WPP #35, 36, 37 - So late...

I took the pictures but I don't have set up a good system to process them.  I ask Mike to help me out so I can streamline it and post my pictures faster :)  anyhow, here are the pictures from those weeks.
#35

I am obsessed with fat quarters!  Maybe because I love to make  Stuffies? or I have deeper psychological need to make a quilt?  ;) 
#36

Meat.  We had a great feast at my sister's birthday.  I have lots of pictures, but I have not done the blogging yet.  I am so behind in many things that had passed.  I will try to blog a few entries, even if I am late!
#37

This little cutie is a squirrel made from recyclables sweaters!  My daughter likes it a lot. I think is a great idea.  To use something that otherwise would have gone into the forgotten boxes under your stairs or sitting in a thrift store forever... The blue part is the sweater and it is soooo soft. 

WPP #33 and #34 - LOve and cuteness..

My brother got married last week... main reason why I forgot to post my weekend picture.  But, I thought this picture was just appropriate since love was in the air ;)  

This interesting piece of art belongs to the restaurant that sometimes we order food to go.  I found it to be somewhat ugly, but definitely a cuteness factor as well.

WPP#31 - Nature alone...

has given me these peppers ( plus about 5 more) without me... I feel bad that this summer felt too tired to do any gardening and the weather certainly did not help in the matter, but I am hopeful that next year I will do lots of flowers... maybe an all dahlia fest or Sunflower fest?  Mmm.... so many idea :) Ok, plus some veggies too!

WPP#30 - Smile!

I saw this cookie at the bakery and made me smile... Hope you smile too!!!

WPP #29 - Gumballs!

Thank God for gum balls (most of the time anyway - meaning when you have some quarters for it!) We went to an antique store and Ari was tired and excited for all the goodies in there that she was in overload until we saw the gum ball machine, then she upped her game by asking me for not her usual 2 "balls", but 4... oh well at least we got to see most of the store.  After we left, in the ride home she finally felt asleep, she was so tired.
But, I still love gum balls myself ;)

WPP #28 - Nature and love

This past weekend I attended the wedding of two great people.  Their love reminded me that even though we hear so much bad stuff out there, we are still finding the time to find love above all.  That is quite refreshing to see...

WPP#27 Is it Baking time?

I realized that I don't bake during the summer... must likely because the weather is just not conducive.  But, I'd been starting to crave some baking... Maybe it is my oven that misses me :(

WPP # 26 Life...

Life finds its way. That is what this little guy proves.  I bought a Tiger's eye mini tree/bush about 3 summers ago.  This year there were 2 little trees about 3 ft and 5 ft away from the original!  I could not believe it.  But, they were there saying "hello" to me.  I gave one away to someone that loves to garden a lot.  I think it will get the love that deserves, and I kept the other one even though I need to move him somewhere else with enough space :)

52 Projects #22 - A cube for work.

I bought this cube at Michael's -- sometime ago.  I forgot to take a picture before I added the paper, but it was brown. I managed to find some pictures that I could use for my cube.  Most of my pictures are in the computer and the ones that I print are usually for some purpose.  Anyway, I found some good ones :)  Here is how it looks before adding the pictures.

Here is with the pictures done:

The picture in the left is one of the first times ( I think this was THE first one) that Ari went in the swing.  She loves it so much now.  The one in the right was last years Christmas.  We had finished to decorate the Christmas tree and she was very excited.

Sorry, this is fuzzy (picture), but you can see the birdie.  It hit my window (not too bad) and I was outside protecting it until he could fly again.  One time before, another bird hit the patio door and the hawk got to him before me. I know circle of life and such, but I don't want to see that in my deck.  So, I was outside and I was able to take a picture of the bird and then it flew away.  In the right, it is a picture of our Great Smokies Trip.  We loved it.  Maybe we will retire there? who knows :)

This picture was taken when we went to Holland, MI to see the tulips.  It was so cold and rainy, but we loved it.  Ari was about 9 months or so.  I need to add some more glue to the corners or buy some nice stickers to secure the corners.  Or do you have a better idea?

