Haines City Wide Yard Sale

Today was the Haines City wide yard sale. Definitely couldn't pass this up! Carly, Shem, and I walked around the whole town going from yard sale to yard sale. I'm pretty excited about what I got!

I LOVE this chair. It's in really good condition too!

This will probably be turned into a lamp

I can't believe I found this Polaroid film!

Vintage clothing patterns. Some of these Vogue originals might be worth some money! I haven't decided of I'll try to sell some of them or not. But there are definitely some dresses and coats here I want!

The bill: $18.75

Tie-Dying

Yes, this is a little old. I'm behind.

Kimberly sent me to a blog where they did this. http://www.ourbestbites.com/2011/04/silk-dyed-eggs-aka-tie-dyed/

You need silk ties so Dylan and I went to Salvation Ar

my and found a nice little selection. Some of the ties I had to fight

Dylan for. He seriously owns over 200 ties. Why would he w

ant more?? Then we cut the liners out of the ties and opened them up.

Then we cut them out big enough to wrap snuggly around the eggs. Wrapped those in pieces of pillowcase (which, by the way, we used a new one. Dylan is attached to his pillowcase haha) and put them in a pot. Filled that pot with enough water to cover the eggs then added 1/4 cup vinegar. Boiled for 20 minutes and......

We had a really good time! I didn't get very good pictures but the eggs looked amazing! I think we will do it again next year but maybe let them boil for a bit longer to try to get more color. Thanks for the idea Kimberly!

Hello Little One!

Everett Bradford Janeway

5-7-11 at 5:07 am. 7lbs 12 ounces, 20 3/4 inches long

Currently Everett is in the NICU. He has a very rare (and still undiagnosed) extremely low blood platelet count. (9,000 instead of 150,000+). He had a platelet transfusion and now they are monitoring him. He will need another transfusion this afternoon. He is undergoing a battery of tests to try to find out more. Bless his little heart. I'll update the blog when we hear more!

UPDATE: Everett is doing really well. It turns out Kimberly's blood cells were attacking his. Now that he is on his own he is able to recover. His platelet count is rising and he should be fine without another transfusion. Once he stabilizes this shouldn't be a problem that will affect him again. We are so blessed to have everything work out for this sweet little boy! I can't wait to meet him :)

Sewing Things

A little of what I have been doing.....

It's Adventure Time! (Amber's birthday present)

The beginnings of my very first ever quilt (they are tops of pineapples)

Little Surprise!

No, it's not a baby :)

As I was walking up to the door after a day in Seattle, Lance comes running out and announces he has a surprise for me! He pulls his hand out from back and.....

surprise!This cute little bracelet he made for me while on a trip to Northwest Trek. Am I spoiled or what! Guess what little fashion trend I'll be sporting :)

Kimberly and Natalie already posted this.....but I can't help it. Look at my Daddy :) 

Hello Oregon

We have been in Oregon for a while now. This is what we have been up too (in no particular order):

• Dylan's trimming his beard as I type
• Enjoying copious amounts of decadent Peppermint White Hot Chocolate and Wildberry Jet Teas
• Growing avocado trees 

• Got my Oregon Driver's license and registered our car here
• New desktop (and Dylan's mess work area)

• Making music (Dylan mostly)

• Gave talks in church
• Mom teaching me how to applique and quilt

I know it's not Christmas, but this pattern was just too cute to pass up!
Also, I'm not done yet.
Also, there are my lovely chunky feet.

I'm blanket stitching around all of the edges. Mom is teaching
me lots of fun things!

• Celebrating my birthday a little early (We will be in Washington for my birthday so we celebrated with Dylan's family early)

Mom and Dad (Isaacson) got me Dominion Seaside for my birthday!
LOVE this game!

(Also I had an amazing roast, homemade mashed potatoes, and Tom's delicious pumpkin pie for my birthday. It was all delightful!)

• Dylan enjoying the aftereffects of a party balloon

• This weekend: A trip to Washing to visit my family and be there for my little brother Keith's Eagle Court of Honor!
