Major Damage!!

If you don't think this is major damage you should have seen it blow up! It was pretty intense. I am not the best shot but it was pretty cool.

Craft Night revived

So Saturday night the girls had a lovely little craft night where we made those cute little flower hair clips. We had a lot of fun. I had only made one before but I was able to teach the other ladies how to do them. I learned how to make them from this blog. They all turned out really nicely.



On another note, I hate not having a car. It is so annoying. I must find one soon or I might go mad.

Also, I have been getting a ton of headaches lately. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I am stressed about finding a car and a life. Hopefully it won't continue too much longer or I may do something drastic...

Veteran's day hike

Veteran's day I didn't have to work which was pretty rad. Michelle and I went on a great hike. We were trying to find another hike but it was no where to be found. It was awesome to get out and get some exercise during the day when I normally wouldn't have. We had a grand time and took some pictures to prove it. Here is a glimpse of what you all missed. . .

Here is a synchronized jumping picture. We pretty much rock.

Advent Calendars

We have kind of slacked off when it has come to our craft/dessert night but it's the holiday season so things get quite busy. We did do advent calendars. Here are a few pictures of the first night we started them. Mine didn't get done until a little bit later but it is on the right.

Apple turnovers and truffles

This week we decided to make apple turnovers and truffles. This week our numbers increased a little bit. My friend Sarah came and so did Jayme a friend from the ward. Overall our desserts turned out beautifully. We did get into a sticky situation when we tried to melt the chocolate to cover the truffles. Next time we will have to do it a little differently. I am excited to see what we do next week! It is craft week! Any suggestions?

Here we are in the process of making the apple turnovers.



Here is the end result! Very delicious.



All the different kinds of truffles!


Here's a closer look of the goodness!

Saturday Craft Night

This week we decided that we would learn how to knit. Michelle was our teacher this week and taught us how to start (cast-on) and also do a basic knit stitch. Hopefully, I will be able to get the hang of it and actually knit something! It took me about an hour and a half to do 5 rows of stitches. In the beginning I thought big by wanting to do a scarf. I soon realized that I am not an awesome knitter and decided to think small and now I want to knit a bracelet. I think it would look rad.

First Dessert Night

This is the beginning of a new tradition. We actually decided to start our desert/craft club. On our first night we decided to make chocolate chip scones and hot caramel apple cider. It was a lovely fall night and everything was delicious. We didn't take pictures but I will do better next week.
