Bunting that I made. I cut leaf shapes out of felt then just ran them threw my sewing machine. I have seen really cute ones on pintrest but I did not have the time. You can see some of our Pilgrim houses and Indian tee-pees on top of the mantel that Lilly and I made. She was wanted to display them there so we put little lights in them and turn them on at night and they are pretty cute! Plus some of our smaller pumpkins.The bunting I got from this web site </div>

10- I made Remy the same horse outfit but made him a bridle to go with it that Lilly lead him by... he looooved it... fake fur legs and saddle pads. We won the pet contest we were in!! We got lots of treats/toys/ and a gift card!! Lilly was super excited about all of that.</div>

1 Recipes<br />
2 Sewing/Woodworking/Crafting<br />
3 Antiquing/Thrifting<br />
4 Random Goodness<br />
5 Weekly Homeschooling unit<br />
6 Pretty Pictures<br />
7 Bits & Pieces<br />
<br />
<u>Details from above</u><br />
1 We eat organic, pure, no GMO's. I also have picky eaters. So these will be recipes that my children eat. <br />
2- I will be showing projects I make. From crafts with my kids to building with wood.<br />
3- I go Antiquing several times a week and will show what I get. Also I will start to show my collections and family herlioms<br />
4- Life<br />
5 We do a different unit each week, and I have been horrible about posting these. I never remember to take pictures and when I do its never enough to do a "Unit" post. Also I will show how we practice speech.<br />
6 Inspiration<br />
7 Our Week <br />
<br />
This is my plan. Buuut plans can always get thrown. Mostly this is to hold my self accountable. I have also decided to open up more about my personal life. Get more detailed about who I am, my thoughts, my feelings, my past, my present. A random blog post every now and then is fine and dandy but I want this blog to be a blog where friends are made and meet. Where you go to see what a friend has been doing that day and feel like you know my family.<br />
<br />
Also with the Holidays coming up, I will start a series of post on toys/crafts/books that we have and love and some that are on our wishlist. I will always say if a post is sponsored. But mostly it is going to be my personal opinion on what we love.

Took Hamilton to the Apple Orchard to see if he would like it there. It went down hill the second he saw all of the other ducks... He ran away scared from them and hide behind the kids. He would not get in the pond. Decided to take himself on a tour threw the event barn and walk around with the groom whose wedding was going on. Tried preening on the large dogs who did not appreciate it. Thought he would go shopping in their cider store. At one point I looked over and a group of women were standing in a circle talking... and so was Hamilton like he was one of them.... He thoroughly enjoyed his day, I think his highlight was riding shotgun and watching the birds out the sunroof... I think I have given him a complex..<br />

We have finally named this little gal! Her name is Tilly. I call her Tilly Monster or Monster..Because she is. The breeder named her Jude and we were not sure if we were going to keep it. Lilly wanted to name her peaches. Raley wanted to name her Noona. I liked Indie or Tatters.. because she looks like a tater tot. My mom liked Tilly because shes french and so is the name or Josie for her housekeeper that raised my mom. As far as Jude my mom like the name and thought it was funny, Lilly hated it, and for myself it would have been weird. When I was married that would have been the name if we had a son. But I was blessed with two daughters! Lilly and Raley are over the moon for their new puppy that my parents got for them. Shes perfect. She loves to play and is really wild but is such a snuggle bug she always has to be sitting on you. Remy finally warmed up to her and Raley calls them the papa lion and baby lion because that is what they sound like when they play. Lilly has been feeding her and "training" her, we took her to Show and Tell at school the last week and she was a hit! </div>

This year I am starting a new tradition to do with my family. I made these little felt baskets one for each of us ( Lilly, Raley, my Mother, my Father, and myself). Each night we write one thing we are thankful for that the other person did. So I will stick a note in everyone's but myself same with everyone else will do the same. Then on Thanksgiving eve we will open all the notes and read them. Its a great way to appreciate the little things your loved ones do on a daily basis and to teach little ones about the value of the small things to be Thankful for. </div>

<br />
I have had both of these costumes done for a month or more now...My goal was to get these up so other people could use the idea.. but celebrating Halloween and doing activities for that kiiiind of trumped. Sorry, maybe next year! For Raley's costume this year, she was Max from Where The Wild Things Are. It has always been my favorite children's book, from when I was little to now. I always wanted to do it if I ever had a son, but I think it is very fitting for Raley. She is wild and fearless and full of imagination. When she was little ( she still does it now sometimes) she would growl at Lilly and me and snap her teeth and cackle because it would always make Lilly squeal and run. Whenever she did it always made me think of Max when he yell to his mom "Iam going to eat you up!!"<br />
<br />
To make the costume, I wanted soft white snuggly fabric. I took Raley and gave her the choices and she picked this one and it is exactly the one that I had in mind! For the body I folded the fabric in half ( so the fluffy sides were touching) and laid her on the fold so half of her body was on the fabric and I traced it. For the arms and hood I used Simplicity pattern 5520 because it was what was in front of me. I used the arms for the little boys knight costume on the pattern and the hood that was on there also along with the "ears" I did make four of these pieces so it was lined when it was down. The ears I just stuffed and sewed on the outside. I cut the legs and arms so they looked like claws. The tail I just cut out what I thought a wolf tail would look like. I cut a little hole in the but and sewed it in from the inside. It pulls up on her so I did not put a zipper or buttons on. For the crown, I used the same fur as the tail. I also got the heaviest fusible interface that I could but I did not iron it because I was afraid it would melt the fabric. I hand sewed the fur on and I wanted it to be detached from the hood so she could wear it alone.I put all the tips of the crown together and clipped them with a clothes pin so it would give it that funky curl. I really love it, so does Raley! FYI This outfit cost $10 to make, in your face $90 pottery barn kids costume, Ha!<br />

