Frogs,flowers,cookies,cupcakes & toe jam!

It has not snowed in many days!

We have actually had several

"warm" days in a row!

Two times in the last week or so we have

sky-rocketed up to

60!!!

Mostly 40s and a few lower 50s

have been warming our frozen bones!

It has made a very large "dent"

in the snow that is laying on the ground

this does not excite Chloe...

...however, in the warmth of the late spring

if "the frog" does somehow make

a miraculous appearance..

then she will be happy again..

because she like to lay by the pond

and visit him..

and occasionally chase him across

the deck..

well, maybe she wasn't really visiting

but, laying in wait..

either way she will be happy..

Burpee seeds planted

in a starter kit

"The tomato farm"

In passing through the den

we pass the toy chest..

each day I have to

corral two or three wayward

teddy bears..

You would think they are trying for an escape..

Ah, but I know better...

we have two culprits who like to

practice their wrestling skills followed by

a good long kneading session

(worry not..they had a "manicure" many years ago)

and finally the teddies are used for pillows ..

Both "culprits" were found in one of their

favorite napping places..

Boo, on top of my gown...

and Bo,..well she is the lump under

the covers..

ALWAYS check the LUMP before

you sit down!!!

Yesterday was a day for baking..

Coconut cake..

today seemed to follow as another baking day...

Puppies Cookies!

When they have cooled and someone wakes up

we will put them to the "taste-test"

This past week end

there was a time for baking at

Dee-Cee's house..

I heard she had some big help...

but, we will save that for her to tell...

they called on the web/cam after the baking

was done...

and shared the eating of

Cupcakes!

Michael and cupcake

Michael, cupcake and chocolate frosting!

On Saint Patrick's Day Michael got an e-mail with dancing Teddie Bears

We got to watch him from the camera

as he watched the

cartoon teddies dance!
***

Oh, what has he found?

Could it be

Toe Jam?

Not to worry!

Here Mama..its sock fuzz!
he got it all..

he was very thorough

and checked between each and

every toe!

Last week I mentioned mailing

my last project..

I was promised it would arrive

by today..

(on a island ,an hour or so south of Savannah)

so

below are pictures of two

outfits made for

little sisters..

the oldest is 2 and the

youngest a few months old now..

I thought of how all children

love to see the fish in the store

and some even get to take one home...

this fabric makes me

want to giggle..

Miss Taylor, is receiving a short set,

with blue gingham shorts, a peter pan collared goldfish top..

accessorized with an appliqued

goldfish purse/shoulder bag

.. topped off with a goldfish/gingham hat

piped and bowed

with a bright orange and white

pin-dot fabric...

Miss Helen will be receiving a

bubble & hat

of the same fabric

so young sisters may be alike..

and yet,

different..

I hope they like them

and enjoy wearing them.

I am trying to think of a

nice outing for this

week-end..

the "weather-fibber"

says its going to be sunny

and continued

(40s-50s)

warm..

any ideas?

***

When Mr. Boo-Boo realized I was

going to be working on the

Blog..

He hurried right on down...

Because he is always

a big

"HELP"
***

lots of love!
