t-shirt project.....

so what you are looking at is a t-shirt i bought at the local thrift store. i added all the shiny paint and the little crystals, cut off the neck and i have one hip shirt.

i have been working on another one, but as the hubby has pointed out the bull horns just don't look right. i will keep that blunder to myself. ;)

CASE IH

so if you know me.... you know that i root for the RED tractors. International Harvesters..... boo the green. heheheh
my friend Christine showed up one day wearing a hat like the one below. i just had to have one. but, if you know me, i don't like to wear hats.... all that heat from my thinking brain needs to escape. so i managed to make it into a sun visor. i fretted over the whole project, i did not want to ruin my hat. but i finally decided it would not get wore as a hat so i might as well cut and try to sew it into something i would wear.

mexico....mission

so my friend amy and her hubby will be heading out on their second mission trip to mexico. she asked me to provide two purses. what a simple request. i then was thinking what else can i send. lately i have been making tote bags from old pillow cases which have evolved into aprons. ahhhhh, i shall send aprons. maybe they would like to have that something to wipe hands on, carry things with and to keep the clothes that they are wearing clean just a bit longer.

the purses.

the aprons.

little bits

zettie in her new beautiful dress from her aunt wendy.... bows included.


harvested garlic..... ummmmmm.


fresh picked strawberries...... ummmm too.


strange dragon fly type thing which i came across in our back yard.

look what i can do....

already on to the next milestone. just a couple of weeks ago i took away the bottle. this week we are no longer taking formula. how is it the third one grows so much more quickly. she is only 13 months old.


i promptly got her down and up she scurried again. i even took her down one last time, with the camera turned to video, she started back up.... this time, no happy ending. ( are there really ever any happy endings) i have video to prove that i am a horrible mom whom did not stop her little girl from attempting to do what her two older siblings do everyday.
