A friend re-blogged this and I just wanted to share!

Liz's avatarElizabeth Anne

Hey guys!

Lately I’ve been kind of obsessed with scrunchies. To be honest, it kinda started because of the the new VSCO thing going around, but they truly do look AMAZING!! Because of my sudden love for scrunchies, I decided to start making them! Making scrunchies has been so fun and I can’t wait to share the process with all of you!

So, let’s get into it!

The first thing I did to make the scrunchies was gather all the materials. You will need: fabric, sisscors, a ruler, and a hair tie.

After gathering the materials, I cut two 8×45 cm pieces of fabric. Then, I sewed them together make sure I get a more “scrunched” kind of scrunchie! 😛

After sewing the 2 pieces together, I grabbed the hair-tie, put it through the fabric, and started to sew. Make sure you sew on what will be the inside of…

How many horses does it take to change a lightbulb


Thoroughbred: I changed it an hour ago. C’mon you
guys – catch up!
Arabian: Who ME?? Do WHAT? I’m scared of light
bulbs! I’m outta here!
Quarter Horse: Put all the bulbs in a pen and
tell me which one you want.
Standardbred: Oh just give me the
bulb and let’s be done with it.
Shetland: Give it to me. I’ll kill it and we
won’t have to worry about it anymore.
Friesian: I would, but I can’t see where I’m
going from behind all this mane.
Palomino: Put the Shetland on my back, maybe he can
reach it then.
Warmblood: Is the 2nd Level Instruction Packet in English?
Doesn’t anyone realize that I was sold for
$75K as a yearling, but only because my hocks are
bad, otherwise I would be worth $100K? I am NOT
changing light bulbs. Make the TB get back here and do it.
Morgan: Me! Me! Me! Pleeease let me! I wanna do
it! I’m gonna do it! I know how, really I do! Just watch! I’ll rewire the
barn after, too.
Appaloosa: Ya’ll are a bunch of losers. We don’t
need to change the light bulb; I ain’t scared of the dark. And someone make that Morgan stop jumping up and down before I double barrel him.
Haflinger: That thing I ate was a light bulb?
Mustang: Light bulb? Let’s go on a trail ride,
instead. And camp. Out in the open like REAL horses.
Lipizzaner: Hah, amateurs. I will change the light
bulb. Not only that, but I will do it while standing on my hind legs and balancing it on my nose, after which I will perform seven flying lead changes in a row and a capriole. Can you do that? Huh? Huh? Didn’t think so.
Miniature: I bet you think I can’t do it just
cause I’m small. You know what that is? It’s sizeism!
Chincoteage Ponie: I will only change it if it’s my
owner’s light bulb and no one else has ever touched it.
Andalusian: I will delegate the changing of the
light bulb to my personal groom after he finishes shampooing my mane and cleaning my saddle, but only on the condition that it is changed for a soft blue or pink bulb, which reflects better off my coat while I exhibit my astonishing gaits.
Saddlebred: My ears are up already, please, please
get the light bulb away from me! I’m ready to show, really, I
promise I’ll win!
Paint: Put all the light bulbs in a pen, tell me
which one you want, and my owner will bet you twenty bucks I can get it before the quarter horse.
POA: I’m not changing it. I’m the one who kicked
the old one and broke it in the first place, remember?
Now, excuse me, I have a grain room to break into.
Grade Horse: Guys? Um, guys? I hope you don’t
mind, but I went ahead and changed it while you were all arguing.

Krispy Kream


Usually I don’t like doughnuts. They make me nauseous.

So, most of the time, I would get a strawberry milk or a muffin instead.

A couple days ago, my dad took me and my siblings to a doughnut shop.

It was called, Krispy Kream. It tasted EXACTLY like a fried dessert that I sometimes make.

(I’ll give you the recipe later.)

“The veil of glory”

My dad’s name for the DOUGHNUT glazer.

The veil of glory is part of a giant conveyer belt that drips glaze. Here is a photo:

Antique show


Today we went to an antique show in Round Top, Texas. It was awesome.

There was everything you could ever imagine. I wanted to get a typewriter, but I didn’t have enough money. I did have enough money for a metal flamingo, but my dad didn’t want me to buy it. It was so cute. It was way better than any antique shop. It took up a whole city! I love looking at little useless objects. It was amazing! Ethan got a fountain with two crows on it that the water comes out of their beaks! It is so funny. It looks like its throwing-up constantly.

Crow fountain

Isabel got the cutest little snowglobe.

Everything there was recycled, remade, or redecorated. We saw a funny chicken that was made out of a tire!

And that’s the small show. Next week there is a BIG show, but we aren’t going.

Remember the Alamo!


If you don’t live in Texas, Mexico, or  Tennessee skip this post. 

Alamo.jpg

This is the Alamo, a fortress in southern Texas.  In case you don’t know the story,  here’s the lyrics to an Alamo Ballad by Marty Robbins:

 In the southern part of Texas
In the town of San Antone
There’s a fortress all in ruins that the weeds have overgrown
You may look in vain for crosses and you’ll never see a-one
But sometimes between the setting and the rising of the sun
You can hear a ghostly bugle
As the men go marching by
You can hear them as they answer
To that roll call in the sky.

Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett, and a hundred eighty more
Captain Dickinson, Jim Bowie
Present and accounted for.

Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis
“Get some volunteers and go
Fortify the Alamo.”
Well the men came from Texas
And from old Tennessee
And they joined up with Travis
Just to fight for the right to be free.

Indian scouts with squirrel guns
Men with muzzle-loaders
Stood together, heel and toe
To defend the Alamo.

“You may ne’er see your loved ones,”
Travis told them that day
“Those who want to can leave now
Those who fight to the death let ’em stay.”

In the sand he drew a line
With his army sabre
Out of a hundred eighty five
Not a soldier crossed the line
With his banners a-dancin’
In the dawn’s golden light
Santa Anna came prancing
On a horse that was black as the night.

Sent an officer to tell
Travis to surrender
Travis answered with a shell
And a rousing rebel yell
Santa Anna turned scarlet
“Play deguello!” he roared
“I will show them no quarter
Every one will be put to the sword!”

One hundred and eighty five
Holding back five thousand
Five days, six days, eight days, ten
Travis held and held again
Then he sent for replacements
For his wounded and lame
But the troops that were coming
Never came, never came, never came…

Twice he charged and blew recall
On the fatal third time
Santa Anna breached the wall
And he killed ’em, one and all
Now the bugles are silent
And there’s rust on each sword
And the small band of soldiers…

Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord…

In the southern part of Texas
Near the town of San Antone
Like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone
And he sees the cattle grazing where a century before
Santa Anna’s guns were blazing and the cannons used to roar
And his eyes turn sorta misty
And his heart begins to glow
And he takes his hat off slowly…

To the men of Alamo.

To the thirteen days of glory
At the siege of Alamo…
