So, Dan and I are at the Twin's Game on Saturday and about 15 mn before the game we hear the announcer ask the crowd to welcome Sophie & Joey F. from EP onto the field with TC Bear.  We were SO surprised as we didn't even know they were at the game.  Their parents were in Vegas and they were there with D's parents.  Turns out they were randomly asked as they entered.   I ran down to see them and snapped a few pictures.  They went back out to help shoot out tshirts after the first inning.  How fun!!!

Out on Target Field

Oh dear, Blogger has informed me that I have used up all of my GB space.  They would like me to buy more space but I will probably just start a new blog or see if I can delete some old posts to free up space.  Not sure if that will work though as I deleted all the Cancun pictures and it didn't seem to matter.  I'll look into it and let you know.  In the meantime, have a wonderful May!!  :) Laurie

Spring has Sprung!

Morning sun, fog and spider webs

I was running a couple mn late but still ran back in the house for my camera to capture this image.

Hostas on May 2, 2012, unbelievable!

The walkway will soon be full of hostas. I'm working on my edges this spring.

Future salad!!!

Another container of salad and I have one more, they like the cool weather and are doing well.

Sunday Blogging

 Some pictures for my non-Facebook friends.  Facebook and Pinterest have definitely cut into my blog, sad to say.  I snapped a picture of my Feb tablescape which is now down, getting ready for a natural mossy look which I'm sure the cats will enjoy!

 These bookmarks are awfully fun and easy to make.  I made one for all 52 of my 5th graders and also some of my coworkers.  I slipped a valentine note and piece of chocolate inside.  I am still making some that I will be sending out in the mail this week.  Kinda late, oh well!

More corner bookmarks.

A necklace I made for Lynn.  I need to find more typewriter keys!

I used to love this green wool sweater but then one day I accidentally washed it and it shrunk.  I hung onto it for a someday project and finally decided to make fingerless gloves.  I washed or felted the wool a couple more times, cut the sleeves off, cut a hole for the thumb, added a blanket stitch, felt flower and now they're perfect ipad or texting gloves.  I still have lots of green left, thinking of other possibilities....

Maisy enjoys the sunshine

I sewed some new curtains for the bathroom, here's the before and...

here's the after.  I love this print in wallpaper and this will do for now.

 These matches look much prettier after their facelift.

 I found this sign at Yesterdays, in the Shabby Chic isle-LOVE it.

 The red shelf is not my usual style but I really like it.

This vintage necklace was found at the Bargain Bazaar for just 50 cents!

I think I will get much use out of it.

January Landscapes

January 5th, 2012 57 degrees!!!

Is it just me or are the sunsets this winter better than usual?

Merry Christmas!

I think Gracie was in the chocolate!  

Hope yours was merry too.

My Poor Neglected Blog

Here are shots of the Christmas Day sunset.  They are not in order and the colors just kept intensifying so I had to keep running back outside to capture as much as I could.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
