Remembering phone numbers from years ago is not fun. :) 2015 was hard...that is why I didn't blog much. I spent half of the year being angry and the other half sad. My husband had a really hard job and it spilled over into family life. My son left for college an ocean away. We found out we wouldn't get to stay in Germany and would have to go back to the States. We didn't get a choice of where we were living. We moved in February of this year. It was hard...we left behind an awesome city, a great school for Billy, even better people (including neighbors that we only had for a few weeks) and a country we love. We are back in the States...Texas. El Paso was not good to me the first month....I was sick for most of it. We got all our stuff early and it all came within a week and a half period. Our car even came early...which was nice. We got a tiny vacation in Dallas. I'm still unpacking....but all the boxes are gone. Which is a first for me. :) I unknowingly broke my camera on the flight over...so new pictures might not happen for awhile. :( I am hoping to start blogging again. Just thought I would pop in and see if I could. :) Wandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550856989636314029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486374779363625515.post-35403887694751272342015-06-19T00:00:00.000-07:002015-06-19T00:00:07.831-07:00Playmobil 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The stars aligned on Wednesday....people were off work and out of school, the sun was shining, no large crowds. We had a great day at Playmobil Fun Park. The food was good...our favorite hot dog stand was closed, but the pizza more than made up for it. :) We bought more toys. It was the perfect way to spend our 20th Anniversary. <br />

My Husband was holding a position for four months that sucked donkey dick. He was here, but he wasn't. We had maybe a good three and half hours of "family time" during the week (if we were lucky and less if we weren't- which was quite often) and had to squeeze everything else into two days. It was draining for the whole family. We didn't get to do hardly anything....he needed to be near. It really sucked....I said that though. He happily gave that slot up a few weeks ago and went back to his normal job. My oldest had to go to the States to take a placement test and register for classes....he starts college in the Fall.....that sucks even more. Yes, I've cried quite a bit. Loser that I am. We did get a quick trip in one Saturday to a Zoo....we were trying to work our way back into "Car adventures" for the wee one. I cannot work the GPS to save my life...instead of the Nuremburg Zoo I had us going towards the Munich Zoo. We figured it out and I thought I had fixed it (while Hubby had to take a work call) and I screwed the pooch yet again. We ended up at the Augsburg Zoo. It actually turned out to be a good thing. We really didn't enjoy it when we went last year (seeing the place you lived for 2 years bull-dozed does that to a girl). So this time we enjoyed it. I got to see the Baboon mating season...randy little monkeys. That was some crazy shit. We have started to garden again....we had to wait for the Germans to put the flowers out for sale. All our window boxes are up and planted....I took a photo (I need to download it first) or two....we've got more pots to fill. I participated in the Sewing Swap and I need to take photos of that...I'm really behind. I've been destashing and cleaning (family is coming soon and bringing my baby back with them). Spring is here...happy, happy. Hopefully, I can keep up my blog a tad better (no promises...you all know I suck). :)Wandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550856989636314029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486374779363625515.post-80439314784945998202015-01-19T09:14:00.002-07:002015-01-19T09:14:37.267-07:00Sewing Swap<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since I'm such a crap ass blogger...only two people wanted to swap with me and one of them is my sister (who only said she would, because she is my sister). So I'll have to join a swap and I got the notice for this one. There are still spots (hint to Terri and Wendy). :) </div>

I was looking at the calendar and thinking, "Holy crap" .....it has been almost two years since we arrived in Germany. My shop has been shut down for that long. No, I'm not re-opening anytime soon....I'm enjoying our time here in Germany. My Sister and our Father have been hard at work getting their shop up and running. They've had a few setbacks.....health issues, a butt load of travel, work and enjoying retirement. The shop is fully stocked now...they have a little bit of everything....handmade, vintage and craft supplies. If you could pop in and take a look around we would all appreciate it. Thanks. </div>

Boy...the life of an army wife is crazy sometimes. Right after my last post.....life got crazy and didn't slow down until Monday. There was a potluck, a very special lunch, DFAC meals, a unit Holiday party, cookies to bake for soldiers, many visits to Christmas Markets (wee one's first one), a Coffee, an Open House, a Craft Day, visits to Staff Duty/CQs to drop off baked goods, Thanksgiving, Christmas. and New Year's fireworks. Add to that two different work schedules that didn't always sync up and a way too long Christmas break. I was busy...but it was a good busy. I made ornaments for my Husband's Christmas tree and then they got moved over to Squadron...their tree was naked. I made a garland to cover his naked tree. I made Silver Bella houses for ornaments and as gifts. It was nice making things again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I was thinking....because I'm so excited to be all happy and creative again (long, dry spell....sucked) I thought I would put out feelers. How would some of you like to join a swap?? I was thinking of a charm swap......I haven't done one of those in a long time. I was thinking a bee theme, maybe?? What do you think?? No more than 20 swappers.....I'll be lucky to get two people (due to the long drought of blog posts). I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anybody is still out there and wants to create fun shit. Happy New Year!</div>

