Wholesale fabric

Hey everyone,
As some of you may know I have recently started sew....and at this time looking into buying fabric at wholesale prices....the problem I'm running into is that wholesale places make you buy six bolts with your first order (15 yards are one bolt at $4.50/yrd) I know I can sell it at great price and make money just at that, but it is still the upfront cost that is a stumbling block for me.

Soooooo, I was thinking...I know many of you do sew and pay retail, what if several of us get together, decide on the colors and brands of the fabric, and share it. I will have to get tax ID# to buy it, which is not a problem.

Anyway, I just want to put it out there and see if any of you may be interested and if so please let me know how much yards you will be interested in purchasing, so I can kind of see if this will work.

Here are link to one of the wholesale dealer, so you can see some of the fabrics.

For all of you creative and talented

I am in charge of making dessert for Young Women in excellence, next week. I want to make something very special, but achievable for me to do, for 45 people.

PLEEEAAASE !!!! IDEAS ARE WELCOME!!!

Halo's Birthday


I can't believe it's been almost a year sense Troy have brought Halo home on Christmas morning. What a joy that was!!! (though, I wasn't very joyful until he got potty trained)
His Birthday was on November 3rd and....call us crazy, but we had a little birthday party for him.
Cake: canned dog food (we never buy it, it gives him horrible gas, but boy does he loves it) and bacon bits(dog kind) . We had blue candle on the midle and were trying very hard to have him blow it out, after we all have song Happy Birthday to Halo....
Present: a walk in the park, and chewing, cleaning teeth thing (whatever it's called)
Guessed: our neighbors: Dan and Kellie, proud owners of their 4 legged son, Max.
Max and Halo have been friends from the time they have been 8 weeks or so....Good Budd's!!!
Anyway, here some pictures. (I couldn't find them, I think they are on Troy's cell. I will have to post them tonight)

He lives!!!

This Sunday Drew had primary lesson on the "last supper". As I got him from his class, I could tell that something was on his mind and no sooner then the door to the car closed, than Drew climbed up on my lap and start hysterically sobbing.....
"What's the matter, honey?" I said
"Mom......Jesus is dead! He really is. They killed him!"
"Oh, honey.....(I just held him so very tight and sobbed with my little guy)
"Oh, honey, but He lives!!!" I said.
"Do you know why He died?" I said
"No."
"So that you and I can live with Him again"
"You see, where Father lives is very clean and pure. And when we make bad choices, that makes us kind of dirty inside and we can't go back and be with Jesus and Heavenly Father. But Jesus came and took all of the sins or mistakes that we make and died with them, so that if we choose to believe in what Jesus taught us and do what He asks us to do, then we can be clean and able to one day come to our Heavenly Fathers Kingdom and live with Him and Jesus."
Drew was still sobbing......
"Honey, do you want to say a prayer so that you can feel in your heart that Jesus is alive?" I asked
He nodded.... Still holding him tight in my arms I sobbed my little heart out to our Father in plea that my little guy will know of this great truth and be comforted.
We got home and watched "He is Rison". There is a little boy in the story that I think Drew saw himself in and could relate the sadness that that little boy felt....But then the miracle of Resurrection......
He turned to me with his big eyes and amazement in his voice, he proclaimed ,"Mom, you right, He lives, He does. Jesus is alive!!!!

"How grateful I am for the little ones...for the primary lesson....for the Spirit that guided me as a mother and most of all for my Savior! In deed He lives and I was testified of it this Sunday, as my little guy was gaining his first testimony.

Kids sleepover

The kids had some of their friends over for a sleepover last night. We have set up tent in Rylee's room and all 6 of them climbed in and I'm guessing had a good time...
This morning, being the great mommy, that I am, I went and got some chocolate chips and cream whip to make some sweet and very unhealthy pancakes.....(they actually were wheat....so not completely unhealthy)
Anywhoooo....I saw this candy at Ream's, those are REAL SCORPIONS!!!! I guess, they were farm grown for human consumption ( can't imagine who would want to eat those? ) So, they were skinned and the pincher was taking out...Store also had candy with worms in them....that made my stomach squirmy....
Boys thought this candy was the greatest thing ever created....

O.K. so some of you know and some don't....but I do like to sow....and just resently started to sow & sell some things. Look what I made for Rylee's booster seat....I'm sooooo exsited....

My early inspiration

So as I am folding laundry this morning I was listening to the KBYU and Richard G. Scott was talking on importance of a strong testimony....the things he chose to share were seemed to speak to me and I have a desire to share with those of you who are interested to read.....
If you have 5 min or so, click on this link and it will open up his talk....I hope you get something out of it like I did....

Camping







This past weekend we went camping with Tuttles. Dan, the mountain man that he is, has found a wonderful spot for us. We were high in the mountains and a way from everything. Halo and Max were able to run free and get themselves into all kinds of crazy stuff. They were happy dogs!!!
Kids LOVED it as well and are excited to do it again. For me.....well, it was fun until I had to go to sleep but couldn't .....I was freezing all night and all my bones ached like crazy....I'm getting old....
Anyway, Troy and I are motivated to shop for some worm sleeping bags and blow up mattress for our old body's.....
