Probably not the kind you're thinking of though. I have to be honest, and I just don't love basketball and March Madness the way I used to, but still, it's fun. BUT about a year and a half ago my family moved to a small farm. <br />
<br />
Things were/are pretty wild out here (landscape is in crazy shape), and we have our work cut out for us. And needless to say, with an 8 month old baby MUCH of that work rests on the shoulders of my husband. Today he was out shopping down some half dead cottonwood trees, bug infested elm trees, spraying our vineyard of table grapes for weeds, and I don't know how much more, but he got a lot of work done today. So proud of him. But here comes the spring/March madness of cleaning up the yard, getting the garden ready to plant, spring cleaning, and all that good stuff. PLUS add in the family room remodeling project that I started in January and still isn't done, then you'll look at me like I'm crazy, to which I'll reply, I know. I'm very aware!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I did manage to get some new products up this week!! Take a look!<br />

YAY!!! I finally got into <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/products.php?cat=13">my site,</a> everything is worked out and I uploaded some new stuff!!!<br />
<br />
Also check out my new offerings at <a href="http://www.onestorydown.com/">www.onestorydown.com</a><br />
<br />
PHEW!! So I have a serious love hate relationship with winter. On the upside, I don't have to work in my yard. I can eat "comfort food" to help my body "maintain it's body weight as I expend more calories to stay warm". I love scarves, and hats, and other various knits. Boots. I love my boots. I get to make soup a lot, and hot chocolate. OK, so basically the best part of winter for me is the food. <br />
<br />
Funny thing just happened! My kids come in, pushing each other on a 5 gallon bucket of flour. I ask, "are you making pancakes?" They get really excited about the prospect of having breakfast for dinner, to which I reply, "you don't have to, we have plenty of soup in the fridge." The look my daughter gave me was PRICELESS!! I could see the little wheels turning in her head as she tried to think of a response to that, since it was clear on her face that soup was not what she was wanting!<br />
<br />
This soup by the way:<a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2014/01/hamburger-soup/">http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2014/01/hamburger-soup/</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivo0vB-d2zzszy9lvbIhp4uCQasetMO7nog-5hDHokFVv-iNLmy48BKpyQo5VZ5fMhtctU5bFCeZ8Oo_mH4GmUGWojIovOqq9BBd2il0UeX2Q9ybv-a5W5tQtoJHzQr5Aso0FQutcb_mDW/s1600/hamburgersoup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivo0vB-d2zzszy9lvbIhp4uCQasetMO7nog-5hDHokFVv-iNLmy48BKpyQo5VZ5fMhtctU5bFCeZ8Oo_mH4GmUGWojIovOqq9BBd2il0UeX2Q9ybv-a5W5tQtoJHzQr5Aso0FQutcb_mDW/s1600/hamburgersoup.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
ANYWAY! On the downside, I don't get watermelon, or garden fresh tomatoes and cucumbers (why does so much of my life revolve around food?!) Anyway, we seem to be sick all the time. I know that's not true, but it feels true. I am ready for warm summer days. Today made me more ready for that as I was watching my kids playing outside on the trampoline. I love that. There is nothing better than the happy sounds of children. <br />
<br />
So I posted a few things on my site. The painted Lily kit I posted an image of last time, and then I also added a new paper pack and updated some other products to add more quantity and quality to them. <br />
<br />
Now, I'm expanding my site! I added some of the hand made <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/products.php?cat=18">soap my mom makes</a>. The price seems high, but the bars are large. They are 1 lb 6 oz bars of soap and are made from high quality, all natural ingredients!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/prodimages/bar5b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/prodimages/bar5b.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So go check those out. <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/products.php?cat=20"> I also added some invitations</a> that I've designed. I've been able to get people super good prices for their invites. I'm trying to figure out how to put these in the store, so I started with just the deposit, the remainder will be due upon completion, since I expect some customization to the invites. </div>

I know right. The last 2 years of my life I have been trying to get back into the swing of things, but now it's really happening. I have started designing again, and have been doing it consistently. This is the first time since my little boy was born. As we know life is busy.<br />
<br />
You never know the real meaning of busy until you're a mom. Oh wait, try adding homeschool, then the real battle of finding time to create just seems insurmountable. The crazy thing is, it's been a while sine I've had a desire to design, but I'm really enjoying it again. So that's awesome news!!!<br />
<br />
In addition to all this I've joined a new store! <a href="http://www.onestorydown.com/">www.onestorydown.com</a>. It's really laid back and easy, and good! So go check it out and see all the great stuff that is offered there!! Good thing since <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/products.php?cat=13">my site</a> isn't letting me log in at the moment!<br />
<br />
Here is what is new tomorrow!!! I had a lot of fun making this so hopefully you enjoy!!<br />

