So......wadddya say to an update :) There isn't much to write....well there is, but where do I start? I spent most of the day making my class room ready and I'll let you guess what the theme is for this years decorations...Let the guessing begin :-)
Most of my time is currently being consumed by baking for our annual bakesale...To tell you the truth I'm kind of sick of baking and everything that goes along with it. :s We got a few of our 'tomato work' done this week too. I'm actually looking forward to school starting, I think I need a change of scenery. As you can see I'm out of practice with the whole blogging/writing thing so goooodbye. :) Oh, I'll post a pic of my two latest projects:
Baby slipper with a hand embroidered bullion rose:
And a border I hand embroidered on one of my dresses:
Sorry so short but I have to get back into the game slowly. :)
Lately, I've got the sewing fever and I hope It never goes away. I'm loving it lately!!! Here's what I've been working on:
This is called a Buddy Pack. It's a bag and toy all in one :-D
Another pattern I bought and I made one for Kaylee and gave it to her on her 1st Birthday on May the 11th. I think she loved it cause she grabbed it and hugged it. :) ♥ I can't believe she's a year old already. ♥
Baby Sandals:
These I made for Abigail and they look adorable on her. Used jean material so it would fray - love that look.
I don't really feel like rambling or in other words writing a post and I think one is long over due. The past few weeks have been filled with bustling about trying to use as much time as the day offers us. New projects have been started, we've said good-bye to loved ones, and celebrated birthdays to name only a few things that have occupied the duration of the past couple weeks. To end this post I will post a few pictures of the projects I've been working on after school:
I bought a pattern for these Mary Jane Baby Shoes online and have been trying it out. Love it.
Willow Tree Angel I made for a friend a couple weeks ago:

Here's one I made:
There you have it...The boring life of a tired blogger...lol...
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on An' all the angels up in Heaven They're not grieving because you’re gone There's a smile on their faces 'Cause you're in a better place than they've ever known God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.
It makes me sad When I think of my Grand-dad I miss him each and every day But I know the time will come When we’ll wonder why he went away Maybe we're not meant to understand Till we meet up in the Promised Land.
You can listen to the song on the player at the bottom of my blog. It's near the end of the playlist.
I really don't have a whole lot to write these days, not for lack of not trying though. It's just that either I don't have time or I'm ways to tired to write anything that makes sense. But this blog is in need of an update thus the lyrics.
Something I wrote back and January when I became the Auntie of ~Baby Angela~. I don't pretend to be good or claim to be a good writer, just so you know. I just write what comes to mind and as lifes moments bring pain and heartache we still have to take the time to remember the blessings. I guess writing is a way of coping with the 'not so pleasant' moments that life throws our way. It's supposed to be sung to the meoldy of 'Born A Star-by the Waldner Messengers'...with a few altered twists or whatever you want to call it. It was a little difficult to write it to that melody and get it to flow smoothly because the first verse has 6 lines and the others 5. And I don't know if it's a big deal that I used 'I' in the verses and 'we' for the chorus, but it made sense at the time. Now sing it for me and send me a recording..haha.
Written for my friends and in Memory of our baby Angel.
