Who’s your Daddy??

It’s that time again, when we honor the people we call Dad…whether it’s your own father, or maybe your baby’s daddy, but someone you know is a Rolling Stones fan.

Well, Mick and the boys have been doing this rock & roll thing for quite a while now, and they are getting ready to roll out their most exclusive tour video dvd ever! Available only at Best Buy,  This boxed set inlcludes over 55 songs, 4 hours of concert footage, and even their performance at the 2006 Super bowl…

“So Domestic Chicky”, you might be saying-”what the blankety-blank does this have to do with me?? Are you doing another one of these blasted reviews where you get to talk about all the cool crap people send you?” And to that I would reply NO-this one is all about YOU!!!

I have in my posession, the exclusive and elusive “The Biggest Bang” 4 DVD Boxed set-and I will be giving it away to one lucky person on Friday. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post by Thursday night at midnight PST, and I will draw the winner’s name Friday morning.

Monday Morning Musings

Didja ever notice the weekends you have too much to do last for-evah, and the weekends you can just loll around vaporize in a split second? Yeah, me too…

Much was accomplished at the Casa de Chicky this weekend. The carpets were shampooed (Hubby shampooed, I distracted 2 boys who wanted to play in the freshly, (now) light beige dampness), banners were made (did you SEE the deliciousness up there?), much laundry was done (sheets, some old stored crochet afghans-pics to come), sewing machines didn’t make it to their intended destination (fricken fracken UPS), and St Louis debating took place-more to come on that as well…

So this weekend is a big one here…my youngest will be 2 a week from today, and we are having a family bbq to celebrate. I always drive myself nuts trying to figure out what to make. The cake is a no-brainer…yellow cake, chocolate frosting. This year should be extra fun, since anything remotely resembling cream immediately goes into his hair, as evidenced by the diaper cream hairdo he gave himself this weekend, which left him looking like Jonathan Lipnicki…but I want to make another cake, something really yummy, since we will also be celebrating my in-laws birthdays as well. Foofy cupcakes? A decadent cheesecake? Pie?? Help!!

Is anyone else watching “The Sopranos”? Gah!!!!!

Is anyone else awaiting the premiere of “Big Love”? How about “Big Brother” ?

To those who have emailed me (or want to!) about doing banners…YES! Email me an idea of what you want, and I will send you an estimate. Thanks so much for all your kind words.

Ok, chickies (and the couple of roosters who visit), I am off to do my Monday stuff…See you tomorrow!

PS-today is Day one of Apronpalooza over here! Go check out Nan’s blog, and see some of the oh-so lovely aprons you could win! There are new ones every day-maybe even one by yours truly?!? Go on, I’ll wait here!

I know knitting is what all of the cool kids are doing these days. But I don’t knit. I crochet. And you already know about my love of vintage aprons. So when I saw Kristy’s crocheted aprons hanging in her pantry ever so perfectly, I knew I had to add vintage crochet aprons to my “things to find while junking” list.

Well, that was several months ago. But last weekend while on a junking expedition with my mother to the Cattle Barns Flea Market in Ft. Worth, Texas, I finally found what I had been looking for (along with a few other vintage pinnies). It is perfect in every way and I love that it ties two of my great domestic loves together…crochet and aprons.

If you would like to make your own crocheted apron, visit our patterns and tutorials links on the sidebar. And if you know of another crochet apron pattern that we should list, please email us with the link.
