You live with 3 funny humans? You're so lucky!! :-) My hubs is really funny when he isn't in lala land. AKA in his own head and doesn't know there's other humans in the house. lol

I'm about to tear things up and start over on my island. Again. :-D How's yours going? I'm so glad you got your knee scooter. Back when I had all of my foot surgeries they hadn't invented them yet. At least I didn't see them and none of the doctors mentioned them. I know it's making your life so much easier because I remember when I first saw one and thinking how nice it would have been to have one.

It frickin feels like winter here today! It's not technically real cold but it feels really cold with the wind. I wore gloves on our walk today. :-P

I hope you're having a good day!! <3 My day isn't bad and I've accomplished a ton of stuff I've been putting off. Yayyyyy! Business stuff and and some sewing and food prep.

Those little seed beaded critters are so cute!! Are they free hand or made with a beading loom? I used to make flower bracelets free hand (without the loom) and chokers with the loom. So fun!! My weekend was lowkey and nice but I'm on the run again tomorrow for 3 days. How was yours?

Yes I can understand how sometimes it can feel like too much and them being too protective. But I'm still glad they are taking such good care of you!!!!

It's funny how the seeds we want to grow don't want to grow, but the ones that aren't expected to grow just grow. In the garden we used to use, we cleaned it out and moved the dirt elsewhere, I think another blackberry vine is growing... I'm guessing a squirrel got to berry and then buried it XD That will be interesting if it is a blackberry vine. I'm wondering if I should try to move it to where the others are or not.

We're going to finish The Witcher and probably watch the new episodes of Obi Won while we wait for Stranger Things.

right? it was 105 today im dying

Oh of course! Lots of cute has can be made and be beautiful and not super expensive. ill try to work on it soon :D

What did you sew? Glad you got some stuff behind you that can really were you out when you have a lot to do

lol I need to do more craft stuff

well good for you cause I hardly got any CSC haha :P I think maybe 150 if that? Not a ton :P but still free CSC will be missed...they should incorporate that more often with other things lol sounds like you are having nasty weather too? XD it was like in the 100's today but the MAIN problem here in Iowa is freaking a crapton more flies and they are the BITING kind...little bastards. Hubby speculates its because fertilizer is hard to get and more farmers are probably using manure which is increasing the flies ugh.

well glad we could almost agree on something :P pfft hehe. As for marigolds they don't smell pretty like flowers should smell..they LOOK okay I suppose but they aren't very pretty lol :P and its limited in colors :P I adore lilacs though (smell and look amazing and come in pinks/purples/whites) :D And lol green onions do not chew like rubber haha :P what in the world woman! And negative on the massive amounts of candy :) I don't have a table for the 2nd machine yet :) I'm waiting on that....it should be here Wed and hopefully hubby can do it then...if not it will be Thursday or Friday and THEN I have to do a "tester" load and THEN I'll be able to use it :P BUT the outlets are totally done so that's good and hopefully the stuff comes on time cause seriously skittles are going like hotcakes lol might try to consider paying for a website again to get away from Etsy...had an order that was like 99 and then they ordered something else for 11 and I paid like almost 30 dollars in "offsite" ad fees and random fees...like holy fudge (should be illegal) ugh.

oh my goodness an apartment?! I so could NOT do an apartment after I did it in my younger years...like no no no! I'd rather find a house to rent or even a large townhome lol but I don't think I could ever go back to apartments...I can't believe your hubby wouldn't want to move and like have yard space/more space inside?! Since he said no you should say well I want a larger space and this is why and see what happens lol

that is very true. Family can be a blessing or a curse and sometimes you get a mixed bag of it all lol. I'm sorry to hear about your dad's mother....it can definitely take some time to be OK about things. My dad's mom died when I was 5 but she was lovely and fierce lol and my mom's mom lived in Canada so I only saw her a few random times during holidays lol :) Ahh okay....yeah I definitely use that expression a lot in my life LOL! And that is most EXCELLENT news on the scooter! whooohooo! Being able to be somewhat pain free? Like AMAZING! I feel you on that! I've had carpal tunnel for at least 4+ years and hubs never had good insurance lol :P he does now (not sure of the cost of carpal tunnel surgery) but I should look into that because that would be helpful and hopefully affordable :D (at least for my left hand anyways which is a bit more painful than my right) :P

well I live with two funny humans :P my hubby and daughter :P my son is also funny but he's just visiting for the summer haha :)

Oh my gosh, really? They were so fun to make! I used to have a bunch, I wish I remembered what happened to them.

