Gun cleaning tonight... Can you tell?

Jace's last band concert at LBJ middle school with Elijah Garcia

The sewing corner....one day I will get a craft room. Until then I just organize this mess.

1st summer project. Another usp-- unfinished sewing project...ok so this one is a quilting project.
You can see in the back ground the wrestling match of Wyatt and Justice. The little boys let me know that they didn't know what quilting frames were. Has it been that long since I did a quilt w/o my machine.

You know when you look at Pinterest and wonder if that actually works or will it actually turn out like the example pictures. I just finished one of my pins. It was a neck cooler or a cool neck tie.... Like this one. Jace wants to be in marching band this next year for high school. These are required for summer practices. I was also thinking that we could sell these for $10 to anyone who is outside in the summer, in band, on track, a lifeguard, a construction worker, a mechanic..... The list goes on and on. The example of the fabrics I have now are in the second picture. I will be add more...soon

Usp -- unfinished sewing project

This is a usp ( unfinished sewing project)
Justice did the center quilt block back in August 2015. We work on this blanket until school started. We got the rest of the fabric at Walmart before school starts too. I would break it out every now and then. Today I finally decided to dig out my sewing table. It's buried...still is.
One project done!!

Tuckers grad pictures....good thing we are not ordering any of these

Kids

In order to rid our house of the "p" word, I ripped the Xbox off of the TV shelf. Tucker found a way to get onto the Internet. I wanted to put a shot gun shell into it.. But since we live in the city, jason said not to.....plus we have two cops that live down the street. I took it to game stoppers... And sold it. I got $75 in gas cards, since I didn't want a store credit. 

Sad for the boys, but now they won't be couch potatoes.  Tucker will be my shadow until fall. I think I should take him to spin class tomorrow.  #pornkillslove #nomoregamers
