MY NEW OLD LIFE

Here’s a hint….

Since it is REDNESDAY at It's a Very Cherry World I thought I would share some old and new REDS.(and blues and greens.)
28 years ago this happened…

See the RED eyes and patches. Then 4 years later, this happened to him…



Ahhh, lots of RED.  This happened at the same time…

And in between, these two happened…

I couldn’t find pictures of them in their uniforms but this suits them better anyway and there is RED in this picture.
They were faithful SCOUTS…



See the “Boys Life” magazine. Josh’s shirt used to be RED. (Note the bottle between the cushions. The youngest “scout” must have been sleeping.)
Then… 16 years ago, this happened…

RED beads and patches.
Now they are all grown and gone with little “scouts” of their own and now it’s my turn.
Yup, you guessed it. I am the new WEBELOS leader in our ward and I will be wearing lots of RED…

Put it all together and you get this…


Not exactly cute. Lets fix it…

Ahhhh, much better. It’s been 13 years since I’ve had a Webelo around so now I get to start all over again.
Wish me luck.

DOING OVER MY OVERDOING

A few weeks ago I made these and shared them HERE.

Today I made these…

For another new little Beehive coming into my daughter’s class.

A cover for her scriptures

A cover for her binder…

And a bag to put them in…

A few flowers to snazzy them up…

I think she will like them…

        Remember… If it’s worth doing, it’s worth over doing.

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.)
Kid with GREEN hands and ears with RED on his bike…

GREEN hair with RED eyes….

Now look what my kids do to their kids…

A few other GREENS and REDS…..

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

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.
