Let the cutting....BEGIN!

Ok, so I started cutting today. Just like I said I would. I figure if I cut up one pair of jeans a day, that would be an excellent goal. Today I got 22 strips from a grown ups pair of jeans. Pretty nice I think!

So, it started as this. Just a pile of non-descript blue jeans.



Zsusanna sat at the table and "helped" me. Mostly she just ate sunflower seeds and tried to shove things into the pictures I was taking.


This only took me about 45 minutes. The cutting, pretending to wear the "shorts" I had just cut (yeah, I'll spare you those pictures that were never taken). You know, just having fun during the process.



I thought I was done, and was pretty excited to have gotten 11 strips from one pair. Imagine my surprise when I found the other leg on the bench...ACK!


I must add that Zsusanna is NOT flipping me off. She zoomed in on the camera to specifically SHOW me that she had two fingers up...not one. We believe you Woody.


I told you she was shoving things into the picture area. Here she is with the hand thing.


I've decided to tie the strips up, cause it'll keep them more tidy, together, composed, neat...pick a word that means the same as what I'm trying to say...cause I can't seem to. Oh yeah, and the bottle of pop Missy is sliding across the table.


And of course, the picture that makes it all worth while. Here she is, the one, the only...MOOP! Isn't she "stylin'"

Goals

I have a goal.

Actually, I have a crafty goal. My "new years resolution" was to not buy any more cloth or yarn until I have used up my supply.

When we moved in here, I promised my husband a rug. The goal is to turn this.


Into a rag rug.

Wish me luck. I begin cutting this weekend. EEK!

My Pony

Here is a pic of Shelby. She didn't start school this year, but it is her last year at home.
Click on the picture to see the picture of Shelby. Right now all you can see is the back of Bill's computer chair LOL.

Brina-this was a surprise picture.


They are getting so big! Next year Shelby goes into Kindergarten...what on Earth are we gonna do?

First School Night!

Well, Shelby's in bed (she actually fell asleep in front of the TV), Sabrina's in the shower, Stephanie put herself to bed, and Zsusanna is bending herself into a pretzel. Bill said he's the perfect butt kicking pose. I have to agree! LOL Maybe one day I can get a pic of her doing it LOL.

So, I got tomorrow off-went into work on the way home from the chiropractor and asked if she had too many working tomorrow, and she said it was fine.

Bill has a doctors appoitment September 9th. Maybe we'll find out what's going on. I'm sure they'll put him on BP medication. Even tho we've greatly reduced the crap in our diets, his BP is still running a little high. However, it's come down A LOT!

Tomorrow, I'm going to have to remember that when the alarm goes off, I still have to get up. Hopefully it works.
