Sneaky Peek for Erin

Sure enough, after my last post, I got a Facebook message from Erin...she IS stalking my blog! LOL

She's a good kind of stalker though - my eldest niece, whom I love very much. And she's expecting my very first great-nephew in July!

Thought I'd tease her a bit and show her one of the things I have made for Baby Taven, and a little sneaky peek of his blanket.

Hope you like them, sweetie! I LOVE making tiny baby stuff! I'm constantly squealing "Look how CUTE this is!", while your Uncle Jeff rolls his eyes and laughs at me. He thinks I'm nuts sometimes...but he agrees that these things are cute, even if he won't openly admit it! ;-)

Busy, Busy!

I'm sorry I am such a bad blogger lately! I have just been so busy that I'm having a hard time even taking time to breathe!

With so many babies on the way, I've been doing lots of sewing and crocheting. Plus planning a trip to San Antonio for James and Jackelyn's wedding, and another trip to take care of my mom while my dad takes their younger grandkids camping.

I made this little shirt for my friend, Jaclyn, who is expecting her little Liam in just a few days.

I've also been making a lot of things for my niece's baby, but don't want to show them here yet, in case she happens to stop by. :-)

Yesterday, I made these cute little pillowcases for my soon-to-be grandkids, Moss and Jadie. They are Jackelyn's little sweeties, and I can't wait to officially call them my grandbabies!

My blog posts will probably be few and far between for the next couple months - I have lots of places to go, and things to do! But I'll do my best to post as often as I am able.

Whose Big Idea Was This?

I like popcorn...with lots of butter, and just a little bit of salt. I especially love it at the movie theatre, or freshly popped on the stove. The bagged microwave stuff is okay, but only in a pinch!

I bought one of these huge jars of jelly beans at Costco. My original intent was to take some colorful macro pictures of them, and I still might. Just have to find some extra time, and get the lights out BEFORE I eat all the good ones.

I had never tried a buttered-popcorn-flavored jelly bean until the other day. I put it in my mouth, bit down on it, and immediately spit it in the trash can. It was the most horrid thing I have ever tasted! Even worse than the black licorice ones! Whoever thought of a buttered-popcorn-flavored jelly bean is just crazy, in my opinion. They are all being picked out of the mix and set aside. If Jeff won't eat them, they are going in the trash.

Most of you already know that I don't like bananas, nor anything with an artificial banana flavoring, so it's no surprise that the banana jelly beans are being set aside too. And just look at them! They are even "bruised"! Maybe I could make banana bread with them? Yuck.

There are others that I'm not crazy about (like the above mentioned black licorice), but they aren't quite as offensive to my tongue as the buttered-popcorn-flavor. My favorites are the cinnamon, tangerine and pink grapefruit! YUM!

What's your favorite? Is it buttered-popcorn? If it is, I'll put you on my "crazy" list! Just kidding - I'll love you even if you have weird taste buds! ;-)
