Baseball Opening Day...Go Cardinals

Not feeling my best, still a little weak.

But Hey, it's the ST Louis Cardinals Opening Day.

Made Lil Orchids NEW Cardinal Outfit yesterday...

and considering, I can't Believe How CUTE it is !!!

Or maybe it's Lil Orchid that makes it so-o-o Adoreable.

Which ever it was she STOLE everyone's Heart,

including the StL Media and ended up on the 5, 6, and 10 o'clock News!

It was an amazing Day and we got a lot of goodies.

Sad the Cards lost but there's always a WIN tomorrow.

What a week..

OMG !

I have been so miserable..went to the doctors and came home feeling like my head was the size of a Hot Air Balloon, my body had been hit by a Big Mac, then ran over by a Freight Train. Then tossed aside and trampled by a Herd of Something Really BIG!

But while I laid immobile. my daughter shot some really Cute photos of Lil Orchid.

More Snow and a Birthday Party...

Only 5pm, still snowing

flakes the size of quarters...

What is going on...SNOW !

5-8 inches...What is going on????

Needed to drive to the next County for a

cousin's 4th birthday party at Little Gym.

Lil Orchid had lots of fun,
but had even more fun when we drove home

past our favorite tower.

Yes, just another old grain bin

But these guys really painted it cute.

Hey, Rapunzel.

Enjoy our crazy SNOW.

I know I am..Yeah Right!

We made it home safe!

Snow

Why?

Thank Goddness by evening it is almost melted.

Working, Sewing, Making Some More....

Dainty Couture

JerseyDarling size 6-12 mos.
Dainty Couture Dress

Birthday Shirts

Bottle cap Bows

Everybody is in hyper drive working

for the upcoming shows and

filling my inventory & orders.

My head is full of IDEAS

but my body is not keeping up with it.

Luckily, I have my daughter,

although she is so busy herself working

on her AMAZING Hair bows !

I Just Love Her Bottle cap Hair bows

and so does everyone else!

She can sell over 200 at one show,

but that is because

she doesn't charge Boutique prices.

Lil Orchid is helping also,

she thinks it is fun to turn

the straps/sashes inside out for me.

She doesn't know it is tedious work.

But I'm thankful when she does it.

Happy 36th Anniversary Mom & Mel

Having my moments but feeling better
for longer periods of time and
able to get more sewing done.
Lil Orchid is getting so independent these days, and likes to do her hair her way, today she told us she wanted her hair braided...

I surprised her with these braids and told her she looked like Heidi, she expressed "No, Heidi has really curly hair" (You can tell she watches Shirley Temple movies with her MamMaw)"and that I made her look like a puppy"Which was OK!!

Happy Fat Tuesday and end of Mardi Gras

Lil Orchid is having fun with
the Mardi Gras festivals,
they are especially vibrant
in the St Louis area -
2nd Biggest in the U.S.


She drew herself and her MomMom
catching beads and that is
me with the Mardi Gras mask.
(do you think she is telling me
that I am slow, lagging behind,
that's me at the end...last!)
Celebrate and Enjoy!

Do you see the cute red crawdad print,
hot & spicy gumbo print and the masks,
my daughter somehow can find
the most unusual prints when needed.
Give us an occasion and we will CREATE IT !!

Workin',Workin'......

Lil Orchid received a letter from a Great Great Aunt

who sent her the cutest pair of socks...isn't she LUCKY !

Otherwise, we've been creating !!!
