Finally.......

Today was the day that MamMaw finally had her knee surgery. We were there forever and Lil Orchid was beyond an Angel the whole day. All the Nurses and Doctors couldn't believe what a well-behaved child she was. She kept them all on their toes asking a million questions everytime they did something to her MamMaw. Plus they were quite amazed by her vast medical knowledge already.

To make sure they knew which leg to operate on
Lil Orchid's drawing of MamMaw on her hospital bed (yes I blurred the picture)

The outcome wasn't what we wanted to hear but as always she will survive because that is all this family knows to do. So for know I will be trying to keep up this blog till she is back to her old self.

Till Later,

Seeing some of our friends...

he has a Heart as BIG as his TALENT.

the Lighting, the Composition, his eye for the unusual - something you might see everyday but forget to see the beauty in it.

Hippity Hoppity to the Craft Fair

Today was the

big Spring Craft Fair

in St. Louis, Mo at the Lindbergh H.S.

But, under Mom Mom's instructions, she manned the booth while I drove down the street to a local church's Easter Celebration and Egg Hunt. Of course, Lil Orchid loved the singing of songs and all the kids, but her favorite part was playing games and hunting for eggs (well, it wasn't hunting- it was just picking them up in a room) but it was still fun until the older kids came in to get more eggs.

The fair was slower than we wanted, but we came out a little better than most.

Happy St Patty's Day

Happy St Patrick's Day

to all those with Irish in their genes

and those who are Irish in their soul...

Craft Fair and Cupcakes...

Craft Fair and Cupcakes, what a great combination.

TuTu's and Hair Bows seems to be the creation of choice today at the craft fair.

But today, a more favored topic is CUPCAKES!

Lil Orchid was getting

to celebrate her birthday

one more time with a great family friend.

Not only did she get a really cool gift

(sewing cards and

a cake pan shaped like a giant cupcake).

Boy is she excited that

her mom mom and her will soon be baking.

But her favorite part was the trip to the "Cupcakery",

where she was allowed to decorate her very own birthday cupcake !

Thanks Brian and Christie.

Ready to Go !

Got to set up for the Craft Fair early,

and now we are almost ready....

Those Bunnies keep on Multipling....

Worked on some more Layette Boutique items...

What are they called:

Snuggies, Stroller Blankets, Security Blankets, etc.

Both sides are a flannel for a soft touch,

and matched in some of the cutest prints.

Love those Bunnies...

Worked today on some appliqued Diapers,

sometimes used for Burp Clothes.

Lil Orchid helped her Mom Mom with Hair Bows....

check out her use for those ribbon covered clips,
hair clips or ear clips???

She wears them with Style - don't cha think?

If you see something your interested in buying

and not listed yet on my ETSY store just email me ;)

Feeling under the weather...

Not alot to say...
Feeling crappy.

Spring Fair...beginning 2010

The Craft Fair started today...

a little slower than we would have liked

- but I can't complain

because we know

we did better than others

that were there.

Of course, my daughters hair bows were a hit,

so unique & beautiful,

I love seeing people appreciate her creativity and prices!

Then, other than that the appliqued Onesies, Overalls, Inspirational stones, Blocks & Bow holders were also in demand. A lot of people just browsed, maybe to get out of the houses.

Lil Orchid of course drew praises for being a perfect little Angel !

Set up the night before...

"Little Bunny TuTu"

I really appreciate the fairs that let you set up the night before..

Still creating.

I made some TuTu and added some ears for the holiday season,

then my daughter made me some matching hair bows to pull it all together.
