I Am Easily Amused

Very easily amused, it would seem. Need proof? Okay.

You know that little voice to text feature that's on most phones now? I decided that it would be fun to sing into it and see what happened. Lucky for me I have a friend who is used to such nonsensical stuff from me, so she was ~~my victim~~ on the receiving end of the texts.

Here's what went down.

Actual song lyrics are in "" followed by the phone's interpretation.

"Tonight we are young.." = hello we'll on yellow

"Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck..." = so not to stay up cash in on my facebook

"And I was like baby, baby, baby, noo!" = then others on babe babe babe babe in no hello

"We're Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.." = which 1000 pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

At this point I realized the phone was apparently learning, and I immediately called off any further experiments. Because the last thing I need is for my smart phone to become even smarter and try to take over the world, or something.

As Seen on Pinterest - The Retirement Survival Kit

One of my co-workers recently retired. I'm happy for her, because she really deserves it and everything...but I hate that she's leaving me! I tried to bribe her into staying. I even threatened to lock her in the office and refuse to let her go. Oddly, she didn't like that suggestion. Since she was set on this notion of retirement, I immediately began scouring Pinterest for some sort of cute retirement gift for her. I knew I'd find something there, and I was not disappointed! Fairly soon after beginning my search, I came across the 'Retirement Survival Kit'. (Photo from Pinterest - original pin link ) The pin was a link to an eBay auction, but of course my first thought on seeing it was "I can do that!". So I did. I really should have taken a better photo of it. But this is all I managed to get. So, uh, ta da! I changed a few of the items around (the original link was from the UK, so some of the items weren't available)

Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern

(Check out this handy dandy Pinterest ready graphic I made!) In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, one of the dwarves (Bofur) wore this really, really awesome hat. I fell in love with it, and decided to see if I could crochet my own version of it. Well, first I scoured the internet, hoping for a pattern, and when I didn't find one THEN I decided to make my own. And since I know there are others out there who would love to have this pattern, I'm posting it here! PLEASE NOTE: You may make items and sell them using this pattern, but PLEASE link back to the pattern and credit me as the source. It's only fair! :) The Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern You will need: Red Heart Super Saver (I forgot the actual color name, but it’s brown, okay?)

As Seen on Pinterest: Pillar of Cloud and Fire Craft

Woo hoo! It's time for another As Seen on Pinterest post! This time, it was a cute little kids' craft to go along with the story of Moses and the Children of Israel being led through the wilderness by the pillar of cloud by day, and fire by night. It fit nicely into one of our Sunday School lessons this quarter, so we decided to give it a whirl! Here's the original pin: You'll need toilet paper tubes, construction paper, tissue paper (white and orange), scissors and tape. It's a pretty straightforward craft, really. Cut the construction paper to cover the tube and tape it down. Then cut a generous square of the tissue paper (one in each color) and use some tape to stick it to the insides of the tube. That part is a bit tricky, but with some finagling, it can be done! And that's it! Isn't it cute? The kiddos loved them too. It was so great hearing them telling others what it was and what it signified. Unt
