Inspired by Patty Young Kyoko Dress

I have so many different projects going right now.  My mind just keeps racing with different ideas. I just wish I had more time and the materials to do what I want to do! If only house work didn't need done. I think I am going to make it my Blogger Resolution to overcome all the "if only" obstacles. (hmmm, this could lead to something more. I think I have another blog subject coming on)

The internet is the biggest source for inspiration. I see so many things done by so many talented people. I think I am addicted to pinterest now. I have been spending my lunch hours pinning. (shh, don't tell. lol)

Since time and funds are my biggest challenges for my craft fetish I have been going through old clothes that are not being worn and thinking of things to do with them. Though, I don't have anything to show now, expect to see something soon!

In the meantime, I wanted to share one recent thing I have finished. I am far from a photographer. It seems to be one thing I just cannot get good at. Maybe this weekend I will try it again and see if my Rylie will play model for me. Any suggestions on how to take the "perfect" picture, let me know! Please!





This is my version of the Kyoko Dress by Modkid Boutique's Patty Young. I didn't have a pattern, so I winged it. Don't think I did too bad. Most of the fabric came from the clearance section at Walmart. Sometimes I find good things there. But it seems I don't get much time to dive into the bins since my children tends to get embarrassed and drag me away. Maybe this weekend I will get some "I Love It!" pics of my model in it (don't hold your breath). We will see!

Please leave a comment, or post your pics (if able). I would love to hear what others have to say. My handsome man is just not excited about crafting as I am.

Spinach Lasagna Rolls

I originally found this recipe here on skinnytaste.com. She gets all the credit. I changed it a bit because the Handsome Man does not like ricotta. Pooh. I When its time to cook this I use a meaty spaghetti sauce.  Spinach Lasagna Rolls Ingredients:   18 lasagna noodles, cooked Approx. 2 cups of freshly chopped spinach (or 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained)   2  - 8oz packages of Neufchâtel (or cream cheese) softened   ½ cup cottage cheese 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese   2 egg salt and fresh pepper   ½  cup mozzarella cheese, shredded Combine spinach, Neufchâtel, cottage cheese,  Parmesan , egg, salt and pepper, and mozzarella in a large bowl. If the mixture seems soupy then add more  Parmesan .

Yankee to Southern Bell

We moved from Ohio to Mississippi in 2014. The BIG PLAN was to sell our Ohio house and purchase land, put a mobile home on it, paying with funds from the sale of the house. The idea was that we would not have a mortgage payment. Sounds good, huh? It does to me too. But Murphy's Law doesn't think so. (want more irony, we stayed with the Murphy's for while throughout some of this) We have been faced with many challenges over the last few years. But I am proud to say we do not have a mortgage payment and we do not have credit card debt either. First challenge: LAND It is good to know people. A friend sold us some land that had a structure on it that he had started himself. This is what the inside looked like: That is after cleaning it up a bit and running the electrical. It cost us more than we planned to spend. And biggest challenge. Its not finished. We really can't move into it looking like this. But look at the view: THAT'S MY BACKYARD! After ...

Canned Venison Meat
