<br />
QUESO:<br />
<br />
1 large block of Velveeta---cut into cubes<br />
1 can Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup<br />
1/4 cup milk<br />
<br />
dump these ingredients into your crock pot. start the melting process while preparing the beef mixture.<br />
<br />
1 lb hamburger<br />
5-6 fresh Jalapenos<br />
1/2 white onion<br />
<br />
chop your onion. remove the ends from the jalapenos, remove seeds from inside and chop your jalapenos. you can leave a few in for added heat. depends on your taste. add to hamburger and brown. (it looks like a lot but trust me, don't skimp on the jalapenos)<br />
<br />
put browned hamburger mixture into cheese mixture and "melt". serve with tortilla chips. Serves best when fresh. can also have some sour cream on the side for extra yumminess. <br />

<br />
i doubled the pipe cleaners and made the word C R E A T E. doubling them made it a little more sturdy. all you do is wrap the cleaners around each other. <br />

cut your scrap pieces around 3/8 inches. the thinner the easier to work with. trust me, i found out the hard way. just a few dabs of glue here and there is all you need. <br />

a few months ago when my dad was ill, my sister came to town. she is always here at the drop of a hat. i know this isnt easy for her, but we are ALL blessed that she doesnt ever hesitate. this trip was even during a wild summer rain storm we had. the girl almost didnt get to land---and its only funny because she hates to fly. im not joking. on the way to the airport, i told her son (my fav nephew) omg your moms going to be freaking out!! the roads were flooding and it had been pouring for hours. but by the grace of god she made it. shew! (cuz i really needed her at my side)<br />
<br />
over the years she has made me lots of things. a few years ago we had seen this pattern. the sister dolls. we vowed to make each other one. well, she sent me mine this year for my bday. ive been slowly working on hers this weekend, but cant show you her finished product just yet. <br />

when she was here (for the 2nd time in a month) we picked up the knack for crocheting. ive dabbled and so had she, but it was good therapy for our dad. so we brought him to my house, shopped for loads of yarn and spent the week doing some therapeutic scarf making. it was good for all 3 of us. :)<br />

shes coming AGAIN in a few weeks for thanksgiving. its our annual thing now. we slave for the family because after all of these years of my mom doing it, we figured it was time to step up and give her a break. the laughter starts the second she gets here and doesnt end until she flys away. <br />

a few years ago i bought this at a big craft show in boulder city, NV. my sister and i actually rock-paper-scissored for it. wait, now that i think about it, we both wanted the other one. obviously i lost. <br />
<br />
anyhoo, ive had this for at least 10 years. it was never a finished product, just plain wood. last year, i painted it black. not what i really wanted, but dealt with it. the other night, i got a wild hair and re-painted it. she sits in my craft/sewing room. holds my favorite quilt books.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.handmadebyheidi.blogspot.com/">Heidi </a>has been trying to take this off of my hands for awhile. she even had some guy give her an estimate of what he would charge to build it. sorry Heidi....you cant have it just yet. (ill put it in my will for ya). <br />
<br />
i did a do-it-yourself chalk paint method. i used plaster of paris, water and paint. finished it off with a good coat of wax. im in LOVE with it again! <br />

after avoiding my craft room for the past few months, im spending the next few days organizing it AGAIN. i swear its a never ending job. but with xmas right around the corner, i need to make a few gifts and cant remember where anything is! if i had a closet in this room, id be in heaven. but its sort of a den/office. i even showed my hubby some plans for built-ins to which he looked at me like "your kidding right?!!!?!!". yeah, we will scrap those. for now.....<br />

As I said in my previous post I was lucky enough to have my sister here with me for fnsi. We changed things up a bit tho. We crocheted!!! We are even still doing it days later. Our dad has always crocheted and since he has been a bit under the weather he hadn't done much. But we did get to spend a fabulous day with him trying to learn some techniques. (see pic below of them hard at work on the couch) It was heavenly. We both finished a scarf by Sunday. YAY and even started on some granny squares too.<br />
<br />
The winner for this months fnsi is:<br />

(boo, hiss, sigh) BUT We are still going do fnsi each month because we LOVE this event. it gives us the push to sew. Once in awhile we will do a surprise giveaway for special occasions. cuz we love all of you loyal followers!!!<br />

