Kind of a Difference??


Straight or Curly????

Allen says he likes my curly hair, and whenever I straighten it...he wonders when is it going to get back to normal.  No, he likes it straight, but says it's not me.  I guess he's right since I hardly ever do it.  (it's to much work)

Puppy Door!!!!

Yet Another Project....

A few weeks ago, Allen and I decided to put in a puppy door so I wouldn't have to let Maggie in and out 20 times a day and if we went somewhere for the night, she could stay home!!!!
 
Allen cut the holes, put in the doors and built the ramp.  I'm so glad I don't have to get involved with those things, and that he can just handle it.  
 
My job was to teach the scared little puppy to use the door.  She got the Idea of coming in that afternoon, but still insisted on going to the door to be let out...which is only normal considering I had only taught her that way for 6 months.

Now that a few weeks have gone by, I can officially say.....She gets the puppy door and I am spoiled.  She goes in and out as she pleases.  It's Wonderful!!!

IT LOOKS LIKE SPRING.....Hold on I don't want to jinx it!!!!

We got SnOw yesterday and the SuN is shinning today so you know who...THAT'S RIGHT ALLEN....went snowmobilling. 
*********************************

It was beatiful this morning so I cleaned the porch, pulled out all the dead flowers and stacked the pots so that I will be ready for spring planting...I really
 
wanted to plant today, but I see snow in the future.  So we better wait.  I should've taken a before picture of the porch, but I wasn't thinking

*******************************************************************

After the front cleanup, I decided to finish the baby rag quilt.
 I can't believe how much energy I have today, but I'm going to take it....I never know when it's going to come!!!!  I am happy with the way it turned out....I'll be ready to start another quilt here pretty quick.

****************************************************************

WHILE I WAS WORKING....GUESS WHAT YOU KNOW WHO (Maggie) WAS DOING???
That's right!!! She was laying in the sun relaxing.  Here new favorite thing to do....bathe in the SUN!!!

A baby rag quilt...



I bought some really cute quilting fleece fat quarters the other day and wanted to use it. I haven't made a rag quilt in a while so.......

Just a note, "Making a rag quilt is really easy if you've done it before and pretty easy if you haven't", but the part that's hard for me is piecing.  Usually I get a paper and make a pattern, but today I decided to cut all the pieces and lay them quickly out on the counter.  Well two hours later the pieces are still NOT were I want them.  Go figure....quick and easy.....what is that???

I Want to ESCAPE TO.....

           I took this picture on the north shore of Maui (Paia)

Hawaii !!!!!  Last year at the begining of March we went to to Maui and loved every bit of it.  It was warm, tropical and we weren't ready to leave.  As I look outside and see the snow falling right now.....I want to go back so bad.  Maybe next year after the baby is born!!!

BEING PREGNANT....

For me, BEING PREGNANT ISN'T ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE, AT LEAST AT THIS POINT IN TIME!!! I feel like I've had the wind knocked out of me and I can't catch it again. I guess that's normal for the first trimester......AND THEN SOME more FOR ME!!!! I am a person that goes and goes and goes, and that hasn't been the case and is drivin me a bit crazy.

THIS LITTLE LADY IN MY BELLY IS ALWAYS MOVING. She must get that from her mama!!! Ha Ha. I know, "it'll be all worth it in the end!!!!", Since it's winter and cold.......I awaite warmer days...right!!!
