My Clothesline Swap Arrived!

I participated in a swap put together by Sarah at GypsyMermaidLife and there it was in the mail today...so exciting.

Here it is...so cute.

The Dress is made by Leslie, the Butterfly by Mary Ann, Bloomers by Sarah...
Bird by Kelley, Hat by Rosa and Gloves by Chelise.

Love it all...thanks ladies!
Below are the pieces I made for the swap.

Happy Thursday to you

Last Saturday, my nephew and his wife brought their boy down for a visit. While my niece was enjoying some alone time shopping at the mall, the rest of us went out to enjoy nature and as the little guy says, "huck some sticks" into the pond. Watch out for the stick Nate! You can see the little guys head and hand holding the stick.

My sister ordered a hat online and it arrived. It was made by Anna Shoub and you can see her etsy shop here.
As usual, my daughter and I liked the hat and now we want one too.

Bye for now...

My daughters Pink Hair

Before...brown hair.After professional bleaching and added purple and black streaks...

Next I put pink in her hair where it was bleached.
Tomorrow we will add more pink to make it brighter.

Such fun was had by all!

Wednesday's I is for...

Ice Spikes!Our tap water makes these ice spikes every now and then.

"An ice spike is an upward-facing icicle that forms as a body of water freezes."
This information is from Wikipedia on "Ice Spikes."

Happy "I" week!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

My friend has her birthday today, so along with a bunch of others, we are going to lunch!
I get to meet my other friends new baby too.
It should be a fun day.

I'm a bit sad

I missed my blogiversary! It was on March 4.
Oh man... I was going to have a giveaway...I have some thinking to do. :)

Ellen and Glitter

H is for and I missed G...

Honk Honk!

These are the geese that were born here last summer.Scratch sees his chance to hunt the geese.

Pa goose is making his way out of the back yard and leading his family back to the pond.

Ooh...it's so easy to hunt those honkers from behind a fence isn't it Scratch?!!

Now back to March...
What's that we hear?
Honk! Honk! Honk!
Ma and Pa goose are back!
Fun will be had by all!

Bead heaven

I went to a bead festival today.
Thousands of beads everywhere I looked.
It was so much fun that...
I forgot to take pictures while I was there!

I LOVE beads...and stones...and gems!
They're so beautiful.

A visit to Mom

Here I am at the front door of my Mom's new home.
She was off at the doc getting her chemo so I had to wait.
Here she is, but she doesn't see me.

Now she sees me!

This is her room.
I took her favorite chair, lamp, picture and a tv to her.
We're making it more like home.

For those of you that know Violette, the land across from the harbor and over the water there is White Rock BC Canada as seen from my Mom's town.

Now I'm headed home to my town...land on the left, water on the right.
For ten years we lived a block from this spot.
I sort of miss it. :)

Better water pics next time!