Let's see...October 9th was the last blog post....oy. I went to Cheb (Czech Republic) and went thrifting with the girls here in town a couple of times. We had a craft day and I taught them how to make mini paper bag albums with tags...Halloween theme.....yes, using up the crafty crap. No pictures....I suck. We went to Lego Land, a pumpkin patch and the Munich Zoo. Did some Army wife stuff. Celebrated two birthdays. We just had another craft day on Wednesday and still no pictures. I taught them how to make bunting.....they used burlap...I hate burlap. Ugh. We made fabric charms and I left them all with supplies to make sunflowers out of coffee filters (which I had dyed ahead of time). I didn't get around to making a bunting until today.....I cut out the pieces yesterday and made it today.....no sew.....fabric glue and a glue gun. I realized that I had given everyone the toweling for the middle of the sunflowers, so I dyed more coffee filters and made rose/peony looking flowers instead. I made 21 one flowers and want to make more. I spent my entire 7 1/2 hours of free time crafting.....it was awesome. I haven't done that in forever. I need to do it more often. :)Wandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550856989636314029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486374779363625515.post-20825206474636262662014-10-09T05:45:00.002-07:002014-10-09T05:45:40.028-07:00Floh Markt Treasures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

6 September- box of stuff in top picture for 20 euro and that lovely pile of vintage American crafty crap was 3/1 euro and I bought 20 euros worth. He threw in extras, because I spent so much. I would've asked for the price for the whole big box.....but there were two German ladies digging along side me. </div>

I go on adventures with a fellow mil-spouse here in Germany (or at least we try to once a week). Today was my day to chose and I chose Kallmunz. I had read about it on another mil-spouse blog: http://milligfunk.com/exploring-kallmunz-castle-ruins/ It sounded like a good day trip. We climbed up those stairs to get to the ruins and walked back the long way (which ended by that sign). We walked around the town for a little bit and then ate at the Trattoria. It was really good pizza and I ate half of it in about five minutes. </div>

A big, fat, slimy slug. The last few months have been crazy and have sucked the life from me. Between Army wife obligations, my oldest graduating from HS, Summer School, two work schedules to juggle and real school starting....I was just not in a blogging kind of mood. I'll try better. </div>

I want to thank "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2" for inspiring wee one to pick out sardines at the German grocery store on Saturday. He tried a couple bites of fish and three eyeballs...very proud (tiny bit revolted). I love the pickles in the movie (so cute) and love the way Chester V talks and uses his hands while talking (very funny). Speaking of movies, I watched some in March: Frozen (Anna was a selfish bitch and I know I'm one of the last people on the planet to have seen it...just watched it Sunday night), "Black Swan" (that is some kind of cray-cray), "Hitchcock" (I have never seen "Psycho"...I know, I know), "Houseboat" (I haven't seen that one in forever...still like it) and re-watched "From Russia With Love" (Wee One loved it). I read some books (I'm on a roll):</div>

We have played way too much Wii Mini-Golf, I made some more chocolate cupcakes (I want to perfect that recipe), we bought a meat slicer (and have used it once...we got it for $8 at the thrift store), started getting the backyard ready for spring (finally have enough window boxes for the whole fence), started sewing the last baby bunting, worked on taxes, tried looking online for a ball gown (sizes suck ass nowadays), made a mammogram appointment and all that other mundane crap (laundry, dishes- you get the idea)....so March was not a wash at all. I may not have blogged much, but I got a lot done. Here are two more links for the frosting recipes I used on the chocolate cupcakes.</div>

I made two kinds...oatmeal cream pie and chocolate cupcakes with thin mint frosting. I went all Irish yesterday as well and made corned beef with veggies and colcannon. Not bad for an Asian-American. :) No pictures of the cupcakes....I was too tired to care by the time I finished them up. :) Here are some of the links (Justin case you get a bug up your bum to make something different): <br />

Now that he has a job.....I'm hoping to get to some crafty projects that have been neglected. Okay, there is housework that needs to be done as well. For example, taking down the Christmas Tree....wee one wants me to keep it up, but it needs to come down. :) Taxes...that would be good to finish up as well. I don't get anything done when he is home. :) That stack of library books won't read itself either.

