Life just happens. I am not sure how consistent I will be going forward but I am definitely going to do the best I can. My family moved 6 years ago to San Antonio Texas, which by the way I love!, when my husband retired from the US Army. That is when this blog took a very big back seat. Now that life is still chaotic, I thought I would start it up again. Please bare with me I am relearning how to do this. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">So that being said lets get into the meat of why I posted today.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I have been quilting a lot! My family is always looking for me first in my sewing room. I have made several quilts and I wish to share them with you. Here it goes enjoy.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">This first one is the back of my <a href="https://www.modafabrics.com/inspiration-resources/blockheads-4-archive">Moda Blockhead 4</a> quilt. Each pattern came in two sizes, 4 1/2" and 9" finished. For the back I used all the left over fabric scraps and extra material to make the backing. As you can see I had a lot left over. I made it for my son and his wife for Christmas/wedding. I used the fabric line called "Hey Y'all" by Ali K. This is the back of the quilt.</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWQ8PytgxEGFQxLtBWnVlXNUkfhbZQ-DYVCxkxVb002Sn1eW4n3i3N7v0HjzloR7CfNCkZXDH4xGZZZpDODF164hHsOVpo0cTdwNu7jBjrEjgUFRcr6s5GbF0RqpCLeUnZWuo14A0d3UxODKtXiMEsrsfe6mGhTqMF_Kf5ueO-zZg3xwu-WC7Zi9J0iple/s1187/IMG_5585.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1101" data-original-width="1187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWQ8PytgxEGFQxLtBWnVlXNUkfhbZQ-DYVCxkxVb002Sn1eW4n3i3N7v0HjzloR7CfNCkZXDH4xGZZZpDODF164hHsOVpo0cTdwNu7jBjrEjgUFRcr6s5GbF0RqpCLeUnZWuo14A0d3UxODKtXiMEsrsfe6mGhTqMF_Kf5ueO-zZg3xwu-WC7Zi9J0iple/s320/IMG_5585.jpeg" width="320" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is the front of the quilt.

Yes it has been a long, long time since the last time I posted anything. All I can say is life is crazy.<br />

So, now that it is October and my favorite time of the year I need to post some of my new decoration projects for this year.<br />

I always love Pinterest this time of year. I copied this silhouette from <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Halloween-Garage-Door-Silhouette/">http://www.instructables.com/id/Halloween-Garage-Door-Silhouette/ </a><br />
It turned out so cool that I will be making cow boy and girl silhouettes for my kids Book fair this year.<br />

Last year I found this fiberglass garden pot on the side of the road. It had a huge crack down it. I then painted it black. This year I had to add more. I put black silvery sculls on it and added green lights and pool noodles in the pot for effect... Then I made a wood box for the pot to sit on. Added orange lights and hot glued branches to make it look like a fire.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you girls are any thing like mine they love the blind bag toys. They watch videos about them and ask for one every time we go to the store.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I thought they would make great bows.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_3Lshk1zNA8/V94eeCEsulI/AAAAAAAADuI/47DgO1hOokM1-kGsmXCEBDZKO5NizooOACLcB/s1600/blue%2Btroll1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_3Lshk1zNA8/V94eeCEsulI/AAAAAAAADuI/47DgO1hOokM1-kGsmXCEBDZKO5NizooOACLcB/s640/blue%2Btroll1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The new troll movie coming out already has blind bags so I got a few to make bows. This is how they turned out. I like the first one better. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Uyxn338_Jo/V94ehUFIA2I/AAAAAAAADuM/YvMA9XP2PZU3ayFDOG11SV6iIFdQ_nlpACLcB/s1600/pink%2Btroll1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Uyxn338_Jo/V94ehUFIA2I/AAAAAAAADuM/YvMA9XP2PZU3ayFDOG11SV6iIFdQ_nlpACLcB/s640/pink%2Btroll1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This bow was my first and I improved it on the next.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m_rcoi_8pjQ/V94eiix8kII/AAAAAAAADuQ/2Rm7BQo1R48SL9Xkoak5RB9C586PpMyvwCLcB/s1600/carrot1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m_rcoi_8pjQ/V94eiix8kII/AAAAAAAADuQ/2Rm7BQo1R48SL9Xkoak5RB9C586PpMyvwCLcB/s640/carrot1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have lots of Shopkins and so my daughter asked for this carrot to be in a bow. I think it turned out cool too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will probably be making more like this. My girls are loving them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This cut pumpkin can hang on your wall from September to November. If you want to make it look more like a Jack o lantern then add a temporary face and legs or hat. Then remove for Thanksgiving.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QPtf6iu5UWc/V83CUX1V1TI/AAAAAAAADsw/uiCcS_i4uF4t3KLx2r-Dx0abVsWMViW-ACLcB/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QPtf6iu5UWc/V83CUX1V1TI/AAAAAAAADsw/uiCcS_i4uF4t3KLx2r-Dx0abVsWMViW-ACLcB/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface9.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This spooky guy is my second paper mache pumpkin. I made one about 4 years ago when we lived in Washington. You will see a picture of the first on at the end of this post.