Chub Chub makes a pirate baldric...

A baldric (also baldrick, bawdrick, bauldrick as well as some other, mostly rare or obsolete, variations) is a belt worn over one shoulder that is typically used to carry a weapon (usually a sword) or other implement such as a bugle or drum. The word may also refer to any belt in general, but this usage is poetic and not considered standard.

Baldrics have been used since ancient times, usually as part of military dress. The design offers more support for weight than a standard waist belt, without restricting movement of the arms, and allowing easy access to the object carried. For example, the late 18th-century British Army's distinctive "lobsterback" uniform pattern featured a pair of white baldrics crossed at the chest, with a soldier's bayonet sheath suspended from one and his canteen suspended from the other. Alternatively, and especially in modern times, the baldric may fill a ceremonial role rather than a practical one.

 Chub Chub made the baldric out of buffalo leather and a matching possibles bag.

 The Rings attached to the baldric help the sword move with him and makes the sword easier to carry.

Buffalo leather is real soft and thick. The bag is very sturdy.

Apple crisps in an apple!

Last night for our St. Patrick's desert Chub Chub created a apple crisp in an apple. He took granny smiths and hallowed them out. In a bowel he cut up the apples and added some brown sugar and sugar and placed them back in the apple. We used the apple crisp from a box which asked for butter. After we did as the box asked he put the apple crisp mixture on the apples. He backed them for 30 minutes on 375. Pulled them out and let them sit for a little bit and serve. They were supper tasty.

Arts and crafts Tuesday!

As we were grabbing up some herbs we were trying to figure out what to do with it. They had small mason jars full of herbs, and we thought it was pretty niffty. But we could do better.

We used metal clamps and screwed them into the shed wall. We used pots so we can remove them if we have to in case the weather gets real bad.

Chamomile, sweet basil, garlic chives and cilantro so far. We do plan on adding some more on the wall. 

Our garden adventure!

Since it warmed off we have been doing a lot of work outside the house. Cleaning up overran flower beds and chopping weeds down. Stinging needle sucks btw. So in the backyard we have we finally got the garden going. Peppers, squash, onions, green beans, cucumbers, and some other stuff. 

Her is Chub Chub adding more miracle grow on the peppers. 

Chub Chub's new project.

Chub Chub got some buffalo leather and is now working on a baldric for his pirate outfit. He is looking for a buckle now to finish it up after he finishes it all up more pictures to come.

We are now a Great Uncle & Great Aunt

We had plans to go to the beach today but our niece's water broke yesterday. So we sat around nervously waiting to hear about her. Finally we went and had dinner and since we were by the hospital we decided to go check out what was happening. And after talking to the nurse behind the desk we were told that she was pushing the baby was in his way. A few hours later and around 7:06 Logan Nicholas Hendrick was born at 9 pounds 2 ounces and 20 in a half inches long. He is very handsome and perfect. We are so proud of our Niece Amanda she was in labor for over 24 hours.
