Crowns and tags

In less than ten days I will make a trip to Arizona with my sister and daughter to meet some ladies who we met through blogging .
We are all making hats/crowns to wear... as in YaYa hats.
This is my crown.

I have more to add but this is the beginning.

This is the hat I am making for my sister.
She wants to add more to it as well.

I joined Karla's St Patrick's Day swap and here is what I received.
Karla added some vintage papers in the mix...love it!

These are the tags I received.

Fun!

There were others injured as well.
We had a lot of snow this morning!

School fun

Last night my daughter participated in a school talent night.
The first video is of my daughter and her friend and they pulled a couple of boys from the audience, gave them flowers and serenaded them.
The friend is back home after a year of living in a children's hospital fighting bone cancer. It was a successful fight and all of their friends are so happy to have her back.
My daughters boyfriend is there sitting scratching his head near the end.
The boys they serenaded were so embarrassed and even after it was all over they kept laughing and couldn't believe they had real flowers.
The second is of them trying a dance routine they made up a half hour before.
It was cute and they had fun.
Enjoy.

Spring Snow?

Not only was I surprised this morning to wake up to about four inches of snow,
but look at the duck ...he's all covered in snow! He is still swimming around the pond with a pile of snow on his back...silly duck.

This is one of our blooming plum trees...see the hint of pink under all that white?

It's a Winter...No it's a SPRING Wonderland!!!!

One of the big snowflakes near the gate post is actually the duck.

It is still snowing....
Have a warm end of March Saturday!

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...

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."
