Deer Hunt and Craft Time

Well this week is the deer hunt so I decided to take the week off.  Do to Jon's job situation we could not go hunting all day  like we wanted to.  So having all day while Jon is at work to myself I decided to do some crafting. Here are some of the projects that I have done for Z. I have made stamps with bottle caps, a magnetic board with pom poms that stick to the board, felt boards with a jack o lantern and faces, a snowman in different hats mittens and a Christmas tree with different ornaments. I also made little pictures on popsicle sticks that match  songs, as well as several other different little games that I will show pictures of.  I also have pictures of outfits and bows I have made during a craft weekend with my family in July. I also the few of the shirts and things I had that did not fit or I did not like, such as the purple pillowcase top that I made from a shirt that I had, as well as the blue striped dress from another shirt that I had. Also made a bunch of skirts from shirts I had.  I also found a few tops and bottoms at Walmart for $1 that I altered an added ruffles and a vest to. I made the green fleece jacket from some green fleece I had lying around. I also made some puppets from some old socks I had and I made a board that Z can clip the matching clips too. So we will see if she likes her new toys and clothes.
I also was able to get my deer on Tuesday October 22nd. It was nothing too special size wise, just a two by two, but it will feed my family. We have never had to buy any beef in the almost 6 years we have been married because we have been able to use the deer and elk and antelope that we hunt. We have been very blessed that we been able to fill almost all of our tags and have meat to last us all year long as well as to provide meet for Jon's brothers family. For copyright purposes I have gotten a lot of ideas and instructions on how to do my clothes and projects from my Pinterest board.
I will post another  blog post later on with the story of my hunt and a picture of my deer.

18 Months Already!

Well my baby girl is growing up!  She had her 18 month appointment yesterday and the verdict is she is getting too big too fast! ( At least according to me.) She is holding strong to 95th percentile for height (the exact number is escaping me at the moment), and she was up to 85th percentile for weight at 26.7 pounds.  Boy I am glad she is walking so I don't have to carry her everywhere at that weight.  But then again I would have arms of steel if I did.... I think I will go with her walking still. She is just so dang funny I can barely stand it her grumpy face is so funny!  She will make that face at the most random times.  Like today Jon and I were talking and we asked to get her ball in the other room.  She left to go get it and when she came back she have us that look as though she were saying " You just sent me away so you could talk and I disapprove."
Oh a little snippet about the workout thing.  I am at 151 now so some success.  I have never really been able to lose weight  so I am happy!