It is a fantastic old all metal sewing from probably about the 1970s. I had never sewn anything before and was terrified, but since I had been wanting to learn I set out on a mission! </div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't know how to thread it, fill the bobbin or anything else, so I had to keep asking my husband to come help me (his mother is an avid quilter and he knows how to operate a sewing machine. Yes I do feel a little sheepish about this now that I have learned how easy it is!) </div><div><br /></div><div>So I went to my mom and she handed me some fabric she purchased to make a baby quilt and basically said, here, make it. So I did!! It was a simple snowball pattern and is shown here below under this adorable little baby!!</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02H-KoW2pCd8HDqhLgE5bJhKMk2XLf_VAOabQEWfxvqcwgnMrv1KeuSjA4Am8v37SO2mAhEcqKPOyuaAOYGXnTacuHO8cdvrbMHC2JvddABHUDA2O5jfLTuVJ2ibUjgCBCco4C94Y4m3t/s1600/263103_139403766140042_108924722521280_289829_4423118_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02H-KoW2pCd8HDqhLgE5bJhKMk2XLf_VAOabQEWfxvqcwgnMrv1KeuSjA4Am8v37SO2mAhEcqKPOyuaAOYGXnTacuHO8cdvrbMHC2JvddABHUDA2O5jfLTuVJ2ibUjgCBCco4C94Y4m3t/s320/263103_139403766140042_108924722521280_289829_4423118_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718142684581420802" /></a><div>That sparked a fire!! After that I made a quilt for my little guy (I haven't photographed it yet) Then started to design my own patterns and made a quilt for my mom for Christmas (also not yet photographed). Then I wanted to branch out!! So I made a stuffed lion (not photographed yet either...goodness I need to take a lot of pictures!!!) and a tote bag for my sister. Last week I made these skirts for my little girls. I got the idea <a href="http://7layerstudio.typepad.com/7_layer_studio/2008/10/twirly-skirt-tutorial---at-last.html">here</a>. Super easy and my little 2 yr old wears hers every day and sometimes to bed!!</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXfrM-hLJjdrGrqVBPROG2EPeajBMchMYBsw3y0unnOfQVbir4M8Sa_nvQzFcGGK5yyaOgn6Dq-AFGF9MvN-7ta6JxCfkNOKnZ8UVLyAUzYyjILLYcgz9ErAauyNzarhwCBkKz3ExVPKig/s1600/IMGP3193.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXfrM-hLJjdrGrqVBPROG2EPeajBMchMYBsw3y0unnOfQVbir4M8Sa_nvQzFcGGK5yyaOgn6Dq-AFGF9MvN-7ta6JxCfkNOKnZ8UVLyAUzYyjILLYcgz9ErAauyNzarhwCBkKz3ExVPKig/s320/IMGP3193.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718141739035818562" /></a>Then I made this little owl for a friend of mine who was having her first little girl.

We are all pretty clumsy. At least one of us trips, falls, or runs into something daily. </div><div>Well tonight, after all the kids were in bed, I was walking into my bedroom and saw that the broom had fallen over and was looking like a prime tripping spot. You would think that the next thing I would do would be to go and pick it up. But I didn't. I thought to myself, "hmmmm I bet Kenny (my sweet husband) trips over that." Then I came and got on my computer. </div><div>Not 5 minutes later, I hear him grunt in there and then he calls for me to come and see what he tripped over. No need! So I just shout to him, "Did you trip over the broom?" Then, all shocked, he thinks that I put it there on purpose! Come on. I would never do that (well maybe not never). Funny though!

