Recent projects

Here are a couple of my most recent projects that I've been working on. I've been selling embroidered burp cloths and embellished hooded towels to friends.


For this burp cloth I was asked to match the fabric. That was fun & challenging.

Spring Break

One of the things on Eli's list for spring break was to go to the park & go on a hike. We actually went to the park several times with the good weather and managed to go on a good hike one afternoon before the weather turned. It was a little over 2 miles and we did it without a lot of complaining or stopping! I remember the first time we attempted this hike after we moved here & it was much different. I think Tony ended up carrying both kids the last half of the hike. This time Eli even carried the backpack with the snack & drinks in it. My kids are getting so big!





We hiked to the river. It was the first time we have seen water flowing over the "waterfalls".



We found some trillium growing in the woods. So pretty.

We got a new car!

Tony is no longer in training and we now have this lovely car at our home. The mail lady already left a note asking him not to park near the mailbox. Hee hee. I especially loved the glow in the dark escape pull in the trunk. If you pull it you have to jump really high & then run, or so it seems to say.

Good Advice!

Slip slidin' away

The kids went to a birthday party at Bounce U & had a blast. I even got to jump & slide.

Having Fun!

Whee!

Spa Day

We had our spa day at MOPs. I got a back massage, hand massage, foot massage, mini facial, accupuncture & got to participate in the spa day marketplace. It was a busy but relaxing day.

Happy Birthday!

The kids wanted to surprise Tony when he got home from work on his birthday. They helped hang up streamers & balloons & even cleaned up the dining room. They were so proud of the results & the presents they wrapped themselves.

Another day at the Discovery Center

A train model of our town square. These trains made me wish Gramps could come and visit.

Sadly, I did not get a photo of it with the second floor before it was accidentally knocked down by a passing child.

Finally a good snowy day!

Our Valentine's Day celebrations

We started partying early on Friday at Eli's school with an Ice Cream Sundae party! It was Yummy!!

What a lot of loot!

The gummy worms were a big hit. Try it with your friends sometime.

The next morning, v-day proper, we went to Lowe's to do some woodworking.
