random.....

Had a little sewing day during the week...we decided to make a table topper.....my sister deep in concentration!!!!

Still have to sew the rows together...but dontcha love the fabrics....red of course...my fav...and I love it with yellow!

Saturday we drove down to the beach...my hubbys best friend was in town from Chicago for his moms 90th birthday party...so we got together with a few couples for breakfast...didnt get any pics...BUT since we were so close to ROGERS GARDENS, I asked him to take me there for a look...I had to get a couple of birthday gifts...and this is the perfect place....

Everything was all red white and blue!!!!

Rogers has amazing succulents....

and they also have some great artists featured...Primitive Twig.... check out these cool pieces!!!

On Memorial Day we went over to my sisters for a BBQ....her hubby is the best griller around, and YES...they were as good as they look!!!

Potato salad...baked beans...brocolli salad...fruit...and strawberry shortcake for dessert.....are we Americans or what!?!? LOL...

This is my little sister.....she ran a 5k that morning...very proud of her!!!

My mother always dresses for the occasion...lol

My darling daughter, still very pregnant....but so ready....

And of course Stella......always looking for bugs and leaves....she also enjoyed pulling all of Aunt Lindas radishes...before they were ready..lol... Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!!!!

A little progress......

Remember my post for the new year...Im sure you dont lolol...but I choose my word RESOLVE and I made a list of things I resolved to do.....I have made a little progress on a few things. These SHOES......I promised them to myself as a reward if I lost 20 pounds....that happened a few weeks ago...BUT these shoes came in so many cool colors...lime green....yellow...tiffany blue...that it took me a while to decide what color I wanted. They are soooo lightweight its like going barefoot!!!!!

So....I do still have about 10 or 15 more pounds I want to lose...but at least Im getting there....its SO hard...I pretty much gave up carbs, and I tell you the world is a prettier place when I can eat carbs...lololo....the HARDEST thing for me to give up was my coffee creamer!!!!!!!!!! BUT...I have decided I really want it...so I will just cut back on coffee and have one good cup a day!

I have also made progress in the nail biting department.....I have had a few set backs but all in all Im doing good!

I also resolved to learn to crochet......I started a blanket for my soon to be grandson...BUT I HATE the yarn...NOT FUN...so maybe I will finish it and maybe I wont.....my moneys on the latter lol.

I also resolved to play more, and I HAVE.....which is probably why I havent done a lot of the other things I resolved to do!!!! My daughter has a couple of more weeks to go til Jameson is born....so looking foward to it but I have to say Im a little nervous....having only had girls, and only 2 granddaughters....no boys...that penis is making me a little nervous!!! LMAO....I have heard changing boys is a whole new ballgame!!!! Tonight we are having chili dogs and watching the dodgers.....2 years ago right about now.....Chelsey was pregnant and she came over and had chili and watched the Dodgers with us.....later that night she went into labor....2 weeks early....we are trying to recreate that night lolol.... Have a great weekend!!!

Crafty stuff...

Remember in my last post I showed you the cups I got from Anthropology....well.....Im just about done with the little topper....

I decided to do a mini square dance quilt......

its really fun to sew the squares together then cut them up....and sew them back together again...of course I made a mistake...but what else is new...if you want perfection I can tell you the blog to go to....lololol

Anyways, just gotta do the binding.....love the colors!

It was Craft Day today.......we decided to make wreaths...it was at my girlfriends house and as usual there was FOOD!!!

The food is the best part...lol...and some of us bring Pinterest recipes. Next craft day we decided to make ALL pinterest recipes!!!!

Isnt this cool for the 4th of July!!!!

We all love to get together once a month for craft day!!!

I had a wonderful Mothers Day...my girls each had a canvas made for me!!!!

And hubby KNOWS what I like!!!!

On Mothers Day we lounged around all day and BBQed.....and Stella showed off her new bikini...

I hope you all had a great Mothers Day!!! I have to say this one was one of the best!!!!! My girls have blessed me beyond measure and Im the luckiest mom on the planet!!!

Just stuff......

I LOVE Anthropology.....and I go in there all the time. Last couple times I went in, I have been eyeing these cups...LOVE them!!!! So today....with it almost being Mothers Day...I treated my self to them......(oh yeah, I really NEEDED more cups...lolol)...anyways...I got them home and decided it would really be nice to make a little table topper to go with them, when I have a friend to tea..or coffee...whatta think?

Im a little hooked on spray paint right now.....even the dogs are running scared!

Think I might store some fabric in it now....

I still hang out with my high school friends.....and a couple of weeks ago we went to hear our friends band play at a park event. Now this band was the band that played at all of our high school parties, and they STILL play together and we are all still friends!!!! We all went to the same high school.. We try to go see them whenever we can......the other band that always played at my high school parties...of all things...was Van Halen...I graduated with Alex...Eddie was a couple years younger...but I remember going to parties and being charged 5 bucks to get in cuz they were playing!!!! SO FUNNY to think of those days....one Halloween I even went trick or treating with Alex!!!!!!

We all had a blast dancing it up!!!

I HAVE to share this outfit that Sharon sent for my newest granddaughter...so pink and frilly.....and the onsie...too cute!!! She sent a ton of stuff for the baby....thank you SO much!!!! and Ravi says thank you!!!!

This next picture just melts my heart!!!!!

So spring is here with a vengence, or its more like summer, in the 90s today! We are on baby watch......Jameson weighs 6 pounds now the dr. says and will be here in a few weeks....I think hes gonna be a big one!!!!

Some Pinterest fun!

Its amazing what a can of spray paint will do......

I got this idea from Pinterest...you can see it on my boards under GARDEN....now if I could only figure out how to add the link:(

and of course in my excitement I forgot to take a before picture, but the chair was just a wood chair and the basket a $2.00 basket that was natural color. A can of spray paint and VOILA!!!!

My bff Glenni sent this to me...I had sent a pic to HER to show her and she got it for ME!!!!!!

OK....OK...I have something on the cutting board!!!!

and I will be sewing all month!!!!

How about YOU...are you as addicted to Pinterest as me????
