It's a Hot One!

Today is going to be 85 degrees! I was wishing for Spring but now it feels like Summer! lol Just can't win. I've been busy planning my oldest daughter's wedding reception. If anyone has some good appetizer recipes, please share. The kids are on Spring Break. So now I have a house full of kids and my grandson. It seems like everyone of my youngest son's friends are always here. At least I know what they are up to. Our house always seem to be the gathering spot for all my kids' friends. On the weekends, we are fighting for parking in front of the house because of all the cars. lol I am sure the neighbors love that. My youngest and his friends are cleaning the garage and making it into a clubhouse. That garage has been a clubhouse so many times. We had to put a stop to it years ago when my oldest son and daughter got into it and my son locked his sister in the garage. She was beating on the door, and her arm ending up going through the window. Getting stitches was not fun. So hopefully, this time it will be a better experience!

Well, I am off to take my grandson down the street to the beach. Hopefully, it wear him out a little bit!

Spring Swap

I join Char's (The Pickled Pepper Patch) spring swap and as usual, it was terrific. My partner was Julie . She sent so many wonderful handmade items. I hope she enjoys mine as I enjoy hers. She made a chicken wall hanging that I love. She sent a Easter table runner, an Easter stitchery pillow and many other wonderful things. Thank you so much Julie!

It's a May Wedding!

The sun is trying to peek out. It is always so rainy in April. My youngest started his baseball season. Unfortunately, the lack of practice due to rain is showing. Hopefully, they can win a couple of games this season. lol The year before last, they won one game at the end of the season! lol

My daughter has picked a wedding date already. It will be May 21. She seems excited. It will be a small wedding, nothing big. I wish we could really help financially, but since my husband retired, money has been extremely tight. This weekend, I am going to go through all my candles and get my website up. I know it probably will be hard to sell them with the economy but I won't know until I try. People seem to really like them so if I can just get started.

Another Baby!

Well, I found out that my daughter is pregnant once again. She was planning on moving out next year and getting married. Guess that just got fast tracked. Now the baby will be a big brother. I don't know how his is going to handle that. So I guess I will be watching two babies. I am too young to be a grandmother again. lol The baby has been super busy lately getting into everything so I have had a hard time getting anything done. I am have finished a bunny swap and am finishing up a spring swap. I love making things, I just don't seem to have the time and when I do, I just can't get motivated. The weather is wonderful and my son has started baseball so that is taking all my afternoons. But I wouldn't change it for anything. When all four of my kids were playing, we were so busy, but I really miss seeing them play. So I am now enjoying my youngest while it lasts. Well off to do some crafting!

Look What Hubby Found!

My husband was working on a house and found these old sewing needles. It was really hard to find any information on the company but found out that it was started in 1874 as a coal and lumber company that worked with the city of Norfolk. And that is all I could find. Guess local history hasn't made it to the internet yet. Thought these were a cool find. It still has needles in it.

Sewing Time!

The baby is gone to his father's this weekend so I have some time to sew and I am in the mood! lol I am working on some bunnies for some swaps. Just painted them. One more bunny to make. It is pretty nice outside. Baseball starts next week so we will be busy everyday. I can't wait until it gets a little warmer though. My cat had two babies. They are adorable. Here is a picture of them. Kinda hard when momma cat kept getting in the way. She wants all the attention for herself!

Off to make some pork roast for dinner. Hubby will be happy when he gets home.

Posting

I have been so bad about posting in the last six months. Watching the baby is hard work. He is constantly into things. Today he has been a little monster. When he finally takes a nap, I try to get some crafting done or watch some tv. Thank goodness, I have tomorrow and Sunday off. Hopefully the hubby will have some work to do tomorrow. It is baseball season time. I am so glad. I love being outside. The weather seems to warming up finally. It is 51 today and feels better good. Well, that is what is going on with me. Exciting! lol
