Mckenzie's $6.00 Dress

One day I was looking around the internet for a craft to work on.  What I came across was this adorable bandana dress. I just knew that Mckenzie would love a dress like this.  So I headed out to buy my supplies.

I found a $4.00 shirt at Walmart.......

......and 2 red bandana at $1.00 each

I cut a circle out of the 2 bandanas, that I had folded together.

I then sewed the shirt to the bandanas,,,,,,and got one happy little girl! (For only $6.00)

My Baby Girl is Turning 40 (shhh, it's a surprise)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Dawn!

We were able to keep it a secret and she was very surprised.  She thought she was coming to have family pictures taken (again).

A very BIG thank-you to Whitney and Kaley for all of your help!

We had very yummy food......

and Birthday Cake.

What a beautiful family.  She really loved the apron I made for her.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Who Doesn't Love Angry Birds?

Recently I was showing off a crocheted baby cap and blanket at work ( I can't show you the adorable set yet, not until I give it as a gift).  One of my co-workers fell in love with it, but asked if I could make her a Yellow Angry Bird for her granddaughter.  So I began looking for a pattern.....and couldn't find one.  So I improvised.  I didn't even know what a Yellow Angry Bird looked like.  With a little research on the net this is what I came up with.  Looks pretty cute angry!  What do you think?

He sure looks angry to me!  

So we decided to do a swap.  She is a very experienced quilter, and I told her to just make me something.  I like surprises. This is what she came up with and made for me.

Isn't he ADORABLE? 

This very cute Reindeer is a Christmas card holder.

I am very much looking forward to receiving your cards this Christmas season.

Ok, whose next?  I really enjoy this swapping!

I GOT MAIL!

When I went to my mailbox on Wednesday, I had a package.

My friend, Dawn, at Creative Cain Cabin had sent me 3 beautiful flower pins.

I can't wait to wear them all! Thank you Dawn for a very nice gift.

Epcot Food & Wine Festival

Recently I was invited to go to Epcot to the Food and Wine Festival

by my brother & sister-in-laws, Jeff & Lisa.

I was a guest in there beautiful home for the weekend.

We had the best  pastries from a pastry shop down this french street.  I had the best napoleon I have ever tasted.

We ended the day rocking to the music of Night Ranger.

Thrifiting Friday

Today, while out doing errands, I decided to stop by the local GW.  This has become one of my favorite things to do lately.  I found a like new pair of black pants (for work or play), a new Gloria Vanderbilt peasant blouse and a new pair of brown sandals.  With my senior over 55 discount it came to a grand total of $11.00.  If you have an hour or so to spare stop in to your local GW and find yourself a great deal.
