This is Nick's little corner of our yard. For some reason he loves Morning Glories and we have planted them for him. This year we planted 2 kinds for him. Next time you see this corner it will be over run with them. They do look pretty on the fence.
Don't you just love this big cup? I do. When I first seen them a Wal-mart I knew that I had to get one for my mom for Mothers day. We both are tea drinkers. I also had to make her a big tea bag for it. I got two brown FQ's and wrapped them in tissue paper and added a string and a tag that I cut like a Red Rose tea bag. Made for a pretty cool gift if I have to say so myself.
Last week when I got around to trimming my butterfly bushes I came across this. I left it there so I could see what will come out of it. I am hoping for a butterfly. The branch looks funny there but I couldn't cut it off and when what ever it is comes out then I can cut that branch off.
I have been nursing 4 clematis along now for about 3 years and this is one of them in bloom. One of them got caught by Shawn and the weedeater and the other 2 bloom later. I only had about 4 flowers on it last year. DH wanted tomatos again this year and after seeing the topsy tervy tomato planter he had to have one only we got a different one but on the same order. We will see how many tomatos we get this year. He had to plant 2 other plant the old fashioned way just to be sure he get some. We planted a bunch of other seeds in the front beds. Hope they all grow. Cosmos hollyhocks zinnias poppys and some other ones that I can't remember. I planted sweetpeas on the front fence. I hope the grow cause they smell so good when they bloom. I've never planted them before. We have snapdragons in the lightpole bed and we don't have to plant those, they come up from last year.
Brittany's prom was last weekend. She got her princess dress that she wanted and of course she was beautiful. She also had her first date that night. I didn't have a better picture of her by her self on my camera. At least not one that showed her dress. She is going to put her pictures on a cd for me so maybe then I can post a better one.
I got busy on Wed. and made Nick Butch and I pillowcases. Nick's and mine are Michigan ones and I made Butch a Cleveland Browns and a Cleveland Indians one. Mine is pink. I used Joanne's pattern and it was easier than my pattern and the seams are finnished on the inside.
I read a few blogs everyday and on Terry Atkinson's blog she showed an Art Binder. I really liked them because I like graph paper and that is what she showed in it on her blog. Sooooo I had to try one. And one turned into 2 but the other on is not done yet. I did not know how they would turn out so I just grabbed some FQ's at Wal-mart to do them with. Turned out ok. I might have to make one for all of the grandkids. They always want me to make them things. I might have to try and make a bigger one so I can put a large pad of graph paper in it. It also holds twist up colored pencils[my favorite for drawing quilts].
I am all caught up in my blocks for the family exchange. Yea! I only have to do 7 more for the next time, but I am not behind those. I don't have to have the next 7 done till in July. I do have them started.
I have been blogging for over a year now and I am learning as I go. Sometimes things don't go as I plan them. I learned the last post that my pictures go in backwards from the way you enter them and this time I put them in the way I really wanted to post them.
I have also learned things from other bloggers. I have learned that I am not the only girl that was in love with Donny Osmond and that I am not the only person to listen to John Denver. And do you know what? I still listen tothem and I still enjoy it like I used to. I have learned many other things too like my son is not the only one that is not perfect. I pick up pointers on quilting issues and other things as well. I enjoy others quilts that they post about. I like reading about familys and just everything. Thank you everyone for letting me see into your lives. Karen
