Hey

Its been a long time since I have posted. You know life, it does happen. I have been working on crocheted dolls that I thought I was going to sell but that fell through. Guess my price was to much to ask for. Anyway making some zombies for a friend be back soon with pictures...

Saturday

Today C. and I decided to stay in and watch a Zena marathon. So far so good. I am working on a couple of dolls while we watch. A little thing about C. she loves almost all the old t.v. show I like to watch. This summer we watched all of Buffy and part of Angel. We are watching Charmed right now. Im a lucky mom! <3

Made sinigang today for dinner. That is a phillipino soup that is sour. Mine had pork, and baby bak choy. It was delicious!!

Crochet Doll Valentina

She is a mess to me. I really need to find a good tutorial on adding hair. Used the same crochet pattern as before. This time I used safety eyes just to see what it would look like. So, what do you think? C. Named her after valentines day. C. is such a character..

She is Finally Finished

I am an avid crocheter. I don't make my own patterns, although I wish I knew how. I do follow patterns and have found many patterns that I like. This one is from a blogger over at Craftsy. Its a basic pattern for a crocheted doll. Please note it is only the body form you will have to create the clothing on you own like I had to. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=403946.0
This is Violyt. She thinks girls can love dinosaurs as much as boys.

Sooo Very Sorry....

I am very sorry. My daughter had a half day and we went to the park. It took us a little longer than we thought. We went to Walmart, to churches, to the doctors office and to Michael's and I wasted a little bit too much time in Michael's. lol

The soup turned out pretty well. At least that is what C. said. I liked the meatballs but would have preferred the soup to have been chicken stock. I will get it posted by tomorrow I swear...

Wasn't Feeling Well.

So didn't feel to well due to allergies this morning. Its the afternoon now so I must get up and go. Making some soup for C tonight. If it turns out well I will post pic and recipe... Looking for a miracle still don't feel well...

New Beginings for a New Year

Hello. I want to thank you all who have decided to follow or at least check my blog out... I am so excited about doing this because well to be honest I have tried to blog for years now but never felt ready to really put my all into it. But this year, this is my year I can feel it or maybe not my toes are kinda tingly from the cold. lol. So what do you want to know about me. First off lets call me Mom Ward and my daughter C. Ward just to keep a little of the mystery between us. This blog will be filled with stories of my brainy, wacky 8yr old and I. Reviews on movies we have watched on Netflix and all the lovely crafting I do (mostly crochet and drawing). I hope you will stay with us through the year and get to know me, my daughter and all the things we do... Welcome!
