New Toy :)

My sweet sweet husband suprised me and bought me a sewing machine about a month ago. I have really been excited to sew something on it, so I finally decided to make a baby rag quilt. So here is my first sewing adventure.

Who's Smarter??

Question: Who is smarter between a dog named Cashew and a mouse???

Answer: A Mouse!

Today cashew found a field mouse and he grabbed it and threw it around a couple of times and I thought that mouse is a gonner. Then he put it down and started playing with it. And usually you would think the mouse would try to run away but it just sat there and took it. Cashew would bark at it, nudge it with his nose, and paw it. Then all the sudden the tiny mouse started pawing back at him. it was so hilarious! This lasted 10 minutes or so till the mouse finally had enough and buried himself in a pile of dirt. What a dumb dog! Why didn't he just eat it when he had the chance? I thought Corgis were supposed to be smart!

Finally, Our Finished Dining Room

Finally at least one room in our house is finished. The dining room. Here is a picture of the before.

Notice the dark purple wall, the black pergo fake tile on the floor, and the 1 X 4 pine scrap board up as the baseboard and molding. Yuky!!!


This is right after I finished the tile in the kitchen. My wonderful uncle Tim came and helped me learn how to tile and I think it turned out great! There is a square design in the tile where the future table will go.


This is the decorated finished version of the dining room. We got a new beautiful table that seats 10. and it pretty much takes up the whole room. But I like it.


This is the molding around the window, and door frame into the dining room. Its three pieces put together to get a crown molding look.


We have extra cabinets on the side of the dining room. They were almost new maple cabinets so we didnt change anything about them.


So thats the first done room in the house. Hopefully I will get something else done then I will post more pictures.

Meet Cashew....

We got a new puppy named Cashew a few days ago. Ryans sister got a Corgi female that we brought back from Lehi for her on Thanksgiving and we really liked it so we got a male and are going to breed them so they can have puppies next year. Cashew is so funny he looks so weird running through the snow and almost gets high centered. Hes a really cute puppy and Im glad we got him.

New Recipe Blog thats fun for EVERYONE!!!

Ok so this morning I was looking on my sister-in-laws blog going through all of her recipe blogs that are posted on her blog and I got a great idea! Why not make a blog that all my friends and family can post all their favorite recipes on and we can all share on one site! :) So I made a blog tonight to do just that. Its called.........

www.all-R-recipes.blogspot.com.

So this is how I think it will work. If you would like to join me in all the fun of posting your recipes to share with everyone, leave me a comment here and then send me an email at all-R-recipes@hotmail.com. Then I will give you the username and password so you can add your recipes to the blog. But Im not going to give some crazy person the username and password so I have to at least know you Ok??? I think this will be really fun so hopefully everyone gets involved and posts recipes on this blog.

Thanks,

Mandy
