CraftsMAN

Some of you would be surprised to know while others of you already do that David is quite the crafty guy. Now that I am married and no longer live with my mom who do I go to when I need a button sewn on or help finishing a Halloween costume? Why David of course! I don't know if he's always been this way or if it started with his love of ripping out car stereo systems and revamping them, but the guy's definitely got a knack for this sort of thing, and for that I thank him.

On Saturday David and I took advantage of Syrie taking a nap by....doing crafts. I found this cool door decoration that I wanted to make, courtesy of, Pinterest and since we already had all the supplies we went ahead and got to it. Here is a collection of pictures from the QT we spent together.


                                      We started with a simple cut out of four square cork boards.

Next we used colored construction paper and felt to make the faces of each Halloween character.




Here is our masterpiece. Maybe masterpiece is pushing it, but nonetheless we are pretty happy with how it turned out. And I think I speak for both of us when I say we had a good time making it. Happy Halloween everybody!

Writing Prompt #1

I stole this idea off of my friend's blog (thanks, Karah). Prompt: Current Photo, Introduce, 15 Interesting Facts Current Photo:  This photo was taken at Piramida in Waterloo.

I work in Waterloo at one of the Deere facilities in Supply Management. In my spare time I enjoy your standard activities: hanging with family and friends.  I love to entertain, and I'd consider myself a foodie because I have a great deal of interest in food: I like to make it, eat it, serve it, entertain with it, and so on and so forth. I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, traveling and going to see as many shows centered around comedy as I can. 15 Interesting Facts:   I can't promise these will be interesting, so lets call this interesting or strange, and hopefully you will...

Days 5-8

Day 5 (Thursday): Woo hoo! Half way there J I wish I could say this has been easy as pie, but then there I am again, thinking about pie. I will need to go on a no fruit diet after this cleanse because I’m so tired of fruit. I keep telling myself it’s what’s good for my body. Day 6 (Friday): I didn’t write much yesterday because I had a lot going on (more to come on that in a future post), but I did almost crack last night. I was crabby and hungry and I came home to David making a pizza.   The last thing I wanted was fish and veggies, but I sucked it up and made some tilapia- not the greatest thing in the world, so I think I’ll stick with cod- it was delicious the last two nights I made it. Today and the rest of the weekend are going to be tough. Weekends are tough anyways, what with all the opportunities to drink and eat food, bad food , late at night. Why is it that I can’t go a day without getting a headache? This is getting old. I’m crabby, so you’ll have to excuse the attitu...

Short Hair, Don't Care

Just a quick post on a BIG change I made last month on a whim. I chopped off all of my hair. Something I've been talking and thinking about for a few years. My mom finally got the courage to do it after much persuasion. Enjoy the below before & after pics.