I'm not sure what a loom is :O But I did them freehand when I was a kid ^0^ Where are you going? :O :O My weekend was good! Busy, but good! We went shopping on Saturday and then came home and did some tie dying. Then on Sunday me and Rusty went mini golfing and out to lunch with my SIL and her hubby. I'm sunburned 😭 Lol

LOL! That's funny that another one popped up! I like organization so I'd probably move it to where the others are XD

We shouldddd! I wanted to start doing more craft type things with Jesse.

LOL! You're so funny. I love all flowers, I'm a floral lover 😍 Green onions = YUCK! I will pick that shit out of my food LOL! You had to pay $30 in fees for a single order????

It wasn't technically sewing but cut some really long jeans off. I bought them at Ross for 10$ and super cute but way too long for me. They're super tight (but also stretchy) with big flares at the bottom. I think they were assuming people would wear them with high heels but I'll be wearing them with flip flops.

You're so lucky! How did the Boss Baby's "book" turn out? :-)

Liz is working for the next 3 days and I pick her up and tomorrow grocery shopping, Wednesday I'm getting a hair cut and Thursday Liz has a doctor appointment. It will feel like more than it sounds like. LOL! Wow you did have a busy weekend! I hope your sunburn isn't bad! Tie dying is fun! What did you make? This loom I used to love making stuff on it but never did figure out how to add a clasp after I was done. :-P

I have been told I'm funny lol XD For me a flower has to not only look good but SMELL good lol :P otherwise its not on my favs list...though I saw this video on making dandelion and violet "jelly" lol XD Green onions are LIFE! Mmm hmm :) I love subbing them in recipes if I'm out of regular onions :P and they regrow and regrow so you can cut and then come back again later :D And yeah because my shop makes over a certain amount in one year (my first year) I have FORCED offsite ads (I can't get out of them) so if someone is on google and someone clicks one of my pics from say google...Etsy charges like 12% (but its really a LOT more than that LOL) plus anytime an item sells I get charged like .20 cents + a relisting fee of .20 cents and shipping fees so like if I charge $10 flat rate shipping etsy actually charges me 6.5% for shipping which is normally NOT a profit lol XD Like one person shipping might be 7 and another might be 12 or 15 so like it all "balances" in the end but they still charge a fee on that and its really making me mad lol so I need to figure out a way to make a website work better for me lol :P

yes! they are all great amusement to me :D but if I'm going to be with these folks forever its probably best we have some humor :P I don't think she finished her book lol :P if she did she didn't share with me :P though she did try telling me earlier she was 8 years old and I was like uh no you are 6 and she's like 7 I'm like uh no you are 6 lol :P then she just asked me if I was 8 years old and I said no and she asked my age lol XD now she's tickling the bed lol

ROTFL!! She sounds so delightful!! And 8 is better than telling you you're old like Liz told me once. 😂

she cracks me up at least once a day everyday...without fail LOL :) and haha she asked if I was 8 :P not said hey mom you are 8 :P I'm fairly certain in a few years she'll be like wow that's old LOL! Fairly certain my 17 year old has done it so its only a matter of time I think :P

Yeah, that's what I will probably do. Of course I really need to be sure it is a blackberry plant before I move it. Last thing I want is to add another weed to the garden haha!

She will - give her time! Liz used to crack me up daily too. Now when she gets really mad at me, which is rare, she crosses her fingers on both hands and holds them up and she thinks she's flipping me off. And it always makes me start laughing. 😂

haha something to look forward to :P being called old when I already feel old haha :P And she crossers her fingers to flip you off? LOL! that's hilarious...at least its appropriate if you guys are "out" and about cause no one else will know what's she's doing lol

Oh wow you're going to be pretty damn busy :O I shall cheer you on from my couch 😂 <3 OH! I've never seen one of those but I get the idea. I used to use a piece of cardboard to do that, and just cut slits into the bottom to place the strings XD Not as fancy but same concept. This makes me want to make beaded bracelets!

