Happy naptime....

and you have to love the bed head boy hair when he wakes up! (and he is sooo stinkin cuddly too!)





I get sooo much done during naptime...

... I finished a new fresh water pearl and pressed flower pendant necklace to match one of my new summer tops!!!


and made this snappy little apron number, too!





modeled by the lovely, Shannon...



Went out this morning and sent off my candy cup to my partner, Lorraine! Make sure you click on her name to scoot over to her DIVINE BLOG...OMGOODNESS WHAT LOVLINESS!!!



Last weekend we took a little trip to the chicago area to Gurnee Mills outlet mall...

Maxx got to pose with this CATCH OF THE DAY!


...and of course the REASON his catch made CATCH OF THE DAY...MUST be due to the Brand NAME on the pole!


Speaking of Maxx...this last weekend I took him for a program that is sponsored thru the school district...called THREE TO GET READY...

omg...can it be that the baby...is almost ready for (GASP) SCHOOL? He was sooo excited...and had a hard time sitting still until it was his turn..



Here is the start of my MONSTER atc's (at this point you are suppose to COWER in fear..well maybe not...they are monsters of the CUTE kind..)

just have to add the green slime...to the edges...and that is about as scary as THESE monsters get! (unless one should fall on the floor wet paint side down..then THIS PERSON...will get REAL UGLY!

Finished a cowboy theme curtain for sweet Logan's room...and still have lots to do...
and my poor INCHIES have been sorely neglected...

Saturday is DATE nite..for David and I...don't know where we will go...yet..hmmm...

Well as usual...

HUGZ til next time!

happy tuesday everyone!

Getting ready for the promise of warmer weather! In the 50's today...with a PROMISE of 60's on thursday!!! (lalalalala..not listening to the snow prediction for sunday...)

Here in wisconsin...when the summer weather clothing hits the stores...it's time to buy...(just try to find a swim suit in july..lol...there may be a few between the winter clothing racks...lol)
Maddy got a pair of summer sandals and had to model them for the camera...(she asked that you don't notice her chipped polish...lol)



And upon seeing maddy going toe to toe with the camera...(no pun)Maxx had to plop on daddy's brewer baseball cap..for a mug shot...


WE'VE BEEN COUNTED...HAVE YOU?


Had a Challenge to create an easter bunny for Cloth doll artistry this week...Here is what i came up with...(we all used the same pattern...)
Her name is Spring...


I created her from onsaburg fabric...and painted her face...Her clothes i made of voile and vintage laces...her little bunny dollie, eggberta..is made from a vintage pre-loved baby blanket.



and i made these bird in the nest charms for a swap on amusing muses...



working on my inchies...

Hope this post finds everyone well...and ready for spring....(depending on where each of you is in the world...) Sending out my love to all...and as always...

hugz til next time!!!

shhh....it's a secret...

....but from the looks of it...it looks like a message of LOVE in this bottle...wonder who it's for?

my 6th little inchie square I call Message in a Bottle...



Had some fun today...the kids wanted to paint...so i prepared a palate for each of them and let them go....



while maddy's looked like the beginning of a spring garden....





maxx said his looked like CHOCOLATE MILK...



Went out car shopping today...had a handful of car possibles in hand...will report in soon...

TOMMORROW BRINGS A FLEA MARKET BRIGHT AND EARLY...AND THEN....

Wishing on stars?

But of course!!! Especially when they are STARFISH!!!

My new addition to my stitchin sampler!



I totally had a different idea of what my fifth little inchie square would be...but my muse took me in a whole different direction! (perhaps it was because i was watching american idol...and seeing the STARS being born...)

This weekend is....GASP....



Have tickets in hand...prebought because many of the shows are sold out already...i'm NOT a crowd of people fan...so we will be going Sunday morning...(saved 4.50 a ticket by going to the early IMAX 3-d performance! and heck that savings pays for the popcorn!!!)

had some jewelry time...







Finished a couple of t-shirts for a sweet friend's little angels too! Just have to add a few bows...(as soon as the ribbon gets here!!!)



It's been a busy week!!! Everyone play nice and as always...