Hubby deployed and redeployed from Afghanistan. That was the worst re-deployment ever. That is about 0430 in the morning and we had been waiting since 0200. The boys still made it to school.....they wanted to go. It was chocolate chip pancake day for the wee one. There was no way he was missing pancakes....he just kept saying, "van and school" over and over. </div>

Here is what I made for Sarah's swap. The heart charm was what I made, but I didn't just want to send them in a bag with my card. So I sewed up some felt hearts and sewed the charms on to those...much better. I used vintage fabric instead of paper on the heart charms. It was leftover fabric from my Art of Craft heart. Now i'm not sure if I ever posted a photo of that...darn. Oh well, I was excited to learn a new artsy craftsy thing....it was my first time with the clear glass cabochons and tile glaze.</div>

We have been in Germany for exactly one year now. We love our town. We love the food. The weather can be a tad wonky at times. But we are happy to be back. Hubby just needs a job. Re-integration takes forever. He is so up my ass. Hard to get anything done with him around. I did re-arrange the living room (with a little help from Hubby) yesterday. The boys seem to like the re-configuration and addition of a rug. I helped out with a few bake sales since I last blogged. Someone else needs to hold some swaps....I want to make things, but feel I need a reason to do them. I do still have one baby bunting left to make...waiting for the felt and I might make a birthday gift for a party I'm attending next weekend. I don't really want to buy anything if I can make something instead (she likes owls....I think I can handle that). That is about it. We have gone to quite a few stores in town since he has time off. We got a shoe rack the other day (had to make sure I got one before my parents visit again). We have also tried two of the many donor kebab stands in town. None of them live up to the best donor stand in Germany (I don't know if that one still exists, but it was in Augsburg in front of the Dehner's). There are still a shit load of them to try though....half the fun. I need to go.....I'm heading into Vilseck with the Hubby today. I want to go the post thrift stores (there is one on Graf as well). </div>

I haven't really been up to much..just hanging with my boys. I finished the first two buntings a couple of weeks ago. The last lady gave birth to a daughter right as school was finishing up, so that one will have to wait. I went to the December Coffee and we had an ornament exchange. I made two heart ornaments as thank yous (in the smaller boxes and forgot to take a photo). I've watched "Despicable Me 2" more times than a Mother should have to....I'll live. I've read a little, baked a shit ton (and gave most of it away), and started re-organizing the stash. I have a lot of trim...sickening amounts. I need to use that in 2014. :) 2013 was a good year for us...we got to move back to Germany. And I got to take pictures of mushrooms. I'm good. :) Happy New Year!</div>

I finally attended a 3/2 Coffee. They had invited me to the October Coffee and I was too chicken shit to drive in a new place. November's was easier to find, but at night...it was dark. But I had a good time and this was my "Welcome to the Group" gift. It came with a 2CR pin as well....which I put on right away.</div>

I've been trying to get caught up on crafty kits. I finished my projects from the Little Pink Studio Boxes from August and October. I need to find my husband's Dremel to finish September's box. I made the necklace I bought from Andrea Singarella. She offered up some kits from the "Sweethearts on the Home Front" Art Retreat and I bought one. That is the first time I wire-wrapped.</div>

I had some wreath forms that I needed to wrap. I was wrapping one of them and it had a bad spot on the yarn and I had to cut it off and start over. I made a pom pom with that yarn and couldn't stop. I went a little nuts...I would still be making them if my oldest hadn't made a snide remark. I'll make more and use up all my yarn when he's in school. :) </div>

We woke up to snow on Thanksgiving. It wasn't much, but it stayed the whole day. It was gone by Friday. Oh well. We stayed home and got a crap load of Christmas shopping done online. :) </div>

I finally finished the garland for my husband. He wanted Christmas decorations- so he got a yarn wreath and a garland made of felt holly leaves. I was inspired by this: <a href="http://www.pamgarrison.com/2010/11/three-long-standing-favorites-.html">http://www.pamgarrison.com/2010/11/three-long-standing-favorites-.html</a></div>

I rarely try recipes off of Facebook, but someone posted this yesterday and I had to try them. There are actually two 9 x 13 pans of them. They turned out a little too sweet...you were supposed to use Virginia Ham and all I could get was Honey Ham. I think if I do them again (with the honey ham) I'll use different rolls. They are totally edible. :)</div>
