Before..... and after!This morning I decided that my craft box definitely needed to be organized. As you see in the picture below, I couldn't even shut the lid! So I dumped everything out on the floor and neatly put it back in. You can't really see it in the picture but w hat takes so much space is a big box of wool... If that wasn't in there, the lid would always be able to go on right! :-) I must say that that finished product looks a big better... Even if the lid does bulge out a little. ;-) In that box there is two wrapped shoe boxes with beads and acorn caps, a lot of felt, a box with an unfinished sock money inside, a little basket with finished people, and many other misc things... That little yellow container has seed beads in it. I'm going to try embroidery with beads one of these days... I've seen pictures of it and it always looks really neat!Next I tackled my desk. Well,  I had done m ost of my desk yesterday and Saturday night so there wasn't much left. You can see many interesting imprints in the dust there. It shows that I haven't dusted my desk in... who knows how long its been! The picture on the left is the whole corner that my desk is in. The flower in the corner is actually on Betsy's desk but it stuck into the picture... This collage is pictures of Emily taken on Saturday. She is reading Green Eggs and Ham. I tried to get her to look up more often but she was too busy reading. :-) I guess she hasn't memorized it yet....  That's it for now! I've got to go fold my laundry... :-p
Crafts Part 2 & Yesterday's funI decided I'd better post these pictures soon because I've been busy making more! :-) First there are those felt strawberries that I mentioned earlier. Some of you are getting snow, but here our strawberry tree is just starting to give the juiciest strawberries ever! (yeah, I know, strawberries don't grow on trees!) You'll notice that one of the strawberries doesn't have any seeds... That's because I got bored of sewing them. I actually made 4 but only three got in the picture. The strawberries are actually bright reds and greens, but I set my camera for different colors. What is this?
 Would another picture help?
 Now can you figure it out? We were driving home from church last Sunday and I saw a guy with a similar pillow on his headrest. I attempted to make one that afternoon and this is the result. I think I'll take it on our next car trip. It could also be used when you are in an airport. Strap it to your forehead and you can lean back on the wall comfortably. ;-) JK, I don't think that would be a very practical use...
And lastly, here is my new blanket. You take two pieces of fleece and cut a fringe around it. Then tie the two pieces together! It is a wonderful lap blanket, and it's just the right size to throw around my shoulders.  I'm trying to decide if I should spend $1.75 for the patterns for the project I'm working on right now... I've got most of it done without the pattern though so I don't know... But I'm not telling what it is until it's finished.
Yesterday we went the park to have an early birthday celebration for Elisabeth with friends. It was very cold and a little windy, but we all had fun anyway. here is Betsy with one of her presents:  And then last night, we met some friends at Sam's Club, (we don't have a membership so we have to meet them there) and ate pizza. Then we got one of the big flat bed carts and Mackenzie, Betsy and Emily rode on it while I pushed. We found many items in the toy section to covet after... :-) This horse is one of them. Here's Mackenzie as a cowgirl.
 Well this post definitely got long! If I got rid of the pictures it would help, but the pics are the fun of the post! :-) Hopefully I'll get my other project done soon and be able to post pictures!
A Surprise in the MailIt was such a blessing and an excitement to receive the Christmas edition of The Girlhood Home Companion in the mail today! I'm not really sure why I received one, but I am so glad I did!One of the reasons I love this magazine is because of the lovely illustrations and paper dolls that Miss Breezy Tulip has in many of the issues. They are so beautiful. I plan on taking the paper dolls that I just got with the magazine, getting random frames from the thrift store, and hanging them on my pale green, bedroom wall.  If you haven't heard of The Girlhood Home Companion, then I highly recommend it! Would you like to see more of my photostream? Copyright 2009 Defective Compositions SNOW!!!It snowed! Rather it's snowing! I went outside and this little tiny snow flake landed on me and I watched it as each little bit of it melted on my sweater... If you lived anywhere else besides Texas you wouldn't think twice about it. After all it was a snow flake here and a snow flake there... but it's snow!! We went out back, the kids had left the sand box open and when it rained a couple days ago it had filled up with water. Now it's frozen over with a layer of ice. I'm so excited. Well I have to go but I thought it was worth a blog post. There I'm happpy! Now you know. ~Anna { Last Page } { Page 2 of 10 } { Next Page } |
