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.

Slow Cooker Taco Chili

My church had a Chili Cook Off last night to kick off this year’s family night. It was a runner up for most popular vote. I would have won if Zoey wouldn’t have mysteriously come up with 3 extra votes when it came to announce the winner. Ha Ha! All the chili was very yummy last night and I had to taste all 8 entries. Needless to say, I was soooo uncomfortable afterwards. It was fun! All my co-workers appreciated it too as I took what was left over to feed them the next day. I put together all the ingredients the night before and put it in the crock pot over night. In the morning before leaving to work I took it out of the fridge and put the crock pot on low for the day. Super easy and it is nice to get home from work to already have supper done. Slow Cooker Taco Chili Ingredients 1 pound ground beef (or ground venison) 1 pound bulk pork sausage 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn with red and green bell peppers ...
