Heat Wave!

TEXAS HEAT!!!!
Wow, so on the news this morning I saw the temp was going to get up to 101 degres today and a chance to get to 103 deg tomorrow. GESHHHHHHH! But that is Texas for you.

So I went online to check out some new popcycle recipe ideas. I don't have all the ingredients for this one...but boy does it look yummy....


Check out the Blog for the details and the recipe below! If you try it let me know how it tastes...as soon as I can get a chance to have a moment away from my Dear Daughter (when my Hubby comes home from work) I might go to the store and get the stuff to make this...it remindes me of the coconut pops I used to get in the summer whenever my sister and I would walk down to the local gas station about 3 blocks away....yummmm!

I'm sure as I type this Betsy will be getting up from her long nap this afternoon, so no chance of me catching any shut eye, since I spent the whole nap time sewing away at a practice outfit for Betsy's Leggend of Korra outfit for the Anime Con we are going to next month... I took lots of pics so I'll post them in the next blog.

Till then...Enjoy!

Anime Convention-Costumes

Leggend of Korra and her Polar Dog

It's no secret that my wonderful Geek husband is an Anime Nerd. He recently has gotten into Yu-Gi-Ho (I think that's how you spell it) Cards again with the recent opeing of a Game shop here in town. He went there last Saturday for almost 3 hours and had a blast. I don't mind the gaming or the Anime, I actually have gotten into a few of them myself...mainly Black Buttler which I LOVE!

A-Kon 22 Betsy as Link

We went last summer to A-Kon in Dallas and had a blast. One of the projects that I had for the con was to make Betsy a Link (from Leggend of Zelda) costume.
It was so cute!!! And since she had been into playing the recorder for a while...it fit well.

So we are not able to go all the way up to Dallas this year...but there is a local con coming to McAllen in July called OMNICON, so we are planning a head for Betsy's costume. She and Peter love Leggend of Korra (the second of "The last air-bender"...I just realized they were both "leggend of..."...lol) ANYWAYS...I'm working on a Korra outfit for Betsy this year and have already got the fabric...I'm hoping that it all works out because I think she would look really cute dressed up as a fire/water bender!

As soon as I get picture made I'll post them....first things first is getting my new swing table and craft area set up so I can start sewing.
