Home Coming 2012

It was dark and it was cold and drippy rain but we managed to capture a few pictures.  Not everyone got out of the bus because there were a couple of girls that had on the most beautiful poofy tulle dresses.  I don't blame them because it was cold but not one of the girls wore so much as a sweater.  Brrrrrrr.  You can click on one picture to see them all bigger.  Sean is on the far left of the group and the one with the boys he's the 2nd one from the right.  The ones of him in the kitchen are before everyone got there.

Above - Inside the bus - a portion of it anyway.

Sew Me Some Art



I love this background paper.  It makes me so happy to look at it.  I don't know why, maybe it's because it's so so vintage and I love sewing.  In any case I think it's just adorable.  The recipe is as follows:
Crafty Secrets CD#3 background
Graphic 45 - button and tape
sewing machine
7 gypsies - pin
Stampers Anonymous - big form
Computer generated verse
I also sponged up the edges and popped up the small and large dress form.  Large form was put on chipboard and popped - smaller one cut out from original pattern, also popped the measuring tape.

Patio 2012

After getting wiped out from hail again this year I managed to save a few plants and had to start all over again.  I do love sitting out early in the morning which is the only time you can actually enjoy it with this heat wave we have been in.  I'm posting the pics here so that you can see them all at one time instead of opening one at a time in email.  You can click on them to make them bigger.  Scroll down and see the notes I put on the bottom of a few of these before going to bigger view.


I have 3 whole peppers on that plant on the 2 white buckets



These are my morning glories I just love


My strawberry plants in the middle.





See my little tin flower - I got this at the greenhouse for 99 cents.  It must have fallen off something and I just love it.


My throw rugs to cover up the chippy floor that needs to be sanded and restained.
