Sewing Project Part 2

Here is the diaper bag I made for my Sister-In-Law. I put a pocket on each side this time. I know the pictures aren't the best. I took them with my cell phone.

Sewing Project

I made this diaper bag for one of my co-workers. She's having her 1st girl. I had so much fun making it! It's the first thing I've actually done with my sewing machine besides hemming pants. I will definately be making more of these diaper bags! (BTW One is on the way for your little guy Lynette, Hope you don't mind!)




Aren't these bags awesome!! Let me know what you think.

A Sunday Drive to Sun Valley --- Pause Playlist First


For Valintines/Mandys B-day we decided to take a drive to Sun Valley for the day. With Valintines on Saterday and Mandys Birthday on Monday we figured that Sunday would be a good day to spend together. So we packed up the 4-Runner with our snow gear and Jazzy and headed out on our adventure. We went through Mt. Home and then north to Sun Valley. We stopped in Sun Valley Resort and took a stroll through the resort with Jazzy meeting a new friend and not so friendly Swans. We then continued north to Stanley, ID were we cut across west to Lowman, ID. In Lowman we ran into a VERY large heard of Elk and got some great photo's as well as video. We also saw 2 Bald Eagles, A doe Mule Deer, and one crazy Racoon crossing the road in front of us. Then from Lowman we headed south to Idaho City, and along the way I thought that I had seen a cougar darting across the hill side. We stopped and backed up to try and see it again, but what ever it was long gone. From Idaho City we then returned home. After about a 10 and a half hour stroll through Idaho and 5 to 6 hundred mile drive, we were glad to finally get home to our warm bed and prepare for a new day.

And The Verdict Is.....

The fuel pump and fuel pump relay! Not a cheap fix, but I should have my car back either by the end of today or early in the day tomorrow....

What a week, and it's only Wednesday

This week we have been dealing with my car being broken down. What's wrong you ask? Well if only we knew we could tell you. I went out Monday morning to warm up my car. It started up just fine, and I went back in the house for about 10 minutes while my car defrosted. when I went outside to leave for work my car was no longer running. I tried to start it with no luck. I ran in and got Jas and he tried to jump start it...STILL NOTHING! Jas took the battery out and we took it to Schucks to have it tested. They said "yep you have a bad battery". YAY easy fix, or at least one may think easy fix right? We bought a new battery, went home, put the new battery in and again NO LUCK! Time to call in reinforcements!!! In this case my awesome father-in-law (Love you Gail, Thanks for all your help! We owe you big time!!). He said well I don't think it's your starter or your alternator. I think you might have condensation in your gas line from it being so cold and only having 1/4 tank of gas in the car. YAY also an easy fix! Just go buy this additive and that should dry it out. Key word here is SHOULD! Yep you guessed it still NO LUCK!! My poor car is now in the shop, and we wait for the mechanic to call and tell us whats wrong. I'll let you know the results when we find out....Like I said great week so far and it's only Wednesday! Can't wait to see what the rest of the week has in store for us, but I think it can only get better from here, or at least I hope it gets better!!