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took pictures of some of the process. I skipped the 15 layers of paper mache and started when the pumpkin was getting ready to be detailed.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IcrmhALOAL8/V83Ca136W0I/AAAAAAAADs0/FmiJ98q2E1k8qXB87awduXQzIu-KowrhACLcB/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IcrmhALOAL8/V83Ca136W0I/AAAAAAAADs0/FmiJ98q2E1k8qXB87awduXQzIu-KowrhACLcB/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After the fifteen layers of paper mache is dry it looks like this. I used for the layers just strips of newspaper and watered down glue.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9bcw7z0PCUE/V83Cc9d8tfI/AAAAAAAADs4/61Z7Zbt3B54lLIZk_wXbDdMohB970MnlACLcB/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9bcw7z0PCUE/V83Cc9d8tfI/AAAAAAAADs4/61Z7Zbt3B54lLIZk_wXbDdMohB970MnlACLcB/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then cut out the bottom whole and the face.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C9QG5YF-zZs/V83CiZeV4uI/AAAAAAAADs8/yDUhARtOCLQpxwc1Nh56xhVm1pNOewwEACLcB/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C9QG5YF-zZs/V83CiZeV4uI/AAAAAAAADs8/yDUhARtOCLQpxwc1Nh56xhVm1pNOewwEACLcB/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface4.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then comes the paper mache paste. It goes around all the cut out face and helps you give the stem and pumpkins the authentic pumpkins look with the vines wrapping down the pumpkin and around the stem. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6X6-ZxWdPHs/V83CkPFev2I/AAAAAAAADtA/V60JxiDGySAjrCHHvQhg4eYD9MSv1yrwQCEw/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6X6-ZxWdPHs/V83CkPFev2I/AAAAAAAADtA/V60JxiDGySAjrCHHvQhg4eYD9MSv1yrwQCEw/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface1.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After this first layer I realized it needed more and so I made the vines thicker and eyes thicker so that they popped.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C8npivb74SQ/V83CnZqe-JI/AAAAAAAADtE/OZVHJcnW3O480AwaVPJyCoCViuFu0cnjQCLcB/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C8npivb74SQ/V83CnZqe-JI/AAAAAAAADtE/OZVHJcnW3O480AwaVPJyCoCViuFu0cnjQCLcB/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface5.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The last layer of paper mache is paper towels. I gives the paste a smooth look. It also makes it easier to add dimension with paint because the towel is all wrinkly around the pumpkin so even though I said it smooths it out it is anything but smooth.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GWRAk_BL8Vw/V83Cp6E3PMI/AAAAAAAADtI/Wfr0qQixf6g83tFpNwbfC3u7s65r3B0FwCLcB/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface11.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GWRAk_BL8Vw/V83Cp6E3PMI/AAAAAAAADtI/Wfr0qQixf6g83tFpNwbfC3u7s65r3B0FwCLcB/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface11.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I Then paint the inside and out side the basic color I want it to have.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0SbLkK8koWk/V83CthPBPEI/AAAAAAAADtM/lViWWTgWgA0GsC6fIP7wxuuc3Rl_sgzAQCLcB/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0SbLkK8koWk/V83CthPBPEI/AAAAAAAADtM/lViWWTgWgA0GsC6fIP7wxuuc3Rl_sgzAQCLcB/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface7.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then use the dry brush technique with all the different colors to give the pumpkin dimension.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ESPKX4pbWM/V83CvJVqJyI/AAAAAAAADtQ/gbZfpi8lX-4PiThU7Mlgy22NhO0ZISj9gCLcB/s1600/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ESPKX4pbWM/V83CvJVqJyI/AAAAAAAADtQ/gbZfpi8lX-4PiThU7Mlgy22NhO0ZISj9gCLcB/s640/paper%2Bmache%2Bpumpkin%2Bface8.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Black, Red, Oranges, and Browns on the pumpkin. Browns Greens' and Orange on the stem give the pumpkin its pop.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am not sure if I am done with the swag. I might add more stuff to it. It is also not hanging on the lantern the way I would like so I need to adjust it. But for now it will work.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This kit was the most expensive I have ever bought. It was $29.99. All the pieces were laser cut. I just put the pieces on and ironed them on super easy.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am all ready for the patriotic holidays this year.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got this Flip Flop wreath idea from Pinterest of course.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went to D</span><span style="font-size: large;">ollar Store starting in April every couple of weeks until I finally got these patriotic flip flops. I scoped them out on the website but it was not until second week in May that I was able to find them. Then I had to go to three stores to find all of them in the size I wanted. Which you can see I gave up on the one pair that I only have one of. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The center piece also came from the Dollar Store.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The patriotic picks came from Micheal's.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This was the cheapest wreath I have ever made. Got to love Dollar Stores and coupons at Michael's.