I had my third baby in September and am finding it to be at least 3 times harder to lose my baby weight than with the first. Frustrating because I have been trying really hard to eat well and to exercise right, and still...nope. I still have about 20 lbs to lose. <div><br /></div><div>Then I got really excited and thought I would try subdividing my goal into smaller goals that were more attainable. So I would say I needed to lose 2 lbs by a certain date. Mentally that worked beautifully!! I was eating even better and staying on top of my goal, and was really proud of myself until I stepped on the scale. You guessed it. My hard work equalled a 2 lb weight GAIN. So I celebrated with a trip to my baking cupboard for about a pound of milk chocolate chips. Phew that felt better. I started beating myself up mentally and telling myself that it wasn't worth it. That it didn't matter how much I tried I would fail.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then today after I went to the gym (because going to the gym is sanity for me and I'll never stop doing that) I weighed myself and was down 3 pounds!! Small victory, but lesson teaching. I am generally a stress case. I worry a lot about how I'm doing in different areas of my life and am consistently evaluating how I should be better. </div><div><br /></div><div>I like to see pretty quick results on things. When I don't I usually don't get discouraged, unless it's more than one thing. Like right now. I have 3 things going on right now. None of which I feel particularly satisfied with, on results anyway. SO I've been feeling a little discouraged. Then I found the quote I posted above. Then I think about the countless blessings I have been given and I know there is no reason to be discouraged. I need to celebrate my small victories and keep working and pushing for more. At least I am trying.</div>Jesse Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353327003567484139noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454759845651185720.post-26623514984001702382012-02-06T21:46:00.000-08:002012-02-06T22:22:47.262-08:00Time for a new freebie<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclpqIESwHr-HXhsoF-OOMmMrhYea_iPGGByn6QfPtbeg59tejZK74A1cvDbgrzHqtVxU_TDcL0HqESHfHGPvK8Lee4BRvkBdvtNIAckul2pa0fdLMQS5FhlGimmhwa5u7wDSOQ37S4kx9/s320/JEdwards_RealQuick2PREV.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706266262593072226" />I thought I would do <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=FR4">another quick page</a>. This one was going to be a valentine's day page, but ended up being an "I love my baby and he is the cutest thing on the planet" page instead. I think it could cross over between the two. But come on, who can deny that my little boy isn't the cutest! I mean, I'm not biased at all!!<div><br /></div><div>I hope some of you can get some use out of it though!! All you have to do is add your own picture and type in some little lines of journaling, and presto! </div><div><br /></div><div>I also recently added a bunch of <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/products.php?cat=13">Valentine's Day</a> products to the store. I added some <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=EL15&cat=13">printable drink labels</a>. They are designed to fit on a glass bottle, but if you would like them to fit on soda bottle then post a comment to let me know, and I'll resize them for that! <br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJk4Hw8eBKy4sjahOAOGEgs43zAM6KP3b7NCcTyRG3UKdF409BEBywqEvo4At2DBez5qh5uSX6cpmmeiayCL5A5t8-b-oucX5QERgJzidqe8WJb-K5FZhakUKsj0JjT0-gz26KFOjEQvJ/s320/JEdwards_DrinkLabelsValPREV.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706266780892557058" /></div>Jesse Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353327003567484139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454759845651185720.post-19092640800950012282012-01-19T20:03:00.000-08:002012-01-19T20:16:14.087-08:00New Year, New Start<div>What I'm hoping for the new year...is a lot!!</div><div><br /></div>This last year has been full of a lot of roller coasters. A major car accident, a move, a new baby, and more. I haven't been working consistently since July, and honestly didn't really miss it. Until recently. I've started to feel that creative bug and desire to create again, and it feels good. <div><br /></div><div>But I haven't known which direction to take my creating. I have found a great new love for quilting. It is amazing how therapeutic it can be to do something with your hands and being able to create something that will be loved and snuggled. Since about June I have spent a lot of my free time doing that. It was great to take a break and explore different ways of being creative and artistic. That has equated a long break in any real designing for scrapbooking. </div><div><br /></div><div>We will see where the new year takes me...I have a few ideas in mind. Now to make them realities!!!</div>Jesse Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353327003567484139noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454759845651185720.post-20563133196990363962011-12-05T21:26:00.000-08:002011-12-05T21:38:05.066-08:00Christmas in the Air<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ3M_D1qCx_fnyBIuBZGm4JUtHD6tGvfKEvWO0_Ww1Aqk_NuNeNiIGopgVzKeOIkLsjkCT_jU3FCDc4T2AJYNUeLCI__WGUMOHUn2cPETfpRJiJZ9EDOZzQUDb2HcH4e-wuVSPSuGSCkUH/s1600/JEdwards_JingleJanglePREV.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ3M_D1qCx_fnyBIuBZGm4JUtHD6tGvfKEvWO0_Ww1Aqk_NuNeNiIGopgVzKeOIkLsjkCT_jU3FCDc4T2AJYNUeLCI__WGUMOHUn2cPETfpRJiJZ9EDOZzQUDb2HcH4e-wuVSPSuGSCkUH/s320/JEdwards_JingleJanglePREV.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682885419283706274" /></a>Last night I was blessed to hear my daughter lying in her bed singing Jingle Bells well after her bedtime.

