Donations..

On April 26Andersonville Community Church hosted the 2nd Annual Community Baby Shower in Clarkston. This shower was for unwed mothers and teen mothers who were in need.
Since I make baby items, embroidered burp cloths and aprons it only seemed right to donate a few things to the girls. These are a few or the items I sent.

I have to say these are some crazy misfit monkeys. But I always had a soft spot for misfits :)

Cutie Pie thinks he kinda looks like a cow instead of a monkey. :)

Somedays You Feel like a Princess

My flirty Apron swap partner sent me a package YAY!

She personalized the mailing box and even made cute matching fabric recipe cards!

My partner really out her self with her creative way of bringing everything together.

Even her comments on the thermometer ( yes my husband agreed with it I looked"hot" in my new apron hehe) to incorporating my favorite things polkadots and daises into a beautiful reversible apron!

WoW ! All I can say is I LOVE IT!!

Thanks so much I couldn't have asked for a better swap partner.

I have really enjoyed working on my apron and it was so much getting this beautiful one in the mail, you can tell that a lot of thought and care was put into every stitch.

This Flirty apron swap was a great idea.

Happy Spring!

Spring arrived yesterday and so did Bud's new baby Boy!

Announcing Christopher Michael:

He arrived EARLY!!! Thursday morning so early I had to go home from falling asleep in the hospital waiting and missed all the excitment. We went to meet him on Thursday night after work when mom,dad, and baby were well rested and ready for company.

Along with the baby came more snow, think mother nature fliped the wrong switch instead of sping she hit winter. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day To'Ya!!!

Today is my day off WOOO - HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent the day running erron's paying bills and visiting MOM. Everywhere I went everyone was dressed in there Green St. Paddy's Day Best .

Except for me :(

Even Dave had on a Shamrock tie heee heee and green shirt.

When he saw me he asked "where is your green?" I replied " I am Irish and I don't have to wear green" 'wink' He didn't buy it. Until..... we saw uncle Gene at Meijers and he had the same answer.

Us Irish Folks gotta stick together :) *wink*

Just a Hug

Fabric Shopping


Today we dropped my mother-in-law off at the bus station in Detroit, so she could return to Kentucky. Back to work for her, we were worried the latest snow storm would cancel her trip but it all went fine.

Since we were in the area I made a stop at Haberman Fabrics in Royal Oak Mi to search for apron fabric.
I found the cutest one for my swap partner I hope she likes it.

Here is a picture of the apron pattern I am going to use.








I was so excited, soon as I got home we started cutting out the patern and fabric.


Tomorrow we start sewing!
