Just a quick update! The storm is wobbling and at this point will come ashore just before the Tampa Bay Area.....but as we all know that can change by the next update! Our power goes out frequently with any windy storm, but Praise the Lord! At this point it doesn't look like it will come up the bay which could/would be devastating for our communities.

Now why I'm really back on! I like when bloggy friends comment! Thank you! I get too excited...... Here is the what Nestor thought was purple polka dots on green walls. My camera has run out of batteries! So I guess I won't show my headboard and bedroom drapes made out of blue and light coffee colored table clothes...... I need to budget in batteries this month!

This room was/ still is the Lady Bug Princess Room. There are 4 big Ladies around the room and there used to be a gauzy canopy with purple tulle and crystals hanging from it when one of the older chicks had it. The new occupants prefer shabby so the Ladies will be leaving if the house doesn't sell.......
Thanks for the comments!
Hurricane Par-tay?
No! A mistreatment party at Nestor's Place! Truth be known I'm getting ready for the storm...but I thought I would take really quick moment to throw up some pics. Okay, don't actually get a tummy ache when you see them. They are not me best work and my computer is having some serious problems! These are before I knew it was okay not to do it the "proper way". They are all lined. Even my long ones in other rooms are. I'll not be doing that again! I did, however use spray paint and necklaces! That has to count for something????

Here's a bit of the schoolroom.

Here's the kitchen. I used spray paint for the clippys. The walls are actually cream and the color of the treatment is waayy off! It's got green, cream, red and blue in it.


Here's the little chicks room. I made hooky- do's out of necklaces.

So that's it. All dollar fabric and clearance rods.

I gotta go gas up and re- arrange the deep freeze in case the powers out over the next couple of days. Seriously, if you live on the Gulf Coast, be prepared! I hate doing it, but I've been in areas hardest hit after a storm and it's horrific! So get some water and non- perishables, clean your bath tubs, get your flash lights, and all your in important papers. Seek a shelter if your in doubt about your own homes safety. Just be prepared as much as you can be. But don't FREAK OUT! The Lord knows what each of His children needs.

The chicks were thinking they might not have school.....oh the treachery of homeschool. Never a break! HAHA!

Such a cute blog. My three daughters are grown up and giving us the cutest granddaughters now. Hope all goes well with that crazy weather you're having! Mimi Sue

I think you definitely qualify by using necklaces! I adore the ladybug room. Good luck with Fay - she looks meaner than that French hurricane Edouardo that was so wimpy and didn't bring us a DROP of rain here in Austin! I've actually been through a category 5 - Beulah years ago. So as the weatherman says - hunker down! Stay safe. Hugs, Nancy

So Much to say.

Good Morning All! We had a wonderfully busy, four day weekend here. We started out our time together visiting a reenactment of Civil War life. We had a chance to here the cannons blow and the muskets crack. A little unnerving when your aren't prepared for it. All the Dads in our group were entranced. We learned about Morse code and the telegraph service. How to dress for day, evening and what type of hoop skirt was used for different activities. Everyone enjoyed some sarsaparilla, fried peas, parched corn and fry bread. The chickadees has lots of new ideas for ball gowns and bonnets. ( I think we will have a busy summer.) These were war refugees getting dressed for the day. The hairstyles were so intricate! Did you know that they made specific chairs for men and women? The hoops that women wore couldn't fit into chairs with arms. These chairs were also sold in pairs because married couples were the ones most likely to need them. After leaving the Raid we then headed to Bocia

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th
