Blueberries.....

Yesterday, Blueberries were open for the pickin'!! So, today my parents braved it and took my 2 daughter's along blueberry pickin'. Lauren the 7yr old loved it!! Wondering how many made it to her tummy compared to the her bucket :) My oldest who is 14yr..loved it also until her fingers started cramping....But, all in all they picked 28lbs of blueberries!! So, all I can think of now it Violet from Willie Wonka.. We will all soon be turning blue and looking like blueberries..LOL 

Next, is what to do with our stash.. going to freeze some I know that for sure..I'm thinking muffins, pancakes, blueberry lemonade, etc..the list in my head goes on and on..

Maddie-Pattie T's

Finished up a new design for my Maddie-Pattie T's.. And I think it's adorable plus the fact is my model is adorable to boot too :)  I worked with Freezer Paper this time around and I have to say..I LOVED IT.. I'm going to try a few more design's with Maddie-Pattie and see what I can do with her :)

Spring Blossoms

Just some of the beautiful blossoms we had blooming this spring.. They looked lovely.. The peonies which are my favorite just added that special something to the yard this year.. Especially, too since they came from my grandmother's garden :)  And the iris was a bonus.. My father each year comes to the house and starts plantings blubs in secret.. We never know when or where or what he's planting till the next year..

When Life Hands You Lemons......

Here's Tucker!!

This is Tucker.. our 2 yr. old Golden Retriever..Who thinks he's a lap dog weighing in at 75lbs.. He loves to cuddle with blankets and pillows as you can see.. Any blankets that are on the ground he thinks are fair game.. Last night my youngest brought her pillow down and sleeping bag and was chillin in the living room.. She leaves for a few minutes and guess who moves in..LOL

This photo was actually taken by my 7yr old.. I think she did a great job :)

Maddie's Pics

We had another snow storm blow thru here again last night and then turn into freezing rain this morning.. So, the kiddos were off today.. Made some Rice Krispie Treats.. So, they were some happy campers :)

My oldest Maddie loves photographer.. I gene I believe she has picked up from her Great Grandma Mary.. Oh how happy she would be to see what she has been doing.. This morning I told her take my Camera and take some pics outside.. it looked so neat with all the ice hanging off the trees.. I think the photos she took were pretty cool...

 These remind me of little red hearts hanging from the branches....

More Handpainted Stools :)

These are some more examples of stools I have made. I do have one with a Ladybug that I will have to find that pic and put up later.

 This Rocker was not handmade as was the above Stools by my Father-In-Law.. I bought this one and painted it in vibrate happy colors. This Rocker and Tote (filled the tote with books etc)I made went to a Charity Event this past Summer.
