HAPPY GREEN REDNESDAY

Ahhh the wearin o’ the GREEN and sharin o’ the RED…
Do you ever do weird things to your kid? This poor little guy didn’t have a chance. He was born the last of 7 kids and quite a bit later than all the others so not only did he have to put up with all his older brothers and sisters doing things to him, he had to put up with a mother who now had more time to do “fun” things.
20 years ago, GREEN kid with RED spots (chicken pox)

Kid wearing RED shorts who got into GREEN paint…

(I started dyeing his hands and ears green for St. Patrick’s day when he started pre-school and we did it every year. He was such a cute little elf-like kid that I just couldn’t resist.)

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU SPILL (DUMP) YOUR CHEETOS

You call upon your friends to help you clean them up…

Yummy…

 

You’re doing such a good job Missy and Gino!

 

Here let me help you a little…

We’re getting there…

Hey Gino, where did you go?

I guess it’s just Missy and me now…

Almost done…

All done. Good job Missy!

 

And that my friend, is how you clean up your Cheetos

BET YOU CAN’T MAKE JUST ONE

I found this TUTORIAL and haven’t stopped yet.

Here are just a few I’ve made….

I found this ribbon at Michaels for $1.00 and there was 3 yards on it. I just cut it in half and made 2 for $1.00

 

This was the first one I made….

 

This is a fun spring one…

Our local little sewing store has this ribbon in various colors for just 30 cents a yard.

 

Give them a try. You will be hooked.

MY DAUGHTER WENT TO VEGAS

And brought me some RED.

I asked her for something with red or white polka dots and her clever husband said,”Not a problem, I’ll get you some dice!”

Funny boy!

Instead she went to Anthropologie….

 

Look, even the handles on the bag are red…

This is a timer with a magnet on the back so it sticks to your fridge…

So cool….

And this mug isn’t red but I love it. It has a nice flat bottom so I won’t be able to knock it over very easily. Any of you who know me well know that this happens often.

Then she went to a place called, RED ROOSTER ANTIQUES, and got me this fun little box…

I am going to use it as a little sewing case.

Thank you Emma.

OVERDOING IT AGAIN

In the LDS Church (Mormon) we have the Young Women Program  for girls ages 12 to 18.  My daughter Bekah is in charge of the youngest girls called the “Beehives”.
She has a new girl coming in this month so she asked me to make something special for her to put her books and papers in. She was thinking just a simple bag, I was thinking…..

A cover for her binder…

A cover for her scriptures….

And a bag to hold them in….

You know….
“IT’S NOT DONE TIL IT’S OVERDONE”
There are pockets on the inside to hold her little booklets she will get….

And of course, flowers….

All young women like flowers….
       I think she will like it.

I GUESS I NEEDED ANOTHER HOLE IN MY HEAD.

Because I really “NEEDED” these….

My daughter Bekah and I went to our local thrift store looking for totally un-dish related items.

I saw these off in the distance and it was a good thing there was no one in my way or they would have been totally mowed over. (I’m not kidding)

Look at them!

Now you can’t tell me I didn’t “NEED” them.

 

I mean, come on, RED POLKA DOTS…

Could I leave them there, alone and orphaned in the thrift store?

I think not!

And best of all, my daughter wanted to buy them for me as a gift!

Poor orphans, sooo sad, especially this one. It is missing it’s stems…

No one could love them more than I would. It was meant to be!  True love.

There were 8 dinner plates, 4 salad plates and only 2 bowls. I have searched high and low all over the internet so see if I could find more but alas I can find none.

Now, where to put them?