Head on over to Heidi's blog at www.handmadebyheidi.com and put your name on the list.<br />
<br />
My home Pc is messed up. I'm blogging via phone and it's annoying. I'm having a rough year I tell ya.<br />
<br />
My sister is going to be in town so I'll get a sewing partner this month for fnsi.<br />
Yay!! Even though it will be nice to have a person to sew with we are dealing w some family medical issues. Not fun! But we are a close family and always there for each other so I know things will be ok.<br />
<br />
It's not me....its my dad. But God gives you strength when you feel there isnt any left.<br />
I'm hanging onto that.<br />
<br />
Alright enough of the poor me :)<br />
<br />
Can't wait to see what you all make! See you Friday !Bobbihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04373518892606928777noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787856058390777496.post-82486366935545956602012-09-16T12:27:00.001-07:002012-09-16T12:27:52.591-07:00It's fall y'all Autumn is here. Well kind of. In my neck of the woods it means we might cool down to the 90s. I take what I can get! <br />
<br />
I made some fall decor this weekend. Courtesy of a pumpkin at michaels, some Martha Stewart craft paint and a dollar store candlestick.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also wanted to show you a mug rug my sister made me. We have both loved bags since we can remember. It's too cute to use for a sweaty cup so I hung it up for decor.<br />
<br />
I'm still having computer issues uploading photos to my blog. For now my phone will have to do. But why does it put all the pics at the bottom? <br />
<br />
Ps I think fnsi is this Friday. Heidi and I will have to post the signups tomorrow.<br />

<br />
it measures 36x36. i wanted to make a small one for laying the baby on the floor or a stroller quilt. she lives in North Dakota.....maybe i shouldve put 3-4 layers of batting cuz its so cold there. LOL!!<br />

(this post is heavy on iphone pics)<br />
<br />
i didnt participate in FNSI last night because i was unpacking THIS. loads and loads of beach gear. can i just say that when you live this close to cali, you MUST invest in the gear. we have a canopy, chairs, coolers, lots of towels, footballs, smashballs, bad mitten, boogie boards..... the list goes on and on and on.<br />

i did manage to whip up an adorable lucys crabshack bag to take with me on the trip. the pattern is the charm party tote by quilts illustrated. most LQS sell the pattern. but it can also be found <a href="http://www.quiltsillustrated.com/shop/Quiltsillustrated-Patterns/p/ps016-Charm-Party-Tote-Pattern.htm">here</a>. its been my absolute favorite bag to make!! <br />

i learned from <a href="http://handmadebyheidi.blogspot.com/">Heidi</a> a few years back that you keep this seasoning in the fridge after opening for it to keep its freshness. i seriously never read the label. it is found in your regular seasoning isle at your local grocery store. <br />

<br />
all you do is get a cracker, pile on some cottage cheese and sprinkle as much or as little of the seasoning as you want. pop the whole thing in your mouth (if your a pig like me) and make a bunch more. because trust me, you cant eat just one.<br />
<br />

my cousin <a href="http://handmadebyheidi.blogspot.com/">Heidi at handmadebyheidi</a> had been talking about this fabric all last week. (ps...<a href="http://handmadebyheidi.blogspot.com/">HEIDI </a>is having a fabulous favorite things giveaway!) <br />
<br />
The fabric line is Lucys Crabshack by Sweetwater. she was sending me photos and such. making me drool. so friday i finally got to raid my quilt store! i LOVE LOVE LOVE it! the aqua color is lovely! its so summery and this girl needs a new beach bag. Im only 3-4 hours from the California beaches and this girl is planning a trip soon. think ill be too scared to actually take it ON the beach? it might get all sandy and nasty. LOL<br />
<br />
my sister bought me this gnome. she knows ive been on the hunt for a cute simple one for awhile. well she proceeded to send me photos everyday for about a week of him at her house. taunting me......teasing me to come get him. <br />
<br />

I would love to tackle a large scale one for my ipad, but this template took me awhile. after working all day and being brain tired, i was having trouble getting the 5" triangles correct. sewing it together was a breeze. <br />
<br />
i also chose to use crushed walnut shells for the stuffing instead of rice. wait.......i just realized it can be used as a pincushion also!!! :) :) :)<br />
<br />
i need to start surfing your FNSI projects. i seriously havent sat down all day. this morning started with garage sales (only 2 good finds) then errands errands errands. i ran to the dollar tree for some items needed for another pinterest project in the works. check back this week for that update. <br />
<br />
dont forget to check back tomorrow for the winners. my co host <a href="http://handmadebyheidi.blogspot.com/">HEIDI </a>and I will both be drawing a winner. nothing but love for our FNSI crafters!<br />

<br />
do you all know how addicted to AQUA i am right now? im not even embarrassed to say it.<br />
curious tho, do you consider it Aqua or Turquoise? is it the same thing??? to me, aqua is bluer and turquoise has more of a green tone. but thats just my opinion. <br />
<br />
tomorrow ill be taking my fabulous mother out shopping at HomeGoods (our fav store) and then to lunch. build up an appetite first!!! Happy Mothers Day weekend to everyone!!!<br />
<br />
