Homemade Pumpkins from whats on hand.

Mason Jar Pumpkins!

Posted by Picasa

Well it's Fall here in Virginia. That means out come all the decorations.
This year I decided to make some easy projects so  Princess A can help me.
This is what I came up with after looking at these ideas over at 
Not So Idle Hands

Now before I start, I haven't seen anything like this out on the web but that doesn't mean its not out there somewhere.

How to make
Mason Jar Pumpkins
You need mason jars and lids
water
food coloring
fabric for the top.

1.)First thing I did was get my Princess A to help me pour water into the mason jars.
2.)Then I added food coloring according to the chart on the back to achieve the color Orange.
3.)We place on the lids and then she proceeded to shake it up with one hand (she broke her right arm)
4.) Next we put them on the table and I went to go through my stash of fabric in hunt for green stem looking material.
5.) Next I sewed up a piece to place around the top like a rubber band would go.
And there done!

Just started the P90X challenge!

Well today was the first day of My husband and I's P90X challenge. To be totaly honest I was scared to start this workout program. I have heard nothing but good things about this program but was worried that it would make me so sore i wounldn't be able to move.


But we shall see soon enough!

My day was a wash!

Yesterday was wash for everything I had planned to do. But it sure couldn't be helped. Our Car decided not to start yesterday morning. We had to make other arrangements for my Husband to get to work. Thank goodness it's a short walk to the bus stop for my son. Well here I am with everyone off to where they needed to go and I'm tasked with trying to get a car to the dealership to be looked at. Well let me tell you that were an adventure all in its own, with the rain coming down.

At least all that it needed was a new battery!

Needless to say after all that, it was fixed and we now have a car again! Yay!

Oklahoma City on Fire!

Well we had lots of wildfires today in the Metro area and even more all over the state. That sucks, BIG TIME! Here is a local tv station and the local newspaper links to check it out.

Today we also installed our outside speakers.



I was worried about my friend who lives in Choctaw Ok. Where they had a major wildfire. I hope she's ok and her property too. I am also sending out prayers to all those families who have been affected by the wildfires.










I had a Homeowners Assocaition meeting tonight as well. When I left the table was rightside up with a 20 lb bag of rubber mulch on it. When I got back it was turned over and a table leg was missing. We had about 60 mph winds tonight.





Hope tomorrow is better!
