Sunflower Sundress

I bought this fabric at Jo-Ann's (already smocked), and made it into a dress with straps for Morgan. It didn't take too long and it was fun.

The Black, uh...The Brown, um...The Shower Hole

Here it is, the lovely spot where my tub and shower should be.

Farm Fun

Here's some pictures from our Brownie field trip at the farm last Tuesday. I missed a couple days last week so here's a bunch ;)

The Peace Abbey, Time Lapse

It's getting greener ;)

First photo

Alley Again

My little one, sitting next to my chair at the computer, last Sunday ;)

Stipple Cards

For an ACP challenge. They came out "okay," but I needed a softer brush, I think.

Recital

Morgan's fourth recital. On the way there, she was very quiet, I asked her if she was nervous and she said, "No, I'm not nervous, this is my fourth recital. I just want to listen to the music." She did great. I wasn't able to get many (only one), good picture on stage, no flash photography allowed, but here is one after the show was over. She was exhausted! It was after 9:00.

Playing in the Sprinkler!

Yes, it is hot enough today to break out the sprinkler. I hope it cools off when the sun goes down, I’m not a good sleeper in the heat.

May flowers

And, I missed Wednesday, too…To make up for missing so many days, here are a bunch of pictures taken today…


My phlox, in bloom.


Up close and personal with the phlox.


My bleeding heart, this will get at least 3 times this big by the end of spring.


Extreme close up!


A violet (stupid weeds).




Lilacs!

Dance, Ballerina, Dance

Yeah, and so I missed Saturday, Sunday and Monday too…This is from Tuesday. Morgan’s Dress Rehearsal for her recital, which is this Friday.

Here's a close up. All the others I took focused behind her, sigh...Not my best photo day.

Goin' to the Chapel

So I missed Wednesday and Thursday. This is from Friday. It’s a bit dark, but it’s from the rehearsal at the Chapel. My brother-in-law, Bob walking Betsy down the aisle. Erica, my niece, made her bow bouquet from presents Betsy got at her shower.

Just an ordinary day

This is my ordinary Thursday ;)

Rite of Passage

My baby no longer needs her big carseats. She's now just in a booster. Here are the two carseats waiting to be taken away in the trash :(

I know, I'm way behind...

I have a couple of photos to post that were taken on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of last week, but then I fell behind.

Here's Sunday's. This is my little Ginger. The least photogenic of my three cats, and the most neurotic ;)

Guestbook

I made this guestbook for Betsy and Sean's wedding (next Saturday!!!). I used Christine's instructions for the accordian folded binding, adding ribbon and also adding a ribbon to the front. It's not perfect, but I like it and I think Betsy does too (I made her come over and look at it). She didn't want any flowers in the front (shucks), but liked the simple cover. She's going to type up all the info and I'll print it and put it inside the front cover. I left the ribbons a bit long so my sister can play with the bow.

CIAC

This is where I get my crack in a cup, aka a Dunkin Donuts Caramel Swirl Iced Latte. It's like heaven in a plastic glass. :)

My spot

Since I missed yesterday, here's a second photo for today. This is where I sit and scrap. You can see Morgan's Littlest Pet Shop toys in the background. This table doubles/triples as our dining room table too. This is where we eat all our at home meals. Don't you love our mismatched chairs?! I sure don't!

Thinking of you

Christine challenged us to make 6 different "charming" Thinking of You cards. Here are mine. Good news, I think I may have gotten some of my mojo back ;)

Lilacs #2

My lilacs have definitely popped! The leaves are coming in and there are a few where you can see there will be flowers. Can't wait till they flower. Love the smell :) These are the white, but the purple have flowers too!

Bobby Socks & Cleats

Morgan got herself dressed for her softball game on Monday. She had ruffled bobby socks on that she had worn all day, so she just took off her sneakers and put her cleats on with them. Softball was fun. Beautiful night for it!

Here she is covering 2nd base. The Twisters played the "Mud Dogs" (may be spelled "Dawgs") last night!