Dandelion and violet jelly? o.O What would you eat it with? Ick, you can have allllll the green onions. Good freaking lord! Etsy sounds like a scam with all those freaking fees D: What the hell!

LOL! Probably a good idea 😂 I guess only time will tell!

Yup! Hopefully it won't be too late before I find out haha. Time to get the kiddo to bed, hopefully he will sleep in his bed the whole night again. Last night was great without having him in the bed. Fingers crossed tonight will be the same.

from what I've seen on people who make it they eat it with like toast lol :) and sure I'll take all the green onions as they are delicious <3 And yeah etsy is totally a scam....like their 5% fees were bad enough but 6.5% plus the forced offsite ads is really taking a big chunk. I might have to bite the bullet and have someone design my website really nice with all the integrations to show me to like google/facebook etc to make it more popular without me having to do anything.

And randomly my newest story about my daughter is about my two kids. My 17 year old son goes into the living room and my 6 year old tells him, not right now I'm busy... he goes to sit down and she says Don't sit down or you will die. He is halfway sitting down and sits down all the way and she goes "Well, I guess you are going to die." LOL wth this kid is hilarious! Her brother is getting a super big kick out of her sassiness/randomness lol

they happen every year near my parents place.. hopefully they aren't bad this year as my kids want to go there for a couple weeks

oh dear.. its actually quite nice here, which is odd cause its calling for rain. so i will go plan out my garden layout and hopefully see about planting. for sure need to get the potatoes in the ground asap.

totally worth it if they were only 10 bucks :D my mom got me some jeans for a dollar recently and they were to long so she had me put them where i want them and she is going to hem them for me :D

Ugh flies, we have some horse flies here that bite but they haven't been TO bad we have an a"salt" gun to take care of them XD

hunter enjoys crafts but lots of them make a huge mess XD

good luck :D I'm still doing Kappa tours trying to get ruins recipes. lol yeah it's really helping. My doctors want me to exercise more but with being laid up that's hard. So this gives me more ability to do so.

ugh. Temps like that should be illegal. Your ha is so cute. Love it!

My mum's mother died before i was born which is a shame as mum has told me many stories and I think she would've been the quintessential gran you hear about.
def look into it. Being out of pain is awesome. LOL Hurry foot and get out of pain too.

I guess I was deprived lol. Did I tell you my scooter came? It came on Sunday I think there's a big difference just in the couple of days I've had it. And lol it's kinda fun, not gonna lie. Several people have already commented on it too.

It is funny and I've had her show several people saying "Liz show them how you flip me off when you're mad at me" and she'll do it and laugh. rotfl!!!! One Halloween I tried for a week to get her to say "trick or treat smell my feet give me something good to eat" but she never said it. Then several months later, around Christmas, we went to my dad's house and when my uppity step mother answered the door, guess what? She said it and hubs and I both were cringing so bad. 😂

I've made bracelets on a piece of cardboard too. Now I want to make some too! But I would really like to make one of your lizards. For Liz. LOL!!

Have fun with your garden! I'm excited for you. :-) And we're having a dry day but rain coming back in a few. ugh I usually don't mind rain but I'm over it this spring.

That's great she's hemming them for you! I didn't bother hemming mine since they were fringed so after I cut them off I just washed them. And wearing today. :-)

Lately I never seem to have enough time to do tours. That stupid wedding build and Happy Homes...I'm only doing the wedding build every few days and I keep being told I didn't match stuff good enough but the items are so limited. It's annoying and I really don't care that much about wedding items so I don't know why I'm bothering. :-P I'm so glad it's helping and hopefully the healing will speed up.

oh cool Im glad they worked without to much work!

Thanks yeah the temps are not enjoyable for sure x.x I saw a dragon squish pillow yesterday no boba tho