I kept trying to make her smile and she was trying to be funny.  So, here are the best pictures of the bunch.

WPP # 24 Doll House

 We are getting to the point where my baby or toddler is liking castles and dollhouses.  I bought a doll house kit about 2 years ago... I think I was pregnant and I did not know yet what I was having, but they had an awesome sale and could not pass it.  Now, I need to start working on it.  I think it will be ready when she turns 5 if I am lucky ;).
p.s. I found this doll house at a thrift store awhile back (was it 1 or 2 years? don't remember now) for my nieces.  They outgrown it, now has come back to us and Arianna loves it.  I never thought when I was buying this house that it will come back to me.

WPP #23 Tea Party!

This post brings the child on me totally :) This is the first tea set that Arianna loves.  She wants to "Tea party" all the time.  I loved (and still do) tea sets.  I used to get one tea set every year for the first 12- 14 years of my life.  Now, I wish I could had kept some of them.  But, hopefully I can keep this one for her.  After all, it is the first one!

What did you love when you were little?

52 projects #19 - A haircut!

My husband hates to get haircuts... apparently this is the case since he was a little boy.  But, his hair was soooooo long that I had no choice but to try to cut his hair.  I am not a hair stylist.  The scissors and I only see each other when cutting fabric or paper! But, here it goes.

Well, it is long, right?  This is when I was getting ready to cut his hair... Arianna got a little scare and we put a cartoon that she likes so she could ignore the noise.

wow, so much hair gone... and I was just working the back part.

First shot, work in progress... second looking at lot better.

The forehead and side burns were not easy.  For the forehead since he has a widow's peak cut too much and he will have like a hole in the hair.. .for the sideburns... trying to match them is the hard part.  I got so nervous around here, but he was calm like a clam.

Done!  He started making poses too.  You are so funny, sweety.  Now, time to clean.  It looked like I grew a little monster with all the hair!

WPP#22 - My craft swap box!

I can't even remember now when I got my craft swap box in the mail, but I just took the picture yesterday with Tiffiney's help.  She rearranged all the goodies while I whipped some guacamole for our grilling day.  We had our families coming to have some arrachera, pork chops, chicharron, chicken, salsas, sour cream, cheese, white rice and the guacamole. I had planned to do a garden party awhile back, but I canceled because I was just not feeling up to it.  But, I called my mom on Thursday to tell her that I was canceling and she said no!  I am still going I made a few things already!! So, I said ok.  So, it was back on - just like that :)  So, big kuddos to my mom because the day turned out beautifully.  Thank you :)  Now, on Monday we are planting a few pots! 

WPP#20 - A flower...

Went to a bridal shower and they had this beautiful center pieces.  Reminded me of the ocean and our trip to Cancun.  It was very beautiful :)

WPP#19 - Love and a paw

I'd been playing with my cricut so much that I needed to buy a new sheet for it :), and I realized when I was trying to decide whether I will buy one or not that Jack (my cat) had signed my sheet.  Can you see his signature?   It also reminded me that I just got a bag full of old candy... old in the sense that I used to eat it when I was about 12 -13 years old and it is candy that you cannot find here, but that my aunt sent me :)  Yums! 
Also, this weekend and each day we should remember our love ones, but for this weekend Happy Mother's Day to every mommy (love u ma) !

WPP #17 Betsy in a hole...

Oh Betsy, I know you want to help me with my future project...

WPP#16

Picture taken at Little Red House... It is a really good place to visit.  Another post with more picture will be coming soon :) but this is my WPP for this week.

WPP#15

"Our" Cardinal found a partner!  Must be Spring Love :)  They seldom are together to take a picture.  They are nearby, but never in the same frame except for this shot...then they flew apart again.  They seem to like the bird feeders that we put in front of the house.

WPP #11

Can you see the new growth in my lollipop evergreen tree?  That sure is an awesome sign.... of Spring :)

WPP#10

I just happened to pass by when I saw that my "2 kittens" were entertained by our squirrels and birds.  Aren't they adorable?