I can't believe how much busier my life has been with the presence of a 12 lb. 5 week old baby. I find it extremely hard to believe that I ever found one child to be difficult. Silly naive me! Three kids, with none of them in school is quite a busy life. I'm trying to find the time to squeeze everything in. It's coming along, but not quite there yet!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I also realize that I never mentioned what we ended up naming the baby! We named him Liam Clarke. We both liked it and FINALLY found something we could agree on!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So I loaded some Halloween products into the store. Some Printable drink labels and gift tags for halloween parties and party favors and some papers of course.

<br />I posted a freebie on my <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=FR2">website: </a> It's a bit different for my usual style since the papers have a vignette, but hopefully it will get some use out of it. <div>
<br /></div><div>It's been a long week. The days seem like years at this point, even though I know that I probably have about 2 weeks left. A good friend of mine just had her baby early and her precious little girl is in the NICU. I don't know if I could bear that, so I'm thanking God that I haven't yet had to do that.

I'll still be preggers for 3-5 weeks more! That's ok though. I feel pretty good considering the 100 degree temperatures here in Boise! Little guy still doesn't have a name, but soon! My 4 year old daughter is hoping for George Michael (not the singer songwriter) and she calls him Georgie. It's pretty cute. She's also still wants Carzmo, which is the name of one of her imaginary friends. Don't ask me where it came from, I have NO idea. <div>
<br /></div><div>We have a list of names, but nothing final. A little story, my maiden name is Clarke, and I come from a family of 5 girls. So I thought it would be fun to name him Clarke, but my husband will only do it without the 'e' on the end. So here is the list. Would love to hear opinions!!</div><div>

My husband is in the application process for graduate school right now, so we decided to go ahead and try and sell our house so that when the time came to move we wouldn't be tied to it. We sold it in a total of 2, yes 2, days! So now, in between being about 33 weeks pregnant, packing, finding a place to live, having to be out of our house by the end of the month, and then normal day to day stuff, I've been feeling a little overwhelmed, exhausted, etc. <div><br /></div><div>Then to top it off, Wednesday I was headed to a friends house to </div><div>pick up some stuff when I got rear-ended in what ended up being a 4 car pile up on the busiest road in Boise. I was the first car to get hit, then got pushed into a giant car in front of me, which hit the mini van in front of them. My car suffered the most damage and could very likely be totalled (luckily the kiddos were not with me). So not only was I standing on the side of the road on the hottest day we've had all year, but facing some quality time in the doctor's offices to insure that the baby and I are ok. The baby is ok, I have only had some bruising on my chest, and neck and upper back pain (which I'll be seeing a great chiropractor for). </div><div><br /></div><div>So yeah, it's been a big week. But I thought I would post a freebie. I have had some people tell me that they don't know how to use patterned paper in a digital scrapbooking layout. So I thought I would put up a quick page for people to see how I use patterned papers. <a href="http://www.thegreenpineapple.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=FR1">It's available for free here on my website</a></div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRwzC-IDf3rCIow25G9_rnheE745L0CclfA41jaKSx-Xeui-PhXRjt5xYWoAFlhTuxYCfGD8EBfNhGrHw_LLjLH_zuETFKEPmXQz4OJUsYqqtk-pGzhFgtY4iB1Db_HAIxjkyv_Wqmpzi8/s320/JEdwards_RealQuick1PREV.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627459858104756914" /><div><br /></div>Jesse Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353327003567484139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454759845651185720.post-91698254260562022842011-07-02T23:05:00.001-07:002011-07-02T23:09:47.464-07:00And it's up!!<div style="text-align: left;">Ok, I think things are finally working right.

In fact I will probably swim this triathlon with the side stroke and might throw in some doggie paddle just for kicks! Whatever gets it done right? I run. I can run for hours and it is glorious to me! I've just never been a superb swimmer, and that's ok. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Well tonight I went swimming with a friend of mine, who is doing this triathlon with me. She has been waiting for this for a couple weeks now. She's a swimmer not a runner, so she has been waiting to get in her arena and out of mine! Well it worked! She kicked my trash, and hopefully can help me become a stronger swimmer in the coming months!! </div><div><br /></div><div> Wish me luck!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>And here is what is releasing this week at <a href="http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Jesse+Edwards&x=0&y=0">designerdigitals</a>!</div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block;
