the Mad Hatter

I feel a bit like the Mad Hatter today...

I'm late I'm late I'm late.

I just hate that I'm losing my uber organizational skills.

Maybe instead of trying to do three things at one time

I will have to cut back to two?

I am a multitask-er to the max!

I finished up skirt #2

and just in time for a couple of big birthdays tomorrow.

Sorry, I didn't have time to retake these blurry pictures...

The skirts are in a box ready to wrap.

Mr. b helped me pick out these fabrics...

he is really good at mismatching :)

Don't worry this isn't all our granddaughters will be getting from us.

Homemade skirts won't be a very big hit with 5-year-olds.

b

fields of yellow

What do you think...

was I picturing dandelions when I crocheted this coaster set...

Our granddaughters love dandelions!

Through the eyes of a child right?

Mr b grouchily (didn't know that was a word did you?)

 goes after every single one that dares to pop up in our yard.

Well, I just wasted 30 minutes of my lunch attempting to reach

Walmart after this newest internet scam.

Poor lady said they have received over 50 calls so far.

Some people are just so stupid.

b

summery

I thought this material was summery when I picked it out...

like a lemon lime Popsicle on a hot summer day.

When I went into the fabric shop I had

the Matilda Jane look on my mind...

but I discovered picking out NOT matching fabric

is very hard. I just couldn't do it.

And now I have to make another one...Twins!

 I have to make everything in twos,

only different fabrics for this one.

b

summer?

It seems spring has alluded us...

and summer is here already.

Our temps have been in the 90's the last several days.

I can't believe I haven't visited a greenhouse yet.

I received a planter of these pretty posies for Mother's Day...

So pretty! Thank you.

In honor of yet another new season

I treated myself to a bowl of strawberries last night.

The Mr doesn't like them and I love them -

on pancakes, in my tea,

 in shampoo, lotion, body spray

and more.

b

little graduates

I believe that children are our future...

Teach them well and let them lead the way.

Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

We attended an unconventional graduation this weekend,

our granddaughters preschool graduation.

It was a sweet ceremony and

they were so all so cute.

b

finally

Yup...

Spring

has finally arrived.

b

slide down my cellar door

 

Oh Playmate, come out and play with me.

And bring your dollies three. 

Climb up my apple tree,

look down my rain barrel 

Slide down my cellar door 

And we'll be jolly friends forever more. 

Two sweet dolly blankets ready for

two sweet girls.
