EASTER DRESSES

Although I am finding it increasingly hard to sew, I decided that this year I would go for it and make some dresses for the grand-girls to wear to church.

A couple of months ago I found some fabric at WalMart for $1.50 a yard so I gobbled it up and this is what I ended up with…

Very simple dresses…

With little crocheted shrugs…

Even one for the littlest one…

I didn’t get pictures yet of all of them in their dresses but here are a few…

And then of course things wouldn’t be normal without them being goofy…

That’s how we roll.

SPRING PART 2

“I looked o’re the fence and what did I see?

One little horsie in the field behind me!”

(Sing it to “Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree”)

This little one was born yesterday morning in the field behind us….

Isn’t it cute?

It was this one’s turn for a sleep-over…

So I woke her up to come see…

We got some carrots from the fridge and tried to coax them over…

Didn’t work. I guess we’ll try taking them over there…

Here horsie, horsie, horsie….

I’ve got a treat for you…

Grams, they won’t come…

Come back Aubrey, I miss you…

That was fun…

Ooooops…

I think I stepped in something…

Better clean it off…

Well at least the other horse will eat them…

That’s cause for celebration…

Breakfast at our favorite “Star Cafe”…

I sent a text to tell my girls about the wondrous occasion and this was Emma’s response…

I’m a Gramsneigh!!!!

SPRING

When it’s spring break and you are visiting Grams and this is happening…

You sew…

Pillow Cases…

You go and visit MIMI SUE  at the store she works at and try on dresses without even taking off your levis and t-shirt….

Then your cousin comes over and you make a bunch of these…

And then you take them outside and do this…

It was fun and one can always dream of warm and sunny days….

HOW MANY THINGS CAN YOU FIND?

It’s snowing and snowing and snowing and once again I have been told to do nothing but rest with my foot up so I am bored.
Want to play a game?
This is my coffee table that I am sitting in front of and wondering why there are so many different things on it…

I gave myself a good chuckle when I started to think about it. (Yes I am very bored!!)

Can you find all these things?
A cockroach, Barbie and accessories, instructions for Paintastics, notes I took from LDS conference, a Rubik’s cube, binoculars, a Church magazine, iPhone cord, thumb drive, wallet, book I wrote on my parent’s lives, Uu-Gi-Oh pinball game, stop sign, current crochet project, toy cannon my husband made while he is in Iraq, medical supplies for wound du jour, antibiotics for same wound du jour, receipt from Wal-Mart, iPad, iPhone, remote control, coupons for a cheap haircut, other coupons including ½ price entrée at Marie Callender’s (YUMMM), cub scout binder, bills , crochet magazine, hymn book, empty water bottle , bear bells bought in Glacier park many years ago, acute butterfly glass, an English 5 pence coin found in a taxi cab in Yemen, a watch, an egg cup, some Easter decorations, my Bible, cute note cards with the letter “J” on them given to me by my friend Sue, New Testament Study Guide, sewing pattern, Hymns I selected for this coming Sunday, scissors, ear jack extender, red pen, numerous fingerprints, lots of dust and bottom of the shoe scrapings from those of us who put our shoes up on it.
These pictures might help…

Oh and why, you may ask am I sitting here with nothing better to do?  It is because of this…

A nice little sliver that I got in my leg when I was just innocently walking by my garden border. It just jumped out of the wood and imbedded itself deep in my leg.  I tried to pull it out but I guess I didn’t get all of it because after two days the area around it got all red and hot. I went to the doctor and he had to cut it open and pull it out and it was full of puss and all sorts of yummy stuff.
So now I have to clean it twice a day and pack it and keep it up.
If you love to see gross and disgusting things you can go   HERE  to see it. I dare you not to do it!
