We've been EGGED!!

Who gets EGGED on Easter? We do!

This is what we found in our yard this morning. Dozens of plastic

eggs filled with candy.

Ignore my sad herb garden (it needs new herbs) & focus on those

cute plastic Easter eggs.

The sprinklers came on & got everything wet.

Good thing they were plastic eggs.

What a sweet (get the pun!) thing to find

Easter morning. Thanks guys!

Texas Thunderstorm

We are having a normal Texas thunderstorm accompanied by tiny hail pellets. Wanna guess where the dog is? In the closet hidden between the laundry baskets!

I can sew, I can sew!!!

Spring is in the air, accompanied by tons of sun shine.

I love spring, it gave me the urge to dust off my sewing machine & put it to work. Who knows why, I'm no seamstress & can barely sew a straight line! All I needed was inspiration ...

I've been invited to several baby showers, most registered for nursing covers. Wallah! inspiration.
They looked fairly simple & used lots of straight lines, right up my alley!

After perusing several blogs I found out nursing covers are not as simple as I thought but I wanted to try anyway. I'm really glad I did because I had fun & didn't make too many mistakes!

This is the final project. I used thick decorator's fabric so that it would hang well.

Yes, that's an 11" fleece pocket in the corner. I know I'm awesome :)

It can be used as a pocket or to wipe off the baby's mouth.

Excuse me while I log off now. I need to pat myself on the back -he hee

Special Day!

I love driving down a particular street in our town. There is such a charm about it. The homes vary in age, size, shape and landscaping. The only thing alike are the acre+ lots. Driving down this short, but oh so sweet, road calms & soothes my soul.
This weekend we found ourselves taking this route & witnessed something even more special. One of the older homes had a homemade yard sign that read "Happy 96th Birthday!" That's definitely not something you see everyday. I wanted to stop the car, run to the door & wish this sweet man a Happy Birthday. He usually sits on his front porch waving to all the cars that drive by. His chair has been empty for months so I didn't want to be the cause of a fall by making him answer the door for a stranger. Part of me still wishes I took time out of my busy schedule to stop the car.
