"Mark's" blog (Which really means my blog)

This is my new blog for Mark. Since it will involve more than just the Martineau/Craig clan I decided to make it seperate from this one. If you didn't get an email to join the blog here is the link:
http://markschpadventure.blogspot.com/
I have it set to public right now, but once everyone has joined it I am going to make it private.
My plan is that if you have any questions about how he is doing, what he is doing, what Mark is liking and not liking, that I can share there. If you have questions or words of encouragement they can be put there and he can get to it on his liberty time. If he can't answer back, then I will do it for him.
Thanks everyone for all your support.
By the way, I am feeling much better. I think I am still a little sick, but I am going back to work tomorrow so I am ok now. Thanks for putting up with me on Sunday. I know I was super grumpy...

Newest sling for my cousin

So this is the best one I have made so far. I figured out a simpler way to sew the rings on. And it turned out so cute I had to share!

Louise this is how I spent my Christmas money!

This is a before and after shot of my pantry. I was so excited for the shelving unit to come! Also my 6 cup rice cooker, and the crock pot. I decided on a full size crock pot because there was no price difference and it was so pretty!
Thanks Louise :)

For Marie

The Larksfoot stitch. I'll post a pic of my work on it soon :)

Wake boarding

Hey family, went wakeboarding today and I thought I'd share my experience to you over blog form.  I started last week and learned how to get up and today I learned how to jump some. I landed a couple times it was so awesome. Me and EssiJane are gonna go golfing on Saturday. And I can't wait for halo to start again

Chicken pocket recipe

Two crescent roll tins
1 package cream cheese
1 can cooked chicken (I use costco brand)
Salt
Italian bread crumbs (optional, but very tasty)

Set oven to 350•
Mix chicken, cream cheese and salt in a bowl. Lay out the crescent rolls flat and put a spoonful of the chicken mixture on each roll. Fold and pinch the edges so that the mixture is no longer exposed. Roll the top in the bread crumbs. Put on cookie sheet and cook until golden brown.

We bought furniture together, it's getting pretty serious

We went to a "Going Out of Business" sale and got a couch and love seat set with "baseball" stitching. We love the red color. Now everyone can visit and have a place to sit! You can even recline in all the edge seats!
