My Little Crafty Corner

What do you use for acne treatment? I have never really had to deal with acne before, but lately I keep breaking out, and I don't like it one bit!  I have to admit that I have been "borrowing" some of my sons acne medicine, but that's not working for me.  So I need to find something that does work.  I never thought that at 40 I would have to deal with something that I should have dealt with back in my teen years!

I took Trent out today for my first photo shoot. It went ok, I need to either go out first thing in the morning or later in the evening, as there were too many shadows.  You can click on the photos to view them bigger.

My latest project completed.  I saw this fabric book at Joanne Fabrics and thought I would give it a try.  I am not that great at sewing, but am quite pleased with the outcome of this little book.  At first I kept saying "It's a good thing I love Cohen!"  It was giving me fits, but I finally got it done!

Before I cut it out:

Then the finished project:

I have finally found the perfect swimsuit!! It took me a long time to find one that fit just right, and covered "the girls" properly! And the funny thing is, I had to get a plus size top. I should have looked into this a long time ago! I could have saved myself lots of headaches!  They did have a cute purple one, but they didn't have one in my size, so I was a little bummed!  I will know for next year, if I plan on getting a new one again, to look at the plus size, and then maybe I will find one in purple!

Our bathroom faucet is starting to fall apart. Whenever you lift up the handle, water leaks out of it. I am so tired of having to clean up water on the counter. I have been looking at faucets online, an d really like these Danze faucets, wonder if I can convince the hubby that we need one. It would be just one more project for him to do before we sell the house!  While I am at it, I might even talk him into a new shower head as well!

The moving boxes have invaded my garage! Between my inlaws, and my hubby's uncle, I think we have enough moving boxes. I had went out to the garage to see if I could find the hedge clippers to trim the hedges, and my rose bushes, and couldn't believe how many were in there! Now if only I could get the hubs to call a realtor and get the ball rolling! I want to move NOW!!  We are back to checking out open houses, which I need to stop doing, because I always find the one I want!

The count down is on for Robyn's wedding. I need to step up the diet plan to lose this unwanted weight! I think I might give the diet pill hoodia a try.  If it really can suppress the appetite, then I am all for it!  I need something that will help with all my sweet cravings!  This is what is killing me!  That, and this new found love for those Monster energy drinks!  I will never forgive my hubby for getting me hooked on these!  I no longer want to have money and debit card in my purse!  I have spent way to much money in the last week on these drinks!  

Where would you go to get your horse supplements, if you had a horse?   I wouldn't have a clue where to go.  I wonder if my friend Annie has a good place to go now that they have a horse?  I would love to have a few of our own, but right now living in the city it isn't an option.  

I am now thinking that I might possible want that house out by John's parents, there is plenty of land for us to have a horse!  Trent would absolutely love it!  It just might be one way to get him to not be so addicted to the television and video games!
