Today's Harvest

Look at all these strawberries we picked in our garden today! And they are so sweet and yummy.

We were in Arkansas this past weekend for our niece's wedding. She was a lovely bride.














This is Aubry's Easter dress. She wanted a simple dress with bunnies and ric rak flowers.











This is one of my next projects. I found these chest drawers at an antique store in Nolensville while out with my dear friend, Stephanie. She was in Nashville and came out to see us. She and I got out for a while and OH the pretties we found. My plan is to add some shelves to the interior of these drawers and hang them in the living room. I have a wall in there that has been begging for something really cool since we moved here. I think this is it. I'll post the "after" shots when this job is completed.

Spring Blooms

Does a pop-up camper count as a "spring bloom"? It does "pop" up like a flower. It's our latest addition and it is SO cute. I'll have to add more pictures later of what I've done on the inside. I made new curtains and covered the cushions. I also covered the "bathroom" walls to make them more interesting. But those pictures will come at another time. But enjoy the other pretties here.

Todd's plum trees are blooming!

Aubry and Logan's EGG-cellent Adventures

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.
