Doh!

So as im sitting here uploading photos, and looking outside at the snow, it occurs to me that we are getting quite an accumulation of snow on our awning, and perhaps i should get out there and beat the snow off of it. And as im gazing out at this lovely Spring storm the entire awning collapsed! Doh....

We had to shovel our car out to see what kind of damage we received...

Some minor body damage...frustrating, but at least lucky that the windshields didnt break!

Also, some minor damage to the taillight. Well, it could have been worse...so i guess we cant complain too much.

Jordyn seemed to be enjoying the snow while we were outside...until she got cold, that is! Hope you enjoyed our little snowstorm update! cheers~

Spring is in the....oops...nevermind!

Over a foot of snow, and still falling! I know i havent posted Easter pics yet, but i had to share these shots of our house and yard this morning! Enjoy! Hope you are enjoying a lovely Spring day wherever you are :)

First Trip to the Library ~

We finally made it to storytime yesterday...Jordyns first trip to a library. We arrived early to let her become familiar with her surroundings before the onslaught of kids arrived. She really liked all the toys, books, puzzles and goodies...and i was rather impressed myself!

After storytime, each kid got to decorate a basket for the Easter egg hunt...and here is Jordyn with her rather festive bag!
She was ready before most of the other kids, and kept sneaking into the main part of the library to scope out where all the eggs were.

She hit her quota almost immediately...sneaking around the library earlier certainly helped!

But she had fun running up and down the aisles...oops...here's one. I had a great time too...and found several books for her as well as me!

As soon as we got home she had to check out her loot. All in all, i think it was a little bit of sensory overload for her...soooo much to see and do...but i know she loved it!

That evening we decorated our own Easter eggs...glitter and all! What fun! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Cheers~

For all designers...enjoy!

What did you do today?

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

New Fabric to Brighten the Black Bear

Well, this is what i woke up to this morning...

An icy day indeed!
Thankfully a colorful package arrived from Hancock's of Paducah, which helped to brighten my day! Ive been anxious to receive the lovely new Michael Miller Fairy fabric inspired by Cicely Barkers artwork...however, it seemed to be back ordered forever. Well, today it arrived!

I ordered several fairy panels to use in crazy quilts, as well as this geisha panel.

I thought it would make a nice center piece for these blocks i swapped on about.com a few years ago. The pattern was designed by Kate, and it was the very first swap i participated in, so id like to see them in a quilt soon.

And...because you can never have too many pair of pajama pants, and because i like to wear them as regular pants...i ordered this fun pattern as well. It also comes with a pattern for a pillow case, and a cute bag.

Its snowing...again! Time for playdoh!

April Fools...no, it actually is snowing again! ugh! Thankfully Jordyn and i went out exploring before it started to get too wet.

She cant seem to get enough icicles...she loves eating them. I gave it a try and thought they tasted like dirt...but i couldnt convince her otherwise, so she munched away on them.

She enjoyed sliding, swinging, climbing, and playing in the dirt...oops...thats not dirt...thats sheep poo! doh! Yes, they look just like brown jelly beans :)

She likes to pretend she's serving food out of her little house...if you drop by, she'll fix you a hot dog and a drink.

When it started to snow, we headed inside for warmth and playdoh fun. A dress and jewelry were required. (note the plastic ring she hung on her lobe like an earring...pretty clever! All in all...a lovely afternoon!
Sorry i dont have any crafts to show...i finished two more of Ellies February BOM, but they are the same as the one i already posted...i also finished a logo design for our fire department, but im waiting for approval...and im working on a gift, that i cant show photos of....but i promise to post pictures soon! Thanks for visiting :)
