Oh what a beautiful mornin...

I recently completed a sign for the Mounds View Community Theater for their upcoming "Oklahoma" musical. Since I gave it to them, here is my way of keeping record of doing it. Funny, that I did it the day it was about 95 degrees, and got to luckily hang out in the basement, paint, and watch Little House on the Prairie at the same time :) I was totally in the spirit.

Here are some beautiful petunias in the back yard.


I finally completed two bags for two special moms for mother's day! I was inspired by a bag shown in the interweave crochet magazine. I absolutely fell in love with the fabric...I made an extra few crocheted blocks...I may have enough for a bag for myself.


We now not only have rabbits (which have eaten all of my begonias once again), but butterflies galore in the back yard. I went out and picked raspberries last night, and while I was doing it, butterflies kept landing on my shoulders. One even landed on my hand!





Granny On...Spring Showers

So I recently got caught up in the granny square crochet madness. I checked out the granny along websites, and got inspired. From that site I saw a cute little granny square that I needed to know how to do. So, I found the book, 200 Crochet blocks for blankets, throws and afghans, by Jan Eaton. The pattern that I am doing is the willow pattern block. I love the different colors. I'm actually trying to make my own version of the Larger than Life bag from Interweave. But not quite so big. I was attempting 2 of them for Mother's Day, but as you can see...that didn't get quite finished. Oh well.



Spring is finally here! I have truly enjoyed seeing which flowers are blooming in our yard this year. Chris got me a new camera for a graduation from getting my masters/Xmas/birthday present this year. I love being able to zoom in on things! So fun! Here are some of the bleeding hearts, tulips and ferns in our yard. The only thing we don't have that I really wish we had was a red/pink flowering crab apple tree. They smell so wonderful! They are just past their peak in color and bloom here.


Here are some of our multi-colored tulips out in front. Fun!


We have ferns galore in the backyard..so many I want to dig them up. There is something about them, however, that reminds me of our house on Greenwood Drive...we must have had lots of them. Here is one of the geraniums that I got when at the local nursery. My mom and I spent some time last Saturday picking out some begonias and geraniums. Here is the hubby:)



We are having lots of showers...wedding and baby showers at both of my schools in the next couple of weeks. Here are two wedding cakes made out of bath towels for two different wedding celebrations.


Here is a onesie that I decorated with some hand embroidery and felt...a little alien robot dude...I'm not sure which one.
