The crafty side of life

What things have I been crafting lately?  Not a lot with all the construction and cleanup going on but I did make cupcakes and a cake for my cousins daughters 16th birthday.  My second all fondant cake.  I like the looks of the fondant but hate the taste. YUK!!!  Just give me the buttercream please.  Anyway, here is a picture of the finished cake.  She loved it! 

That same day I made a german chocolate cake and a blackberry cobbler. YUMMY!  Just thinking about it makes me want to go bake something.  Okay, I'm over that now.  However, when we get moved and I have counter space and that full size oven I am going to do some cooking. 

CMT here we come....

Yes, you read that right.  We have a meeting on June 6th with CMT producers about doing a show here from our camp.  We don't know any details yet but are excited about the opportunity to meet with them to learn more.  Yes, there are many reservations but why worry about it until it is for real.  Never hurts to listen to a proposal.  So to Nashville we will go.  Stay tuned for more!

Driving me Nuts...LOL

This building process is driving me nuts!!!  Okay, I am ready to move furniture in but no power, water, or sewer yet.  Geez, they want an arm and a leg just to run the power, not to mention cutting dang near every tree on the place.  Ridiculous!!! Oh well, the trees are down but good grief the cleanup is going to be dreadful.


Okay, I can't wait any longer.  I have to tell you that my bathroom is wonderful.  It's just a little bathroom for me but I so love it.  This is my sink:

And this is my bathtub:

Don't you just love it!!!  I can't wait to take my first bath!!!  Now you might think I am crazy but hey, how many other people do you know that has a watering trough for a bathtub.  Different!! That's what I like, is to be different.  If I could just get my husband to go along with all the different things I want; we would have a place like no other.  But he can be a real stick in the mud sometimes.  Actually, he was about the sink and tub but now is so proud of himself that I have actually caught him taking credit for those two elements of our house.  LOL! Really?!!

Oh and we have grass! Lots of grass.  Why?  I don't know because it's all going to be dug up putting in the utilities.  So we will just have to plant more grass.  Neverending.

On to another Driving me Nuts topic...

Waiting on grandbaby #4!!

The due date is not until June 1st but she has had all three of the others a little early so we thought we would have a baby by now.  We will have a baby by May 27th though.  I can't wait to meet Klaire.
But all this waiting just drives this old Mimi nuts!!  I am sure a lot of y'all can relate to this scenario.
