Sew Cool!

Jessie and Hannah came over for a visit and sewing lessons. I think Hannah gets the hang of it and Jessie is doing all right too ;-)

Lesson #1 - a cute flirty apron

What Makes Me Smile

Family, babies, snuggling with grandchildren, making suncatchers, and of course Bunny Wars! Well, actually the bunny wars made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe!

Christopher Takes The Cake!

Kathy and I had so much fun - oh, and LR too ;-) making Wedding Cake Cookies. Won't they look beautiful in a pretty celophane bag? They will be the place cards for the wedding luncheon on Friday. It's a good thing they are too pretty to eat because I don't like the taste of royal icing :-P

Ro's Shelves

Since we've had a snowy spring break and LaRon wasn't able to golf - he spent some time in the woodshop with his Dad making some shelves for Ronal. I like the ones he built for me in January and I hope Ro's shelves find a happy home too!

Calligraphy Project

My pens and ink have been boxed up for a long time! So I was a little nervous when Bethany asked me to write in her wedding guest book. SHE MADE THE BOOK and it is BEAUTIFUL! I've taken a mini class on book binding - but she learned the "real" way - even the braid at the top of the book was hand sewn.

Just in case anyone who knows notices that my practice/ink blot page has the wrong date - not to worry - I figured that out before the ink touched the book! PHWEW!!!

I found the perfect color green ink and washed up the nibs - and after clearing the bar and a spot of uninterrupted time so I could focus, I finally got it done. I hope she is happy with how it turned out. I'm looking forward to their wedding in a week!

Spring Break!

The pictures say it all.......

April 16 - this is what we woke up to! My poor little peach tree.

Conference Weekend

I always look forward to General Conference weekends. I was especially looking forward to this one! We had plans to leave very early Saturday morning to be in Riverton, WY for Trysten's baby blessing. At 2am when I checked the weather/road report I was soooo sad to discover that the roads were closed. CLOSED!

I froze the cupcakes and put away the treasures I had ready to take for the rest of the grandchildren. I'm saving them for next weekend when they make their way here - hopefully the weather and the roads will make this trip possible!

Bethany Takes a Shower

We had a great time meeting some of Bethany's aunts, cousin and her grandmother. It was also fun to see some of our cousins and our aunt again!
