Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday! and boy, am I ready for Friday! Today started rather early with a 7:15 PD meeting at school... that means I leave at 6:45, that means I drove in the complete dark, that means my wonderful husband does hair. The girls got out of school early because this week is parent\teacher conferences for them and no school tomorrow. The conferences were great... but we have a few things to work on, they both have wonderful teachers. The girls went with BL to his job site this afternoon (which happened to be the neighbors and my sister's house.) As soon as I got home, I picked them up. Before we left, they had to show me their hay fort in Adam's barn equipped with its own bathroom. The little pony-tailed, dirtballs were so proud. I love creativity!

I applied for a US Cellular Grant a few months ago. Last week, I got an email congratulating me that I was funded. Today, two boxes of books arrived at my classroom door. Toot, Toot! (that's my own horn honking)

Happy Thursday, and enjoy the weekend!

Trick or Treat

Hope you have a happy and safe Halloween!

Christmas Wreath

$10.00
$20.00

The next Project is making Christmas Wreathes. We, my lovely siblings and spouses and I, bought two wreath making machines. Many moons ago, I worked at a Christmas tree farm making wreathes. I truly enjoyed the magicalness that comes with the season, chilly weather, hot cider, the smell of evergreens, and the happiness of people. We are making and selling wreathes out of the trees my mom planted 20 years ago for our college fund. Well, good thought Mom, but we have all four made it though college and the trees are still standing. Our goal is to use the trees to make, decorate, sell, and deliver wreathes the weekend after Thanksgiving. (unless we have some special orders before) We have many different sizes. The smallest is a 20 inch wreath made on a 10 inch frame for $10.00 (first picture). The next size is a 30 inch wreath (second picture) made on a 20 inch frame for $20.00. We also have some BIGGER frames and swags. By request, we will also made some evergreen grave toppers.

Project #3

Project number three,
Is made from a Christmas tree,
Now you are thinking what,
Yes, it will be made by an Utt!

Home on the Range

Oh, give me a camper,

Where the beds are all made,
The girls and their cousins play,

And the skies are not cloudy all day!

Home, home on the range,

Where the campers are OLD,

When the campfires blaze,

And the enjoy the days!

Oh, yes! The Home on the Range camper is almost complete. if we had air in the tire, we would be ready to roll! I would like to send a special THANK YOU for all that helped! I couldn't have done it without you all!

(sorry the picture is dark... daylight seems to be an issue, I promise some better pictures, later)

#2

This is project #2, the IH is being replaced but not forgotten! The new 1968 beauty is under construction at the moment. The two beautiful ladies in the picture helped with the first stage... we are now on stage 3 of painting. The inside painting is in tomorrow's agenda. Fabric on Thursday. Fix-a-Flat and roof repair before lift off on Saturday at noon! I love deadlines!

Projects!

Project #1

As most of you know, I am always working on projects. If I had to analyze myself, I would say I work on projects so I don't have to clean house, or mow the yard, or do laundry. If I am working on a "project" I don't feel guilty about SLACKING on the other household chores. This week I'm going to share some of my "projects" with you. I also must confess that my project completion time has slowed down in the last few months... my day job slows the projects down. This picture is the barn addition project that BL and I did a few weeks ago, BL finished it while I was at the day job! It is his affordable shop, maybe the unaffordable shop will appear after we win the Lottery.

Can anyone guess what project #2 will be? Pictures will be posted soon!