Lilly and I love the movie "Brave" so it was a easy do decided on a Halloween costume this year. For those who have not seen it, It is probably on of my favorite "Princess" movies. Its about changing your fate and she does not need a prince to save her. Since I am a single moma of girls this message is huge for me. Anyways, For a long time there was only the blue "Princess" dress out, and we wanted the Green "Adventure" dress that she wears for most of the movie. So naturally I made her one! I would have made it even if it was out for sale. Because I love to make their costumes, I have always made them, except one year when my mother made it because I was super sick. I had this pattern from Lilly's costume last year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Simplicity pattern 5520. But I did not use the whole pattern and used pieces from both patterns. I used the (referring to the pattern front) purple dress for the body, the sleeves from the brown dress but chopped them so they were not as long and took them in so they were more fitting. Once they were attached to the body I then chopped them in half and and added the gold band. I used gold folded ribbon for the sleeves and collar. I did not use the collar from the pattern. For the bottom Satin with this pattern because of the curve that goes around the bottom is really hard to get a good looking seem and I was not wanting to spend a ton of time messing with it so I zig zagged the green so it would not fray and then cut a gold band and sewed that to the outside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the pouch I used a fake leather fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the arrows I used sticks from the yard and hot glued feathers and wrapped floss around it and black felt for the tip. Her bow is not in the pictures but it was made with a curved stick and string and wraped with the same colored floss.</div>

I made the tombstones out of a sheet of Styrofoam that I got from lowes, they use it to insulate walls. The sheet was 8ftx4ft and I had them cut it in half so it would fit in my car. Then I just free handed the rest. I used a box cutter to cut the tombstones out and added some cracks to it to make them look aged. Then because the box cutter was not the easiest to use to cut the names, I used my wood burner. I also added more to the cracks with that. BUT do this outside if you try the wood burner because the fumes that come off of it are horrible To spray paint, I used a black and grey spray pants. I did it at a distance because, again you want them to look aged not a solid color. Also the spray paint eats away at the Styrofoam which is neat and adds to the aged look but if you do it too close it will just eat a hole. I then cut wire hangers in half used two half's in each tombstone. I put half of it in the tombstone and the other half in the ground.<br />
<br />
As far as the names I decided to do real ones.I know you can make up names and have fun, but I like to keep it real.. I did some of my Favorite Actors, Actresses and singers. I put their real birth and death date on them. There are some that I felt funny about using, because of how they died... Annnnywho...hope everyone is having fun getting in the Halloween spirit!<br />

Here is a sneak peek at Lilly's Brave Costume I made for this year! I have it all done but I just need to take some better pictures then the ones on my cell phone to show it! The above picture is what almost did me in... If you have ever sewn with stretchy fabric and satin you know its not most peoples idea of a fun time. If you have not tried that combo yet, let me give you a piece of advice.. Pin, Pin, Pin. Pin ever 1/4 of an inch. The more you pin the better because then your fabric can not move. This rule goes with any kind of fabric that has stretch in it. I tried to skip this and pined maybe every foot... I knew better but was trying to hurry. Baaaad idea. Also sew on your largest stitch, that way it does not pull the fabric with every stitch. I will hopeful take the pictures tomorrow! Raley is going to be Max, from "Where The Wild Things Are" one of my all time Favorite books! I kind of talked her into it and she has been super pumped about it! I know its more of a boy costume but it fits her personality :) I have hers done too and just need to do pictures <br />

1&2: Out at the Barn. We are out at the barn several times a week between Me riding and Lilly's riding lessons. The second pic of Raley giving my "precious" Malibu some well deserved treats! </div>

3. My little Lil</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Lilly and I knitting on a Sunday Eve. These are some of the hats we are making for "Halos of Hope" that will be donated to indivuals with cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Friday Family Movie Night. Lilly, Raley, and I have done this for years. Every Friday we get lots of snacks, blankets, and pillows and make a fort and watch movies. Its our Friday night Tradition. This last week we watched this. I am not a huge fan of it anymore... They call each other stupid and idiot waaay to much. We do not use unkind words like that. Even "Dumb" is not cool in our house. Because really, who wants to be called any of those names?- That is my ranting movie review for the week.. "Its The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown = No es bueno. Also in case anyone hits up the Redbox and sees the "Shrek Halloween Stories" and thinks it looks cute and fun, Its NOT. I could not turn the TV off fast enough. Waaaay to scary for kids under 5 ...heck it kind of freaked me out.. Mooooving on. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Raley and I were sitting in the grass watching Lilly throw the ball. Kind of funny, Lilly would throw the ball to Remy and when he would take off after the ball, Hamilton was right behind him running as fast as he could with his tiny wings flapping! Silly duck</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. I was clearing out some of my fabric and Lilly decided to make a "Skirt". She was so proud of herself!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8. Indoor picnic at my sisters= Happy girls!</div>

This was the last activity in our summer jar. Every summer I have 100 ideas of fun summery things to do and the girls get to pull one out of the jar each day. This was our last. It was a rainy day so actually, it was the perfect day for this event. We drew 30 sunshine's and taped them all over our town! It is called Guerilla Art. For us it is about making a positive statement, sending out good Karma. It is a way to express your views and opinion to a large audience in a anonymous way. Who would not love a Ray of sunshine on a cloudy day?!</div>
