I can't see.. ok I can see!

Have you ever had a sty in your eye!! blah.. I have my first one ever! What the heck.. It hurts so bad. I am debating whether to go to the doctor or not.. they will probably just tell me to go home and wait it out! It's not as bad as some pictures I have seen on the internet. It's just swollen and it burns. I hope it goes away soon! Sorry no pictures as of yet.. not sure I will take a picture. (sorry Amy)

ahhhh

I just got done listing my items on Etsy!! Check it out meoriginal.etsy.com

I don't know why I am getting so nervous about it!!! The whole thing is just freaking me out.. I guess I have never sold anything really before!! Plus I realized I really need to work on my picture taking skills! So I will probably work on that some more and edit my pictures!
Also if there is anybody really interested and lives in the area.. I am really wanting to build up my feedback on etsy.. so I need you to buy it from there.. but if you do..write me a message on etsy and I will drop the shipping and refund it back!!
I have tons more bags to add I just need to get more sewing time!! So it will be a slow process.

Sew.... I've been pretty busy lately!

***It's taken me a little longer to get going than I thought.. Hopefully this weekend I will have some listings on my etsy site. Thanks for the great feed back!! Also I am waiting on some fabric tags I ordered!***



I have been having a creative moment lately. This is what has come of it! Bags! I have been researching them on Etsy.com and I thought.. I can do this! So here they are! I have been working on a name.. Still not sure if I like it but I think I am going with "ME Originals" I am still working on finalizing everything. Tell me what you think!!! Also if you happen to have any other ideas for a name... shoot them this way..

Here are some bags in the works!

Here is one I just finished today!! amybutler garden maze in grey with the happy dot

First attempt

We planted our first little (tiny) garden this year. We started out from seed on our tomatoes but that didn't work so we bought some plants already started. We planted our peas from seed and our carrots from seed. Jordan built a little planter box for us. We weren't really sure what we were doing so we just planted. The peas took over!! We are getting a few tomatoes coming. Today I let the girls pick a few peas.. because they have been begging for days..I was just waiting for them to get a little bigger. Don't mind the big stick holding up the peas.. we are trying to keep them off of the carrots that are barely surviving!



This has been another pass time of ours this summer... jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler then laying out and drying off!

4th of july pics.. .... a little late!

We went down to my parents this year for the 4th. We started the day out with the ward pancake breakfast at the park. Then back for the 18th annual neighborhood kid parade. (yes i did this when I was younger) This was my kids first year! Basically it's a bunch of kids that decorate their bikes and what not. Then back to the park for the neighborhood BBQ! Then I think it was nap time. And then we had a BBQ at my parents house and some fireworks at the end.. which my kids loved!


For some reason my daughter could not keep her finger out of her nose the entire day!

Emma's bike

Dottie's bike!

The start of the parade!!!

My sister had a friend over and this was her little boy!!! So cute! Making a move already!!!

Then dad had to ruin it...!! poor girls just a glimps of what is to come from their dad.

Prairie Days

We had fun at Prairie Days this year! It started Thursday night with the small home town parade. And then a carnival in the park the rest of the weekend. As usual Jordan has school this weekend, managed to enjoy it for little bit. We took Dot to the parade (emma was down at her grandma's house) Dottie loved the parade. Then late Saturday evening we took them to the city park where they had all the ride and what not set up. Dots was just tall enough to ride the rides (36").

They loved the airplane ride the best!
i wish you could see the video better.. dots is holding on so tight!
