</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to do a little post on Cody's Lego party that we had today. He had 4 friends come over to play & I must say they were quite rowdy bunch but it was lots of fun. Our pinata was a success ~ it didn't last nearly as long as I thought it would but we didn't hang it high engough & the boys could hit it from the top. Oh well...they still had fun. We also played pin the "dot" on the lego block & then we had a contest to see who could put their little lego sets we had bought together the fastest. I think all the kids had a good time. I'm pooped now! lol</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a few pictures of the fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I hope to have them done tomorrow to share with you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm also trying to finish up a new punch needle I started & a Santa head. I feel like I'm all over the place ~ while my salt dough has been cooking or paint has been drying ~ I've been sewing or punching! It feels good to be making stuff again ~ I felt like I was in a rut! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My aunt is taking Cody to a Lego event on Saturday in Cleveland (about 2 hrs from here). He's going to be so excited!! I'm not telling him till tomorrow night because I know it'll kill him to have to wait to go! He's a major Lego fan! We're actually having a Lego birthday party for him in 2 weeks ~ his first "friends from school only" party! lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to stop in & share with you one of my favorite & most crazy Halloween "costumes" yet. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cl0pCfMB1E4/TqjHdvWyc1I/AAAAAAAABE0/E5LBcyeDr5s/s1600/100_3454.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cl0pCfMB1E4/TqjHdvWyc1I/AAAAAAAABE0/E5LBcyeDr5s/s320/100_3454.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just look at my HUGE belly!! My son was born 2 1/2 weeks after Halloween.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> My ex hubby painted my belly for me & I passed out candy to trick or treaters sitting down...it was so funny!! Some of the kids didn't even realize it was my belly hanging out. I had a blast!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyone ever done anything like that?!? I always say if I have another baby some day I'd love to have another late Fall baby just so I could paint my belly again!! lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope everyone is enjoying their week ~ I'm off to work on some crafty stuff (finally! yay!). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have been a bad blogger! It's been over a week since I've posted! Holy Canoli!</div><div style="text-align: center;">You'd think since I've been slacking on blogging that I was really busy or something but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I've just have a major case of the "lazies" lately (in all aspects of my life! lol). But I will share the few things that have been going on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First I finished my 1st punch needle. Now of course it's not perfect but I think it turned out pretty good. Now I just need to turn it into a lil tuck. I can't wait to start my next one!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9qxF0Mr_52o/Tp8IaH6gXNI/AAAAAAAABCo/n4dtXGsmQTo/s1600/100_3448.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9qxF0Mr_52o/Tp8IaH6gXNI/AAAAAAAABCo/n4dtXGsmQTo/s320/100_3448.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last Friday Miss Carmen from Primcats came over & we had a crafty night. We made two ghosts for her porch ~ drank a few amaretto sours & some wine ~ rearranged some of my stuff ~ and had a good time. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's her new ghosties</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g0hgcW5_IMs/Tp8IS8XpchI/AAAAAAAABCg/mHJ69iT6H-g/s1600/100_3444.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g0hgcW5_IMs/Tp8IS8XpchI/AAAAAAAABCg/mHJ69iT6H-g/s320/100_3444.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Carmen also had a sewing lesson & sewed the bodies of the ghosts all by herself! I'm happy to report she did an amazing job & didn't even get injured!! lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DoG2mSDFNY0/Tp8INzz_hhI/AAAAAAAABCY/9IeXkFir-GU/s1600/100_3443.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DoG2mSDFNY0/Tp8INzz_hhI/AAAAAAAABCY/9IeXkFir-GU/s320/100_3443.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She brought me two firkins to redo for her ~ since I've been slacking I haven't started them yet, but Carmen I promise they are on this weeks "to do" list!! lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Other than that, not a lot has been going on here. It's been rainy the last few days so it hasn't helped my laziness. I did attempt my first pumpkin roll for the hubby today. I don't like pumpkin roll so I haven't tried it so we'll have to wait till he gets home later to see if it gets the seal of approval or not!! Usually Lil Raggedy Angie makes him one for Christmas but he just couldn't wait that long this year! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well that's it for me ~ hope everyone is enjoying their week! I promise to try to be a better blogger!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div align="center">I'm still trying to finish up my cabinet. It used to have red plaid in the top door panels but I wanted to try something different so I got some muslin to put in the panels instead. One side is pleated & one side is not. I'm not sure I like either side. The hubby says it's too bright. I think I may have to keep looking for some fabric. What do you think?</div><div align="center"><br />

The unpleated one is just barely on that's why it's kinda wavy ~ it would be smooth if I leave it. Do you think the muslin is too white? I'm not sure what I think so any input would be appreciated. :O) I'd love some tin punch panels but that's not in the budget!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Oh ~ I almost forgot! I started my first punch needle yesterday!!! WAY back when, Rhonda from Simple Thyme Prims had sent me a kit, a how to book, & a pattern to try out. Well I finally remembered to get some thread yesterday & I think I'm going to really like doing it! Of course I need LOTS of practice. I had only bought 2 colors because I forgot my pattern at home, so I didn't get too far.</div><div align="center"><br />
