So many projects.....

Logan was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in Dec. and I've been reading everything I can get my hands on about it. One of the things I read suggested making an "emotion" scrapbook out of magazine pictures. So that's what this picture is about.








This is a pile of fabric I bought this past week. I plan to make a spring/summer skirt from the green piece on top. The red is just a pretty color I wanted to throw into my mix because I have trouble finding a good red for my projects. The other green/white print is still undecided, but I may have a top it will get incorporated into. The paisley print...ahhh. It is so lovely. I have already made a summer "babydoll" dress from this fabric. It's just so pretty. I'm not sure what I'll do with this, but I'm sure something will hit me.





Now this is a yo yo scarf I made this past week. It's more bulky than I expected, but it's still pretty. I enjoyed making the yo yos.

Winter Came to Tennessee

Sweet Whisper

Whisper is such a sweet cat. He has added so much to our family.

This is where I found him this morning purring his little heart out.

A Poem By me and the kids

Cats in the Pantry
Knocking down the cans,
Stepping over cereal,
Not watching where they land.

Batting at the bags,
Chewing on some chips
Spilling from containers;
Licking their lips.

Leaping from the shelves
With their bellies full and plump.
Time for a catnap.
They pile in a lump.

...and a few more things

Look at these sweet kitties. Whisper has been a wonderful addition to our family. YoYo has accepted him too.







This is a little hat I made. I received some of the bling at Silver Bella in a "stash swap".



















I've had the idea to do some kind of funky shadow box for some time now and this is what I came up with. Like it?















I was inspired by a scarf I saw in a Japanese sewing book. The picture on the scarf is from a catalog and I copied it onto fabric.

Some of my latest projects

At Silver Bella I made this cute little felted hat and I made the shrug over the holidays just for fun from the remaining part of the sweater.

This is the wrap I knitted. I LOVE the color.

This is a "purse" I fixed up from a Nesquik container. The possibilities are endless with what you could do with this idea. Teen girls would love them, I would think.

Meet Whisper

We have a new member in the family. His name is Whisper and he is such a sweet kitty boy. We got him at Petsmart yesterday and he's about 7 months old. We think he has been kept in a cage for some time. He didn't know what to think of his new home. He spent the first several hours in the powder room. He was afraid to go venturing at first. Aubry took him upstairs to her room later in the evening and while we watched a movie we could hear him running from the guest room to the bonus room. He carried a toy in his mouth too. CUTE! Yo Yo is adjusting to him rather quickly. They both played with Aubry this morning chasing a string.

The Garden Shed

One of our biggest projects of 2009 was to build a garden shed. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. It is SO cute.

Latest Creations

I have been trying to add personal touches around the house little by little and my latest "touch" is a trio I hung in the living room. Collage is one of my favorite things to do and I like to see what textures and objects I can add to make them interesting.

CRASH!

A guy ran a red light and

slammed into us on Sat Dec 26. No one was hurt but it sure shook us up.