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a old grey piece of wood on the side of the house. I turned it into a couple patriotic pieces. We love Texas in our house. We lived in Texas for a few years so I made a the state flag. It is really simple.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will need 2 pieces of old wood cut to 20"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Glue the pieces together and then clamp them together until dry.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Place painters tape about 8" from the left side of your wood. Center card stalk star and dry brush in blue all around the star up to the painters tape.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lqRShyOyWxQ/VzEvf0ce1XI/AAAAAAAADo4/dQ5cMtBey_AeNaE6CuXluZ3QMvHUCE7ngCLcB/s1600/texas%2Bflag%2B3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lqRShyOyWxQ/VzEvf0ce1XI/AAAAAAAADo4/dQ5cMtBey_AeNaE6CuXluZ3QMvHUCE7ngCLcB/s640/texas%2Bflag%2B3.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to not paint the star white and just left it.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DGVBjKU35Ho/VzEvj4JXpvI/AAAAAAAADo8/KVKm24Kw9AECfdETCAGYbjxj4qRJF83qACLcB/s1600/texas%2Bflag%2B4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DGVBjKU35Ho/VzEvj4JXpvI/AAAAAAAADo8/KVKm24Kw9AECfdETCAGYbjxj4qRJF83qACLcB/s640/texas%2Bflag%2B4.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I moved the painters tape over to the left covering over the blue line you just painted. Dry brush the top half with white.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ytdycsBNQeI/VzEvomS79uI/AAAAAAAADpA/-5F9OVzT7Vg44NAOQJG7TzvbG4uKCp7fwCLcB/s1600/texas%2Bflag%2B5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ytdycsBNQeI/VzEvomS79uI/AAAAAAAADpA/-5F9OVzT7Vg44NAOQJG7TzvbG4uKCp7fwCLcB/s640/texas%2Bflag%2B5.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It should look just like this. You can put painters tape in the center to keep from painting on the bottom half or if you are really good just paint to the line that separates the two pieces of wood.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-elQlZVBnaS4/VzEvtLn8ndI/AAAAAAAADpE/mQ5RuN--Nt05NZG9ldpGkx_duGIF2niyQCLcB/s1600/texas%2Bflag%2B7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-elQlZVBnaS4/VzEvtLn8ndI/AAAAAAAADpE/mQ5RuN--Nt05NZG9ldpGkx_duGIF2niyQCLcB/s640/texas%2Bflag%2B7.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now dry brush the red.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfLlYxf8zis/VzEvxcSzTzI/AAAAAAAADpI/BXjTbYORNqMJhXYBurNMhWPtd-o4ZWKDACLcB/s1600/texas%2Bflag%2B8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfLlYxf8zis/VzEvxcSzTzI/AAAAAAAADpI/BXjTbYORNqMJhXYBurNMhWPtd-o4ZWKDACLcB/s640/texas%2Bflag%2B8.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When you are finished it should look like this. I then put hooks on the back to hang on the wall and you are done.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would have to say that Colorado needs to be medicated for Bipolar disorder. Its become so drastic in its weather (mood swings) that I really think we have a problem. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last Wednesday we had a Blizzard.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This afternoon we are getting another snow storm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is supposed to be Spring. Why the snow? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have three or four days of spring like weather than two days of winter weather. Then back to three days of spring. The next two or three days we are getting snow and cold weather. I feel like we are on a teeter tooter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is going to kill all the spring bulbs that are coming out.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago the Mormon Tabernacle Choir asked for people all over the world to tape themselves singing the Handel's Hallelujah Chorus and send it to them so that they could sing with the Mo-Tab Choir. The video has been released and it is phenomenal. I love the song and to see all these people being in one massive choir of talent is so exciting. If you are interested in seeing the video you can find it here: </span><a href="https://www.mormon.org/easter?cid=6610108"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#Hallelujah</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just hearing the Mo-Tab Choir sing is a treat. This is a doubly special treat to see young and old from all walks of life. I am sure it was a treat for all those who got to join in with Choir. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In my younger years I was in Choirs in high school and in college. I sang this song and the whole Handel's Messiah during my freshman year at what used to be Ricks College, which is now BYU Idaho. I have always loved the song and it always brings me to tears. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I so much enjoyed watching it. If you look closely you can find Donny Osmond singing in it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So take a about 4 minutes and click on the link and be uplifted as I was by this phenomenal performance. </span><a href="https://www.mormon.org/easter?cid=6610108"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#Hallelujah </span></a><br />
