Fall break over and my crafts are almost done!

I had another request to make a halloween costume. This one was easier but a little more of a stretch.

Axel has two "vampire" teeth. What a fun Halloween costume for him.

Didn't have a pattern for the cape, nor did I know Axel's measurements. So when I went over to try it on him.... it worked out great!!

Here are a shot of his "vampire teeth"

There is a little more to his costume, like a black bow tie and chain. Can't wait for the Halloween party tomorrow!!!

Wait till you see my costume!!!

YUMMY!!

 I learned something new today....  Jed LOVES biscuits!!! The part that I love is that he makes them for us!!! YUMMY, SO GOOD!!! 

I said to Jed, "I don't even think that my high school students made biscuits as good as these." Jed didn't like the idea of me comparing him to a 9th grader :) My high school students and Jed are the only group of people that have ever made biscuits for me. Im awful at it!! 

And YES!! we've got the honey butter!!! ( my second favorite part )

So..... I have a generous heart. Its funny, one day we made banana bread and had an extra loaf and I asked Jed is we could give it to one of the other paramedic couples here. So we went to their door, knocked, and ran away. I thought it was the funnest thing ever!! Then another day ( actually a month later) we made tons of Taco Soup ( Jed's new favorite because my mom introduced him to it) and I again asked Jed if we could give some to the same couple? We made a cute little dinner basket with Hot taco soup, Frito chips, and some yummy pidgin mix for their sweet tooth. Again we knocked and ran away. ( of course we double check to see they get the care packages)

Well with Thanksgiving coming around the corner, my heart is bursting with ways I can give to others.

I couldn't wait for Thanksgiving, so the other day I ran the four dinner boxes over to the same couples house!!! I wonder if they know who this mystery friend is? Jed asked if she would recognize my handwriting. I thought to myself.... I can't sit by her at church anymore. ( I always take notes and people are always complimenting me on my handwriting.)

The view as I ran home...

So I never got into the blogging world as a single person.... I never felt like I had anything worth posting about. So those of you who have read my "single" blog... you'll see that I tend to ramble on about nothingness.


I was soooo thrilled to get married for many reasons, one being that I now would have something worth blogging about!

Today I realize that Jed and I just work. And when we are not working we either sleep, eat, or watch movies. What am I suppose to blog about?

So here I go with my crafts. I think I enjoy using Jed's SUPER nice camera.

Yep! I do like using Jeds camera!!! Im so excited to get this baby blanket done. I cant wait to give it to our secret santa receivers!!!! Its turning out great!!!

3 crafts down, 4 more to go and only 4 days left of my Fall break.

There is a BUG going around :)

Yes, that's right, a BUG!!! A CrAfT bug!!

Jeds schedule switched and he is currently working nights which is good because he gets the weekends off and we are able to spend some quality time together.... meaning we do crafts together!!! Jed has been a good support when I have the itch to go to the fabric store. Its funny, sometimes we tend to stay longer because Jed looks at the fleece and keeps asking  me if I would make him a blanket. Well one day he was in luck. Fleece was only $3!!! So Jed gets his blanket :) I'll try not to mention that it took him a long time to pick out what pattern he liked.

Little did he know that I was going to have him make his fleece blanket. LOTS of cutting.

Before long, Jed had his blanket.



Kim, is quite the crafty woman! Yes, I finally have my blanket (Now I have something to cover up with when she kicks me out of bed and makes me sleep on the couch).

Fall Break Crafts

Little does Jed know that when I get the time... I will either travel or engulf myself with crafts. Currently the public schools here in Oklahoma City are on fall break for the next two weeks. Dont really have the money to travel (plus Jed doesnt want me to have fun with the family without him) so I am getting ready for halloween and christmas. Here are some of my crafts:

 Indy came to me and asked if I would help her make Kiona's costume. We had so much fun looking at super cute baby costumes. Luckily tutus are in! I make this is two days!!

Indy already had the black onesie and the felt and fabric costed us $3. We found the cute headband at Micheals for $5. Total price of costume $8 Super cute Kiona as a ladybug for halloween... priceless!!

 Indy and I bought the fabric one day and then the next day when I saw Jed off to work at 4 am I just sat right down and started with the costume. I was soooooo anxious to see how it would turn out that I couldnt stop! Sadly I had to get ready for church and make Jed dinner. But then I picked it back up early the next morning and was finished!! I was easy to hand sew on the felt. I wish I would of stenciled out the letters instead of free hand them but its still super cute!!!

The fun part about all this was having Indy dress Kiona in the ladybug costume!!

 I currently  sew home decor pillow cases for my sister and her online shop with etsy. Im such a wizard at this that Jed and I picked out some fabric that we both like and I made us home decor pillows for our living room. Yesterday Jed picked up one of the pillows, examined it and said... "Im so glad that you are crafty. Our apartment looks so nice now. I cant wait till I start making the big money because our house is going to look so cool with all your decorating skills."

Jed and I have no christmas stuff what so ever! I caught the chirstmas fever and rushed to hancock and picked out fabric for matching stockings!! I cant wait till these are done!! Im going to handstitch felt letters of our names on the trim. Jed told me I better make it big enough to fit an ipad in there. We will see. I think this year all he will get is a lump of coal. Im keeping a close eye on him for the next couple of weeks maybe the odds will be in his favor. He knows how much I love choclate.

There is a couple with the paramedic group that had a baby boy and I wanted to make them a rag quilt for the chilly fall weather. They dont know that I am making it for them ( they are this years secret santa receivers ) This is a fun tradition that I want to keep doing every year.  

I have to get these projects done soon. One week has already come and gone! Although Im happy to know that I still have time to make the home decor pillows when people order them and spend time with Jed when he gets off his 12 hour shifts. Cant wait for the thanksgiving break! christmas ornaments here I come!
