News...

So we got word yesterday, we are officially moving to the state of Kansas. I hadn't realized until yesterday how comfortable I have become with the idea of staying here in Tennessee. I'm excited about going to a new place my husband and I haven't been before. There is so much to do, and we're not sure when we leave yet, which is a little aggravating.  We probably won't go out there before we move so we will be finding a place off the internet. This is getting scary. We have so much to get done. You don't realize how much you accumulate when you live in one place....but as soon as you start to move, your like OMG where did all this stuff come from!?!?!?

I don't know if we're going to go down to a studio apt, or if we will be getting a 1 or 2 bedroom apt.....we just have to pray God shows us where in Ks to move to. I don't have any clue how we will afford a security deposit on an apartment, but I know God has everything worked out. I just wish he'd show me so I can be at peace. I'm constantly torn and not knowing what to do......what to pack and what to leave unpacked. We will have to pay and get the car legalized, tho we just did that in March here in Tn. Grrr. Licences are expensive out there in Ks it looks like. :(

There is so much to have to do. Do I get the dr records now or do I get them the day before we move? I'm so torn. My nerves are just gone. I don't sleep well anymore (for now at least) I wake up every morning with a HORRIBLE migraine. I'm so tired and all I wanna do is just disappear for a while.

However, more news is I sent the package to my s.i.l. Diane. She LOVED the bags I made, as well as her daughters. Diane and her husband Travis, and their daughters are an awesome group of people. I'm so excited to be part of their family. I really with out a doubt married the GREATEST man God could ever have given me, and he has the most amazing and wonderful family. I love them all!!!

Well, I guess I can stop rambling and go do something in this mess I call home for now.

*itching...

I hate the new blogger interface, i wish they would just leave it alone. In my opinion, they had it user friendly and wonderful and then they change it on you. I FINALLY found how to get to the old blogger interface. If they don't let you go back to the original blogger interface, i think i'll delete my blog and find another place to blog. The new one just isn't friendly. It makes everything harder to see and much much smaller. blah.

I've been working on this bag for what feels like forever and its impossible. I've started the last time i'm going to start. If i have to rip up again, i'm going to give up on this pattern and wait until someone makes me one. its horrible. It shouldn't be this hard for me. ARRRGGGHHHH.

travel room...

So I have been working on this room since I was a little girl, I'm still trying to get licence plates, postcards, key chains, and other various things for this room I have designed in my head. Getting it done seems like it may not happen.

I'm trying to get street signs as well, I love the used ones better than the new shiny ones, but those are either EXPENSIVE or else they have been recycled. Its really hard to see this in my head and not get it done. So I'm putting out a cry for help, or a plea.

IF you have a licence plate, key chain, road sign, or are going to anther or from another country and wouldn't mind to send me some of the things that I'm looking for please let me know. Right now I don't have money give, but if anyone would send me something off my list, I may one day get this room done.

I'll put a detailed list below of things I'm looking for and if you can help, feel free to email me!!



click this and it gets bigger














I have a licence plate from ireland (not an official one like i want, but one thats from ireland)
I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to have one from england, austraila, africa....well one from each country really.

I am also collecting coins from other countries as well. I have a small collection....but hope and pray it continues to grow.

need pattern help

I have been in love with this pattern forever, its the easiest one imaginable. I mean easy peasy lemon squeezy easy.

Sugar'n Cream Naturals - Summer Totes (crochet)

 the pattern end up looking like this:


Instead of like this:

My mom who is an experienced knitter/crocheter has tried to help me, but we can't figure it out, i have done everything to make sure i'm not adding stitches, and not dropping/decreasing stitches, but it won't go straight. I don't know what to do. I'm left handed, does this have anything to do with why its not working straight??  any help out there??
