Weekend..Saturday & Sunday

Although we did alot of outside work

while the weather was hot & dry

I also got a little sewing done.

But I will focus on the FUN of the weekend.

Lil Orchid enjoyed the Bike Race

that traveled the country roads past our house,

she would wave and yell "Hi" at the cyclist

as they pasted the house. As you can see she got inspired.

Otherwise, she had a blast splashing

in the little water table we found at a sale for a couple bucks.

A worth while find!

You can see we also rescued a box turtle from the road,

Lil Orchid has named him Tommy.

Mowed some grass on the high ground,

down near the creek it is still saturated from the rain.

Blue Paradise is a size 18 months


Camo Frog capri & applique t-shirt

12 months

Did some more sewing and took a few photo's.

Thurs. Still Raining - Still Sewing !

This Polka Dot w/Minnie Mouse print
is a size 5T capri length

I'm still working on some Pillow Case Dresses or Tops,

I'm also matching them up as tops to jeans/capri's.

This is a 12 inch doll

and this little doll is wearing the same dress.

As you can see in the photo's

One Size Fits Alot!

It's all about the length ;)

Back to Sewing...

Since the weather has changed and it has been pouring off and on in flood downpours - I am trapped indoors..... WHY? ...cause I don't want to get wet !!!

Working on some pillow case dresses/tops. Whether you wear it as a dress or top depends on the length of the dress/top. I made a little larger arm hole so it fits most sizes (they would just wear a slip or tank top if needed) I LOVE eyelet, embroidery & Battenburg Lace!

I had alot of fun at these old estate sales.

Vintage is so beautiful, don't you think?

Oh yes..... and so is my Lil Orchid ;)

Memorial Day

Celebrate & Remember !

sunday, before the rain comes...

This was our 3rd day of working out in the yard,

mowing, moving yard decor and transferring plants.

It was hot and muggy because the storms

were moving into the Mississippi area.

Yes, we took our breaks in the shade and watched Lil Orchid play.

When can I rest and start sewing again ???

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...

We have been catching sales and working in the yard. But we have made for some fun...

Isn't a box the greatest adventure. Lil Orchid is going to save me from aliens?

Lil Orchid loves to help water, especially if she gets SPLASHED!

Tuesday, a Pre-K Program

It was nearing the end of her Pre-K (3 yr old) so Lil Orchid's afternoon class sang songs for family & friends during their Evening Program and Ice Cream Social.

How Cute!

Day of Rest..

A busy weekend and now.....

time to rest.

delayed Mother's Day Picnic

Last Sunday wasn't in the cards

to celebrate with my Mom for Mother's Day

so I post poned it until today.

My brother (2 counties away)was able to come into town with his three children and my sister from nearby (next County) was going to come over but my sister from Nashville TN drove up as a surprise for everyone. So we enjoyed the outdoors with Mom (Great Great) Ye Ye , Eddie with Allie, Dakota and Chance, then Vicky and Patti along with my daughter and Lil Orchid.

(It was the first full day for my son to be at his summer internship in Dearborn, MI. (Missed you!) He called and talked to me about his drive up there, his apartment, etc.

As you can see my $2 yard sale (the Big Red Spiderman Ball)

find was a BIG hit at the party, as well as baseball and washers.

Last Soccer Game & Good-bye

Early today we had to say good by to my son

who was traveling up north to his Summer Internship.

It was both sad and exciting for him and us.

It was also Lil Orchids last soccer game

and the day the awarded trophies for their hard work.

She was so excited because the girl on the trophy has a pony tail.

Since Ye Ye and Great Great was up visiting they got to see her in action too!

Wednesday, Outdoor Fun

While I was mowing Lil Orchid and her Mom Mom

played in the back yard on the trampoline

and walked along the creek.

It got to be pretty funny when the static began.

Mother's Day

I was Blessed to be able to spend the day

with my son, daughter and granddaughter.

What can I say it was beautiful!!

Feeling the Love from my children,

and watching the love between my daughter and Lil Orchid
