Pattern for Crocodile slippers

Crocodile Slippers!!

alright so i worked pretty hard on these slippers and in this pic theres 2 different ones (i know) I had asked on my facebook page which one looked better.... but after a long night and day (of very little sleep) this is what I came up with. My sister was looking at the crocodile stitch for baby botties and I tried but i didnt really like what it looked like so I tried this in my size, and I actually like it. I tried to ask my boyfriend which one he liked more and he said they were goofy.... I LIKE THEM ANYWAYS! 

I am posting the pattern i made *just a reminder* I was really tired when I wrote the pattern and also this is the first time that i EVER wrote a pattern like this!!

tonight's dinner Goulash (with recipe)

I found this recipe all the ( ) is what I did instead
Goulash~
* Brown 1- 1 1/2 lbs of Hamburger (I used 2lbs), season with garlic salt, pepper, a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 onion finely chopped (or some onion powder).
* Boil water and cook your noodles (about 3 cups after there cooked)
* when done add rotel tomatoes with green chili's (or Rotel tomatoes chili ready) and a can of corn (I did not use this) to the noodles and ground beef. continue cooking to heat through, put in a 9 x 13 dish (or casserole dish) and sprinkle with sharp cheddar cheese.
* Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or untill cheese is a nice golden brown
   After done you can put sour cream on top with salsa


My kids really liked this they said "this homemade goulash is awesome" so I guess it was a hit for them, but then Mike wasn't a big fan of it (he dose not like chunks of tomatoes and I don't care for them to much either). I thought this was a nice twist on the "regular" goulash; I get tired of the plain-ness of it. So in this recipe I used the tomato's that where chili ready, i think it gives it a bit of a kick :) but I also didn't like the idea of the corn in it *yuck* maybe some chili beans or kidney beans?!?!
Like I said I thought it was pretty good, Let me know how it turned out or what you did different .... Enjoy

My 3hr slouchy beanie!

I needed a blue hat to go with this scarf that I made ages ago, so I found this slouchy beanie pattern and it was SO EASY! It took me about 3 hours to do, so simple a beginner could do it! 

This link below is the link where I found this hat pattern I made a few adjustments so it would fit my head better.

I repeated this row below twice:

"Ch 1. *work 1 dc in each of the next 8 stitches. DC2tog  the next 2 stitches* repeat from * to * join with a sl st to the first dc. " 

I worked four rows of the following

 " Ch 1. work 1 sc in each stitch around. "

Are you a couponer? Check this shopping list out!

All right so having a family of 6 and only one income I started couponing to save as much money as possible. Dont get me wrong im not an "extreme couponer" but I have learned how to save quite a bit. With a family of 6 we would spend about 700 to 800 on grocery's a month and well I think I have got our bill down to about 500 to 600 a month and that is getting just about all name brand.
Anyways, I have been looking all over the internet for a shopping list that I can also use for my coupons too. Well needless to say I couldn't find one that I really liked so I came up with my own. I used it this weekend when I went shopping (while having 4 kids with me ages 3 to 8, I was quite nervous) actually it worked pretty good. I printed it on front and back since I had to shop at 2 different stores and had 3 different transactions.
So I thought I would post this so if you could use it then you can print mine off. So ENJOY!
