A paws project

Our cat Birdie gave this morning's project two paws up.

 

 

Maybe she was hoping for a new blanket?

 

 

It's definitely her style.

 

This set will be on our next Dakota Kids table...

for sale.

 

 

Maybe I could come up with enough scraps

 to make her a little security blanket?

Who's there?

What do you do when a robin is tapping at your window?

Well I invited her in
 for a cup of coffee and a snickerdoodle muffin.

 

 

We talked about the weather, knitting projects

and Downton Abbey.

breathing by the river

Mr. b and I headed to the river yesterday for our supper...

Fish tacos by the shore.

 

 

 

 

This wildlife was having their supper by the river also...

 

 

Enjoy your life today

because yesterday had

gone and tomorrow may

never come...Alan Coren

 

 

 

It must have been a delicious hillside

because they weren't budging.

Happy Birthday

It was a big week for us...

 

 

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day as if we were actually Irish.

Mr b. loves corned beef hash.

and 

Our granddaughters were here for the weekend.

 

 

We whipped up a little something

 for their daddy's March birthday...

they love my sewing room!

 

 

He loves to golf so we made him a silly pillowcase

and handmade cards.

 

The big fluffy birthday cake went out the door

before I got a picture of it or...

a piece of it!

marathon sewing

 

I have been on somewhat of a bib-making marathon...

more about that later though.

 

 

I treated myself to a couple of flower stems

while at the hair salon last week...

 

People in South Dakota wear many hats

and my hairdresser also happens to be a florist.

 

Flowers always make people better,

 happier, and more helpful;

they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

Luther Burbank

 

 

I call this denim bib a stitch sampler bib.

I'm crazy about recycling old denim jeans.

The bib has 6 different stitch patterns on it.

And it took a great picture with my flower stems.

Irish

Happy Day!

Everyday!

 

 

And may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Everyday!

 

 

Aren't these pea pods sweet?

With a little crocheted edge...

so delicate and so vintage.

 

 

 

What's your favorite St. Patrick's Day tradition?

How about a corned beef and cabbage lunch?

 

 

 

 

If it's drowning you’re after,

don’t torment yourself with shallow water.

Irish saying

 

 

May the sun always shine on your windowpane,

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain,

May the hand of a friend always be near you,

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you!

-Irish Blessing
