Today were making handprint keepsakes for Mommy and Daddy.
Using a 2 ingredient dough I got from PagingFunMoms site. It was so easy to mix together and smells wonderful!
Hope you have as much fun as we did!

Wow its been over a year since my last post. And that was to welcome my last grandbaby, Max. So what have I been up too? Organize, organize organize......
Trying to get organized, takes a lot of skill, time and organization. Who knew? LOL
Meanwhile handiwork has taking a back seat to the grandbabies or as I like to call them... The Grands.
Aubri is three, Ava is two and Max is now a year old. What happened to the past year? Busy busy with the Grands, a little bit of health issues and getting used to the idea of my baby leaving the nest.
Yes were empty nesters now. And though I miss having my girls with me all the time its nice to have visits from them all and I still watch the Grands.
Kurt and I have settled into a routine which keeps us pretty busy ourselves and with the addition of several dozen chickens, a new pup, and getting caught up on honey-do's, its seems empty nesting isn't so empty after all.
Plus we always get to see all of our beautiful family.
Baking all bread goods, cooking more and eating out less, making more time for volunteer work is just a few of the changes we've made.
But now I am itching to be stitching!!
Aubri had a her very first dance camp and so she just had to have a cover-up. :) Made one for each of the girls.
Crocheted my first paid item. Modeled by Ava
Plus our assembly is coming up and I fell in love with this vintage pattern. After taking my measurements found I needed to consult a vintage book on how to resize for 2013 body shapes.
A muslin trial later, my first, I wasn`t too far off. So off to try with a closer fabric to my goal fabric. White with black polka dots and a black band and bow at the bottom.
Here are a few more pictures until next time, I bid you farewell.

Wow has it been a busy place around here!
 |
| Aubri is two now and is a BIG sister! Little Max was born at 9:55 AM on May 31st, 2012. She's a pro at giving soft kisses and touching his arm softly to check on him. |
 |
| Ava is 9 months old and a ball of fire. A fisher of goldfish, a climber of stairs and an all around taster of all foods. |
 |
| Ava and Aubri are bestest buddies and they enjoy playing and engaging each other. :) |
 |
| Ava is still getting to know Max, but is warming up to the idea. |
The girls stay with me during the week, while Moms and Dads work and we have lots of adventures
 |
| bug watching |
 |
| swimming conversations |
 |
| poolside giggles |
 |
| deep thoughts shared under a tree |
Between snapping up pictures and giving kisses, this Granny has been sewing a little, experimenting with new recipes and with a gift of an embroidery machine have been trying my hand at digitizing and embroidering.
I'm testing a beautiful sweater at the moment and hope to be posting picures of it soon. :)
So many ideas so little time to pull away from my little ones.
Until another day, I bid you farewell!
