It's beginning to look alot like CHRISTmas!

**BEWARE all related readers(especially female cousins)this post will most surely contain CHRISTmas present pictures and/or descriptions. Proceed at your own risk and possible dissapointment.** It's 2 days peeps. You can wait!Here is a picture of sweet Echo to distract you. It's not the greatest picture, but she was soooo cute trying to eat the CHRISTmas wreath.

I have been a busy little beever this week with the makin' of the presents. I choose to make all the cousin presents and I am almost done. I made an A&M throw quilt for the KIG. He's named after the football field so I felt it was appropriate. And since hes the little guy at 7 and a half it's a bit easier to make a blanket his size!
Basically I was being lazy. But hey, don't hate!! I had a super busy week last week and got nothing done personally.

And I am in the process of making pot holders for the girls. I think they are pretty darn cute if I do say so myself and I will now provide photographic proof!
I HEART ironing! is that strange?
the apple ones go to a friend and the more colorful ones to the cousins!I also have some pinned and ready to sew with mushrooms, mice and bumblebees on them. Here's to hoping that they like them.

The big boys are easy. Homemade food and they are set. So tomorrow is baking day.

Now, lets keep our fingers crossed that I get a LAPTOP for CHRISTmas so I can stop being that weird blogger at the library or the girl who steals her Mommas computer while shes in the bathroom!

Ridin' the TRAIN

For my birthday I rode a train. No lie, an honest to God steam engine. It was A-MAZING! My parents were basically tired of hearing me talk about how much I desired to ride an authentic train so the Saturday after my birthday we all piled in the truck and headed to Rusk, Texas home of one of the Texas State Railroad depots.We boarded the train which was super duper cool and the ride began.

OMG!!

So stinkin' worth the wait. I had the best time! It was cold and fall like and foggy. My personal all time favorite weather. I am a rainy day kind of girl and I was estatic. The leaves were all red and gold and there were pinecones.

I would love to tell you more, but I have a feeling y'all might be a little bored. Feel free to email me if you want the entire story. Instead I will leave you with some photos. Be jealous. It's ok.
