Made Me Laugh..

So this has absolutely nothing to do with crafts but it made me laugh/smile and is a great way to start the weekend! I think we should have fun and add our own captions to some of these pictures. Write your answer in a comment with the coordinating picture number. If we like this idea maybe we will have a "Funny Foto Friday" Party! Enjoy!
**I found all of these pictures online

Rag-Tie Scarf

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. The funeral is this Saturday in Iowa so unfortunately we are unable to attend due to my husbands school schedule. My FIL is on a plane right now to Iowa to be with his father and siblings during this difficult time. We are keeping our routine the same and living life to the fullest just as Jerra would want. Thank you again.

This is a re-post but all of my friends have been asking me to show how to make this again so here it is!

As most of you know I am a big believer of making cute, easy, inexpensive things that you and your kids will love. So before Christmas I sat down and tried to come up with something along that line for my daughter. The first thing I made her was a rag tie scarf. As you have already seen in this previous post that I did, it is really easy to do rag tie. First you start off with however much fleece you would like to use. I bought half a yard since I wanted to make a skinny scarf since my daughter is only 2. Btw...I got a steal at Joann's on a fleece! It was originally 15 a yard which was on sale for 7.30 and I only bought half a yard which made this less than a 4 dollar scarf! Anyway, back to the tutorial...

Place equal size pieces of fabric wrong side towards each other.

 

Cut 2.5 x 2.5 inch squares from all four corners (or bigger depending on width of scraf) Cut 2.5 inch slits 1 inch apart on all four sides.

 

Tie the strips together following this tutorial and you have an adorable, inexpensive scarf to keep yout munchkin warm!

Woo Hoo! I finally got a picture of her lol

A Sad Day...

It is a sad day in the Hons Household. About 45 minutes ago I was on my way to work when my husband called and informed me his grandmother passed away. This is his father's (whom we live with) mom so it is really hitting us hard. She has been having some illness for the past year in which the doctors have been trying to figure out what is going on. They live in Iowa while their children live in Arizona and California so they have had to deal with the doctors via telephone. About a week ago she was hospitalized due to having a diabetic episode. They have been running tests ever since and determined she was well enough to go home. On the way home from the hospital she passed away, while his grandpa was driving her. She was 81(?) while he is 82(?). We don't know any more information at this time since it just happened today and we are all in shock.
She leaves behind 4 children, 12 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchilren(one of which is my munchkin). This previous summer my hubby, daughter, and I were blessed with being able to spend 4 days with her in her home while on a family road trip. She was always full of love, life, and compassion. She will be missed tremendously. As you can understand I will not be on too much in the next few days while this sinks in. Please keep our family in your prayers, especially my hubby, his mom, and his dad. Thank you.
